Modify NX2 shop docs

[Paul1970]

Is there information available on how to modify NX2 shop documentation? Or are there software add-ons/plugins for creating customizable shop documentation from the Cam operations?

Anything at this point woud be a help for me.


Thanks,
Paul Perry

The bad news is ther is no tool like Post Builder for the Shop Docs. They must be manualy edited and any custom Tcl/Tk code added or edited. I would suggest learning some Tcl/Tk there is a lot of available Tcl information on the web. You can get books on Tcl. Look at the existing Shop Doc files and examine what they do. Many of the variables used in postprocesing can be used in shop docs. Have you checked the Siemens web site? If you have a web key check out

Thanks for the quick reply John!

That will be my next approach: trial and error in modifying the shop docs!
