NXOpen, Python & VS Code

[Frank2288]

Hi all, I always used NX programming features relying on Visual Studio and VB libraries.
Recently I started looking into Python, mainly to exploit the tools offered by several precompiled libraries that are very useful.

I'd like to be able to run scripts built outside of NX, using Visual Studio Code. Has anyone managed to import NXOpen Python libraries in VS Code correctly. I'm not a programmer and my programming skills mainly rely on the ability to exploit intellisense (autocomplete) code in my programming environment.

I tried to import NXOpen python libraries but I couldn't do it.
Any advices?

Thanks

Hi
Could you let me know the procedure how you tried to import the NXopen libraries in VS Code. It is simple in Visual Studio, right click references and browse to the folder, But VS code is not having that option .

To be fair, I'havent found any clear procedure to follow and I'm not sure that my attempts can be considered valid. I tried to add the C:\Program Files\Siemens\NX1899\NXBIN\python folder to the project and tried to import.

Any help would be appreciated.

Also, if someone has managed to use a different programming environment with python/NXOpen would be helpful too.
