Teamcenter - NXOpen. Exporting and importing datasets

[danieladubois]

Hi,

I’m trying to export some assemblies form Teamcenter to a local directory C:\. I’m using the example form the NX Open Programmer's Guide but I doesn’t work. I don’t really understand how does it work, do I have to be in a NX managed session or to have Teamcenter open?
