GRADE wont start

GRADE wont start

GRADE wont start

(OP)
I want to try and write a GRIP program that will allow me to extract the coordinates of certain cylinders in a model and export those points to a text file for import to another program.

I have gotten some great ideas and starting points from this forum and the GRIP Library but when I click on my "grade.exe" file, I get the following message:

"This application has failed to start because libsyss.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

When I do a file search for "libsyss" I can see that it exists in a number of folders in the UG directory. I know I have used this GRADE program in the past but we have recently installed NX3 so I don't know if I need to do anything differently now.

I appreciate any help on this matter.

Thank-you


RE: GRADE wont start

Is this failing when double clicking using Windows explorer?

Use (task bar) "Start" -> All Programs -> NX x.0 -> NX Tools -> "NX Open Grip"

This set the directory to %UGII_BASE_DIR%\ugopen and runs a batch wrapper that requires the location of the UGII_BASE_DIR as an argument E.g. "D:\Program Files\UGS\NX 3.0\UGOPEN\grade.bat" "D:\Program Files\UGS\NX 3.0\"

Alternatively use (task bar) "Start" -> All Programs -> NX x.0 -> NX Tools -> "Command Prompt" to start a "NX" shell

Then enter "%UGII_BASE_DIR%\ugopen\grade.exe" (or use windows explorer to drag grade.exe to the NX shell)

HTH
