NX5 Macro Help

NX5 Macro Help

NX5 Macro Help

(OP)
Trying to make a macro to do my balloon stacking, however the annotation origin dialog requires two user entries, but the macro will only let me insert one per dialog.  Any ideas, is there a better way to do this?

RE: NX5 Macro Help

I second that try with a journal and get back if it doesn't work some of the guys who post on here are really good with journals and coding for extended functionality. Search the forum as well on the same topics and you may find what you need to ask next before you even knew you needed to ask it.

Regards

Hudson

I tried a journal, but I'm a complete noob to it.  I will search around on here, but the one thing I couldn't figure out was how to insert a user pick into the journal.


Is there some kind of user guide, or do I just need to know a little VB?

Thanks guys.

Digging around a little more it seems the annotation origin dialog is only a partially journaled command.  I couldn't even get it to work without a pick.  But again, as I said I'm a complete noob.

Does anyone know where I might find a good teaching resource for Visual Basic....or more specifically NX5 Journals?

RE: NX5 Macro Help

There is a grip program called AUTO_BUBBLE_STACKER that may do what you want. You can find it in the grip library.
