I am pretty new to NX automation,
Do We need a special lecence to compile grip files?
Thanks

RE: Grip
RE: Grip
GRIP has not been enhanced, except for plotting at NX3, since about V11! It is easy to use and can do simple things, but the real automation tool in NX is now journals and UG/Open API. There are still a few things that can only be done in GRIP, but I would expect those routines to be in the other tool boxes, soon.

Hi I AM AT THE BEGINER LEVEL FOR UNIGRAPHICS KNOWLEDGE FUSION AND OPEN API AND I NEED SOME HELP FOR HEAD START SO CAN ANY ONE PLEASE MAKE SOME FAVOUR.
RE: Grip
I don't know that grip would be my programming tool of choice to use with NX these days as it hasn't been kept up to date with changes over several past versions. The development was stopped prior to NX, and while it still works for many older and unchanged functions quite a few new parts of the system have no grip functionality. You might do better to look into some of the other NX Open programming tools based on C or visual basic programming languages.

RE: Grip
I have another question,
We had a guy in our Designs for couple of weeks,he made some
.grx files for some special functions,how we make.grx files?
I have some .grs files,can I make them in to .grx? if so
could you please explain me.

RE: Grip
Anyway, all of this is covered in the User Documentation, and once you get used it it, it all works pretty good.

I really appreciate your help.

RE: Grip
John answered it already, there is an executable license and a separate development license for GRIP which includes a linker and a compiler. The source that you write is a text file .GRS, the linker outputs .GRI files and the compiler makes the .GRX executables.
The same with different extensions is true of some of the other NX Open programming tools where in general you need two licenses to develop but only one of those if all you need to do is run the executable.
The exception to that rule is journal files which can be recorded from keystrokes, but also extended with visual basic programming to produce customizations that don't require any extra licenses. Naturally the scope may be reduced as compared with the C based stuff but at this point it is not within the scope of my knowledge to say what how and where they differ in capacity.
Hey I'd like some of the programming whizzes who occasionally posy here to follow up on this. People regularly post asking about Grip, and while John and myself both know and can help a bit with it, we have to recommend that for fresh starters you might as well learn one of the other languages. In fact I'm thinking of looking into it myself. But which is best. Who can advise me as to whether the Journaling cum VB programming tool is capable of handling what functions?

RE: Grip
Thanks for the correction I didn't even notice that I had the compiler and the linker steps in the wrong order. It tends to be all a bit memory lane for me these days I'm afraid. Looks like we're all moving onto bigger and better things since the future of programming for NX appears to be getting cheaper to not buy the extra licenses.
Cheers
