I would like to know something about the NXOpen development enviroment
(OP)
Hi, All
I'm a newbie for NX world.
I just finished my projects on CATIA automation (VB), Mastercam C-HOOK(MFC). Now, I'm changing to UGS NX.
I'm investigating on how to build my development enviroment for NX.
I would like to get some information from you. The information I need is like the following :
For CATIA automation, there are two ways for that:
1. CAA Rade development. you need special license for that.
2. VBA macro development. you don't need anything special to work on that.
For Mastercam C-Hook development. you have to get the SDK which isn't included in the standard Mastercam installation. You have to get it seperately.
I searched online and tried to get some information. The following documentations give me different answers. The first shows me I don't need any special license for NXOPEN API from NX4. The second document tells me I have to buy the "NX Open Toolkits
Author software package" to do the development.

By the way, I prefer to use C++ to do something on NX.
Any suggestion will be realy appreciated.
Thanks!

RE: I would like to know something about the NXOpen development enviroment
After more searching, I found I must have the following add-on for NX automation development.
- NX Open for .NET author (if I take VB or C#)
- NX Open automation studio (if I use C++)
Is my understanding right?
Another silly question? What is the different between "NX Open toolkits author" and "NX Open automation studio"?
Thanks!
