Creating a Visual Editor cartoon from the drafting program.
Creating a Visual Editor cartoon from the drafting program.
(OP)
I'm trying to create a cartoon for visual editor in the drafting application that has expressions associated with it. According to the NX documentation I need to set the environment variable UGII_DRAFT_EXPRESSIONS_OK=1. I did just that, but the VE is still not accessible in the drafting application. I ran help>NX Log File to make sure I made the change in the proper directory, and ugii_env.dat file. I'm using NX6.
Does anyone have suggestions, or a possible work around?
Thanks.

I had no problem, using NX 6.0, creating a Sketch on the face of a Drawing, adding Dimensions and then using the Visual Editor tool, capturing an image of the Sketch and then adding the relevant Expressions to the Editor's list of active expressions.

At some point I'd like to adapt the Visual Editor to create a template for a die-set, or something similar in nature.

Originally I had the environment variable UGII_DRAFT_EXPRESSIONS_OK set to nothing. I then set the variable to 1 thinking that would fix it. I tried restarting NX, as well as my machine.

BTW, when you set the UGII_DRAFT_EXPRESSIONS_OK variable in the ugii_env.dat file, make sure that you've also removed the '#' sign from in front of it as this the 'comment' symbol.
