Any idea how i can do that through code ?

Just wondering if you ever found a way to switch to modeling using VB.NET code? I have been trying to figure this out for some time now..

NX 8 has been updated to allow some limited switching between applications via code; but if you are on NX 7.5 or below, there is no built in routine to switch applications.

Confirming that in 7.5 and below you cannot switch applications. Using the UF namespace you can access an attribute that is supposed to tell you which module you are in. However it always returns 0 if you are using an NXopen application. This is actually documented in the help if you dig down deep enough to the C++ wrapper docs.

Haven't gotten to try nx8 yet. We have our copy but I'm still not willing to make the switch until all the CNC programmers get it. No point in writing code for versions no one has yet :P
