Executing a Journal From a Macro, with User Dialog Entry
Executing a Journal From a Macro, with User Dialog Entry
(OP)
OK, in my last post I learned that I cannot execute an NXOpen DLL from Journal->Play.
I can, however, do it from Macro->Play, but I need to launch my Journal from my macro.
All is well, except when my Journal opens a file selection dialog box and my keyboard doesn't respond. It's like the macro locked out the keyboard until it is done. I tried recording the macro with "user entry on dialog boxes" turned on, but it didn't change what was recorded.
Any ideas how I can accomplish my task?
Thanks,
Jeff

RE: Executing a Journal From a Macro, with User Dialog Entry
Preferences→User Interface→Display Dialogs in Playback option
in the documentation, but that doesn't seem to help either.

I am also attempting to call a .dll code either within, or immediately following, my journal file (as a result of some error that won't let me change the color of curves I extracted in my journal).
I landed on both your last post (http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=327153) and this one while trying to find a solution to the exact same problem...so please update this if you have found a solution. I also can not find a way to let me access my Journal's user interface while calling it with a macro, and I can't find out a way to call either the .dll or a macro which calls the .dll using journal.
Anyhow, I'd love to hear if you've gotten anywhere with this.
Thanks,
Peter

Unfortunately, I'm still struggling with this and I have yet to find a solution.
