help in moving from grip to journaling

help in moving from grip to journaling

help in moving from grip to journaling

(OP)
In starting to move from grip to journaling (SNAP does not seem to be an option here), I'm trying to figure out if an IDE can be used.

Our system
Windows 7 SP1
NX 9.0.3.4

It seems in NX8.5 that visual studio 2010 express was supported. That is being superseded by visual studio 2013 express. Is 2013 supported with NX9? Is there a better IDE for journaling or are IDE's not an option without SNAP?

With this large a step I'm not even sure what would be required to go in this direction so any suggestions would be appreciated, and having been relieved of any admin privileges when we moved from Linux to windows a few years ago it has been a long time since setting anything up.

RE: help in moving from grip to journaling

You can (and should) use an IDE for writing journal code. I'm currently using the VB express 2010 IDE mainly with NX 8.5; I've also used it to write code for NX 7.5, 8, and 9. From reading various threads, I get the impression that C/C++ is a bit more temperamental about which IDE/compiler version you use. If you use a .NET language, just be sure to target the proper .NET framework version if/when you compile the code.

Thanks for the reply cowski, your participation on this forum is greatly appreciated. I seem to remember someone posting something about a year ago on setting up the IDE but am unable to find the post, it had to do with integrating NX functions in the environment. Is there something to this or did I just misread/misremember the post?

RE: help in moving from grip to journaling

If you are using MS visual studio, you will want to look at the NX help file for instructions on setting up the project wizard (the wizard isn't necessary, but it is handy). The programming stuff isn't installed by the default help installation options, you may need to re-run the help setup and choose to install the docs. Once installed go to: NX help -> Programmer's guide (this will open a separate help window) -> NXOpen -> NXOpen programmer's guide -> wizard setup.

I'm not sure if this is the thread you were thinking of, but there is some discussion on setting up the wizard here:
