Dear Forum.

Can someone please help me with setting up a toolbar with buttons linked to block styler ui's? I know how to create nxopen dll and a block styler dlx. But, how do I stack these with a toolbar?

Thank you.

RE: toolbar with buttons linked to block styler

In Customize you can assign an action, including NX Open programs, to a user-defined Toolbar/Ribbon icon. What version of NX are you running?

Hi John. I've develop KF apps when KF was first integrated with UG V17. I am now using nx9 and I recall briefly that there is a special folder with sub folders of application, startup, and dfa. But, the specific details of the file structure and contents escape me.

RE: toolbar with buttons linked to block styler

Yes, you need to set the environment variable:

UGII_KF_USER_CLASS_DIR=<path to the folder with your KF files>

What about having several buttons on a toolbar? And these buttons hooked to dlxs and dlls? Where in the ug docs does it specify the setup and contents of the folders?

RE: toolbar with buttons linked to block styler

When you assign an 'Action' to a toolbar/ribbon icon, you can include the full path to the executable file and therefore it does not have to be any special place.
