Journal to start an NX command

Journal to start an NX command

Journal to start an NX command

(OP)
Can a journal be used to start/open an NX command?
I am looking to import step214 files. I would like the journal to open the dialog box with some of the setting set by the journal. Then the user only has to browse to the file location.

Thanks,
Kevin

No, not in the way that you describe. Here are some alternatives:
  • If you always want to use the same options, edit the STEP import/export .def files to use the desired options. The options will now be set as desired and the user will only have to supply the export location.
  • Add a folder browser to your journal so the user can supply the desired output location.
  • Perhaps a macro could be used to open the STEP export dialog and set the desired options and end with the dialog open so the user can modify settings as needed and supply the output location.

Thanks cowski! I think I will try having different .def files on a server for the different applications and also incorporate the browsing functionality.
