Reuse OOTB button icons on custom made NX 10 tools
Reuse OOTB button icons on custom made NX 10 tools
(OP)
Hi,
I have started to make some custom automation tools and rather then come up with my own button icons/images, I would like access and reuse the existing icons that are relevant. Just specifying them in my men/tbr file. Is there a way to do this? What format are they in and where are they located? I have searched bmp, jpg, gif, ico, etc. and can't seem to find them.
Thanks.

If you go into customize you can copy the icon from a button..I suspect they are embedded in the executables...

what is that purple color code that nx recognizes as transparent ?
I tried rgb(128,0,128) but without success...

I do not know if the zipfiles still are available on the FTP or not.

If creating your own icons you will need to save them as 24 bit bitmaps to get the magenta transparency to work. See https://docs.plm.automation.siemens.com/tdoc/nx/10.0.3/nx_help/#uid:index_customizing_nx_installation:customize_interface:ui_customize_uic_cust_tl_btmp

RGB 255,0,255 for the background - and as already stated, save it as a 24-bit bitmap file (.bmp).

To use the built in icons, you only need to know the name, and the system will select the correct size for the location, such as on the ribbon.

Go to customize mode then right click on a button; choose change button icon -> icon name... The dialog that pops up will give the name of the current icon image.
