MODULES

(OP)
Gentlemen,
we are planning to develop VB custom made
Journals/Macros. what all we need to buy for this?
Like NX open, does free version of VB (Express edition)
can do the job?

Regards
G.

RE: MODULES

I can say from experience that the express versions work fine for writing journals.

If you want to compile your code to dll or exe files, you will need an author license. If you want to create dialog boxes that match the NX look and feel, you may want to get the UI block styler license. If you intend to write code and execute it as a journal, you do not need any additional licenses.

Thanks Cowski,
I have another question what we can
do with NX OPEN licence?

Regards
Girish.

RE: MODULES

Sign dll files so that they will run in NX.

RE: MODULES

There are several advantages to having an author license, among them are:
  • You can compile your code into dll or exe files (as mentioned by petulf). This allows someone else to run your code without handing over the source. Also, there will be a slight speed increase when starting your code; every time you run a journal, NX must first parse and compile the journal source code before running it which takes a small amount of time.
  • You can freely reference any other code libraries that you wish. There are severe restrictions on what you are allowed to reference with plain journaling (e.g. you cannot even use LINQ, which is part of the .net framework).
  • You can control an NX session from another machine (remoting).
  • You can run compiled code in the Visual Studio debugger.
