    Which should I use - NX Open GRIP, Python, VB, etc.... ?

    I am in the need of some kind of script (and thus scripting language) to execute my project but I am a bit overwhelmed by the amount of coding languages NX supports and I don't know where to start. Currently, I am simply trying to write a script that extracts coordinates of a set of points in my...
