Running a ASSEMBLY LOAD OPTION Macro at the Startup of NX (Integrated with TC) 1

[mdfathmi]

I have created a macro that changes the assembly load options in NX (NX 8 in my case)

I would like to run this macro at the startup of NX (Integrated with TC)

Do I need to modify change the ugii.bat file to run the .macro file ? If so how should I do it? Or please suggest if there is any other better way.

Thanks
FJ

I think I do not sure

Try this GTAC journal

and place the statement that run your macro in the
'
' TODO: Add your application code here
'
Option Strict Off

Imports System
Imports NXOpen
Imports NXOpen.UF

Module Module1

' NX Startup
' This entry point activates the application at NX startup

' This will work when complete path of the dll is
' in the Environment Variable USER_STARTUP
' (or USER_DEFAULT, but then it runs at ALL user exits)
'
' Note that this does NOT run as a Journal - it must be
' built into a .DLL first.

Function Startup(ByVal args As String()) As Integer

Dim s As Session = Session.GetSession()
Dim theUI As UI = UI.GetUI()
Dim theUfSession As UFSession = UFSession.GetUFSession()

' TODO: Add your application code here

s.LogFile.WriteLine(" ")
s.LogFile.WriteLine(" ")
s.LogFile.WriteLine(" ")
s.LogFile.WriteLine("THE STARTUP PROGRAM IS RUNNING.")
s.LogFile.WriteLine(" ")
s.LogFile.WriteLine(" ")
s.LogFile.WriteLine(" ")

Return 0

End Function

Public Function GetUnloadOption(ByVal dummy As String) As Integer

'Unloads the image immediately after execution within NX
GetUnloadOption = NXOpen.Session.LibraryUnloadOption.Immediately

End Function

End Module

a984928, Thanks for your comments, but do you have a suggestion on which *.dll I can use these codes?

 

[Ehaviv]

The DLL is got from compiling this journal
after inserting your executing macro statement

Again I am not sure
you need to try it

Why A macro? just change it in the customer default settings.

1 ) Why do you do / want this ?

2) if it is for yourself only , or a very few users on the same site, you can in the load options dialog , 1) set the settings you like 2) press the button "save as default". The next time NX starts it will read your settings. done. No macro.
2.5, you can in the load options dialog open existing load options files, in case you have different settings in different projects.

3)If there are more users on your site, you might want to set up a common load options file for all users , then you can set a "windows variable" UGII_LOAD_OPTIONS such that , when you start NX it Loads the load_loptions.def -file you pointed out with the variable.
something similar to : UGII_LOAD_OPTIONS = D:\nxconfig\startup\load_options.def ( the file can have any name)


See my post ( the post #4) on

http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=414165

(i.e i would set the UGII_LOAD_OPTIONS in the ugii_env.dat)

I agree with Toost. Also, calling an NX macro from journal code is not supported.
