Using Journal on File-Open

[Speedee]

Hi,

is it possible to automatically run a Journal when opening a file in NX?

I want to automatically run a Journal that sets CAM config when opening a seedfile.

Thanks

You can use menuscript to add an action (running your journal) after the file open command is used. Consult the help file Automation -> MenuScript user's guide, and Automation -> NXOpen Programmer's guide -> Execution methods for details of how to set it up.

@cowski: What licenses are needed to build a program along the lines you're referring to? Is the ability included in any of the NX Mach Bundles?

Menuscript is a method of customizing menu items. To the best of my knowledge, no special license is necessary.

While nothing special is needed to create or run a MenuScript, what you're doing is executing some other application and depending on what that might be, you may need a license for that.
