    Unhandled operating system exception : c0000005 error while opening NX 7.5

I'm thinking about adding it to my start NX batch file but not sure what kinds of other problems that would create. echo off REG QUERY "HKCU\Software\Unigraphics solutions\NX\7.5" /f "General" | find "General" >nul if %errorlevel% equ 0...

    NX9

    I agree with Ronald. I change the settings in all my applications so the backgrounds are like a pale tan. With the normal white background it feels like my eyes are burning, same thing happens if I try to read off of pure white paper in midday sun.

    Put the following line after each line where you changed the part number and change the text4 number to match. MsgBox(" text4(0) =" & text4(0)) This will put up a message on your screen displaying what it is trying to change the text to. Make sure it matches what you would have entered.

    In place of •text8(0) = "<X0.3@""currentFile""::Sheet_Metal_Bend_Radius>" Put •text8(0) = "<X0.3@""" & currentFile & """::Sheet_Metal_Bend_Radius>" and in the example you sent me there was an underscore before the rev so change currentFile = currentFile & "/" & strRevision to...

    Expression Linking - journal help

    The name I spoke of is more of an object id than a name. Every entity in NX has an object id. If you select from the main menu information... object and select a note or any entity for that matter at the bottom of the information window you will see Note - ID and a set of numbers. If you use the...

    When you say "it fails to modify the desired text" does the journal run or does it error complaining about line 24 or some other line #? I'm guessing it errors (unless the files were created from the same part file) or picks the wrong note because the journal you recorded is just looking for an...
