Hey Guys,

So Im extremely new and I need to create some items based off information in a few tabular notes. It has informations like assemblies and mateterial and sterilzation info. I want to write something that will cycle through the information but I wanted to do it in C++. I ahve seen a way to do it in .NET but I cant seem to find any information in the documentatiojn on how to access tables with C++. Any ideas?

Best wishes,

My C++ is pretty rusty and I don't currently have a C++ compiler installed; but it is my understanding that the process will be very similar to the code shown in the following thread:
http://nxjournaling.com/content/exporting-tabular-note-row

In this case, the .CycleObjsInPart method is really just a wrapped C++ function call (UF_OBJ_cycle_objs_in_part), not something specific to .net. Any .net code that makes use of the "UfSession" object can easily be traced back to the equivalent C++ function; in the .net API reference index, type in the method name (i.e. "CycleObjsInPart") the help page will have a link to the C documentation of the function.

Thank you! I found that a little while back, it is .net like you say right? Im currently trying to get the .net API to work on my pc. For some reason it just wont load up the information. Is there another source for it that you know of that I could view on the web rather than the downloaded file?

The .net reference is a "compiled help" file (.chm); unfortunately, due to some security flaws in the design of the .chm format, MS no longer allows you to view these file types over a network. You must download the file to your local computer to view them. If you have a Siemens community sign-in, you can download the NX10 version here:

If the file won't load, you might want to do a websearch to see if there are any settings that you need to adjust to allow your version of Windows to open the files.
