Currently on placement at MayaHTT having never touched NX and as a result, never touched NXOpen.
If you're unclear NX is the program we do modelling on etc. NXOpen is the API to that program.
- Siemens Community NX Customization and Programming: Don't neglect this site, it is active and a lot of the time your issue has already been raised and solved here.
- Eng-Tips NX Forum: If you can ignore the hideous website design, there are some very knowledgeable people on here.
- NXJournaling: Primarily Visual Basic code. Answers will almost always be an NX Journal response to a question.
- Python docs: You should view this as a sort of "new" version of the docs. Often, you will find lazy docs and it will be a link to the old version of the docs.
- .NET docs: Essentially the "old" docs but here will generally have a more thorough explanation of a function or class.
- Siemens Doc Center: Personally, I've never used it but if some function has mysteriously gone missing - this will show you what happened to it.
- Journaling: If you know how to do something in NX but not in code. Record a journal and extract the features you need.
- UF Session: Holds useful information on objects such as finding face normals, vectors etc
Feeling like an eager beaver? Jump in to the quick start docs and get making your first request:
{% content-ref url="quick-start.md" %} quick-start.md {% endcontent-ref %}
Dive a little deeper and start exploring our API reference to get an idea of everything that's possible with the API:
{% content-ref url="reference/api-reference/" %} api-reference {% endcontent-ref %}
