How to automatically convert all NX CAM operations to new Explorer Style dialog boxes

How to automatically convert all NX CAM operations to new Explorer Style dialog boxes

Today I would like to demonstrate how you can easily start using new dialog boxes of CAM objects in NX.

The problem is that we don’t want to do this manually for all operations in our old projects, but we would like to get it automatically.
I have solution for that, I prepared simple journal file which will do this for you.
If you converted your template files to Explorer style, you can use this journal.

Notice that I haven’t tested this journal more than with this single CAM project, so if there will be some problems with it – just let me know and I will fix it.

Use link below to download journal file:

Download ResetCamOpDialogFromTemplate.cs journal
