There are currently three NX Wizards that have been integrated into Visual Studio and available for use with
11、 the Common API. They are: NX Open Wizard for use with C and C+ programs (found under the VC directory) NX Open VB Wizard for Visual Basic programs (found under the VB directory) NX Open C# Wizard for C# programs (found under the VC# directory)If Visual Studio has been installed on a workstation and
12、 then NX is installed locally (on the same workstation), the available NX Wizards will be installed automatically. Otherwise the following steps need to be taken to set up each of the NX Wizards on the local workstation.Make sure the appropriate version Microsoft Visual Studio has been installed Cop
