Block Styler
A block based dialog is characterized by:
Vertical dialog layout

Collapsible groups
Blocks
Each block on its own line
Groups are collapsible to hide infrequently used commands

Dialog memory to remember values from session to session
Automation support in NX6 to allow custom applications inherit
look, feel and behavior of NX. .NET, C++, Java and KF support.
In built features to improve productivity like selection intent,
selection scope, design logic etc

Block Styler VS UI Styler
Block Styler
UI Styler
In-built selection support including

selection intent, scope and filter
Programmatically add selection support

cannot add selection intent
Design Logic support in appropriate

blocks Linear Dimension, Angular
Dimension
Cannot add design logic
Consistent with NX dialogs - Majority of

NX dialogs redesigned as block based
dialogs
Vertical Layout blocks are in order
corresponding to the flow of command
Suitable for almost any layout

Enables a method to maintain license
contexts for C/C++ (as is already
automatically done for .NET and Java)
Allows feature licenses to be released
automatically when a C/C++ application
is unloaded (as is already done for .NET
and Java)
