Overview of Programmer's Guide

The NX Open Programmer's Guide is an introduction to the NX Open API toolkits — it does NOT provide complete API definitions (those live in the NX Open Reference help per language, e.g. "NX Open for Java Reference Guide" / the C++/.NET/Python equivalents). This guide only covers how NX Open works with other automation tools (Knowledge Fusion, UI Styler) — their own user docs are in the "Automation" section of the NX Help Library.

Practical implication for spine-panel-kit: this guide is orientation/concepts only. For exact NXOpen::ResourceBarManager, NXOpen.BlockStyler.Tree, etc. method signatures, the authoritative source is the per-language NX Open Reference guide, not this Programmer's Guide.
