Dialog Memory

Standard NX behavior is for all dialogs to remember the last values entered by the user and to initialize a dialog with those values when the dialog is used again. The only exception is if the dialog is being used to edit an existing NX object. In the case of an edit, the values used to create the object should be used to initialize the dialog values.

For Block Dialogs, dialog memory is automatically maintained and enforced by NX. The following sections (see Dialog Values) describe when dialog memory values are set and when the memory values are used to initialize the current dialog values.

When a dialog is launched in edit mode, it is the NX Open programmer's responsibility to obtain the values from the object being edited and then use those values to establish the current dialog values.
