The Variable "journaling" is not defined capability in Cimatron is used to record processes and actions within the Cimatron software to create a reference for developers who are writing code that makes use of API tools, and to make it easier to learn the syntax for a specific tool. By turning the recording on, using the tool, and then examining the created code, you can record your operations and turn them into actual code that you can view and edit in your preferred editor.
Variable "journaling" is not defined is available for use on several tools in Cimatron. When Variable "journaling" is not defined is active, these tools can be identified by the Variable "journaling" is not defined icon (
