Getting Started

Launching Capture NX 2

In the Windows operating system, Capture NX 2 can be opened by navigating to the start menu, selecting the programs menu, rolling over the Capture NX 2 menu item, and selecting Capture NX 2.

In the Macintosh operating system, double-click on the Macintosh HD icon on your desktop and navigate to the “Applications” folder. Double-click on the Capture NX 2 folder, and then double-click on the Capture NX 2 application icon.

Convert Capture NX Version 1 Labels

If you labeled images on your computer using Capture NX version 1, Capture NX 2 provides you with the opportunity to convert those labels to the system used by Capture NX 2 and ViewNX. When Capture NX 2 is launched, it will check for any existing Capture NX version 1 labels stored on your

system. If Capture NX version 1 labels are found, the Convert Labels dialog is displayed.

Click on Yes to begin converting the labels used by Capture NX version 1 into labels compatible with

Capture NX 2 and ViewNX. Selecting this option will not remove the labels from your system and images labeled by Capture NX version 1 will continue to be accessible within Capture NX version 1.

A Please note: If you have many images labeled by Capture NX version 1, this process may take some time.

Click on No to prevent Capture NX 2 from converting your labels. If you do not wish to see the Convert Labels dialog the next time Capture NX 2 is launched, check the Don’t Show Again checkbox.
