I'm trying to follow the script on the Topic " [Open Template Popup at Mouse Location](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/open-template-popup-at-mouse-location/62678)" but I do not know how to get and import the swing utilities. I appreciate your help. Thanks.

Just use those example scripts. SwingUtilities is part of java's desktop gui, and is always present in Vision.

Show your code.

Wait! Are you trying to use this in Perspective? (You didn't tag your topic with either Perspective or Vision. These examples are Vision-only.)

Im using this on Vision.

param1 = event.source.ScreenJump  
window = system.nav.openWindow('Popup/NAV SCREEN', {'Page' : param1})  
newPoint = SwingUtilities.convertPoint(event.source, event.x, event.y, system.gui.getParentWindow(event).rootContainer)  
window.setLocation(newPoint.x, newPoint.y)

You're not importing SwingUtilities. See [Open Template Popup at Mouse Location - #7 by nminchin](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/open-template-popup-at-mouse-location/62678/7)

You're missing this line at the top of your script:

```python
from javax.swing import SwingUtilities

```
