Summary


Details

NX12.0.1 has the ability to export multi-cad assemblies using 'File-->Export Assembly Outside Teamcenter', where components can be JT files (*.jt).


When the exported multi-cad assembly is opened in native NX, the assembly is not automatically loading the *.jt files into NX and opening them as components. NX is looking to open JT *.prt files for all components. Here is an example of the message received: 
=============================== 
Open 
Warnings while opening C:\temp\assembly1_A.prt. 
The following warnings were issues while loading. 
part3_jt_A_f_part3_jt-A_JT.prt - Failed to find file using current search 
options, part left unloaded 
<<OK>> 
===============================


How can a multi-cad assembly with component *.jt files be opened in native NX?



Solution

Set the following two environment variables in the native NX environment where the multi-cad assembly is being opened:


UGII_ENABLE_NATIVE_MULTICAD=1 
UGII_CREATE_JT_BASE_PARTS=yes


With both of these environment variables set in that native NX environment, the assembly will open in native NX and automatically open the component *.jt files too.
