Part files from NX10 will open fine in Gateway or Modeling, but then NX issues an error when trying to switch to the Manufacturing application. The software crashes out to Gateway. The same happens when creating a new part file in NX12 and trying to switch to the Manufacturing application.
Solution
Check the NX syslog file for details on the error conditions. In this case, the log file records:
APP_EXITED_APPLICATION_ENVIRONMENT_CALLBACK_ID UG_APP_GATEWAY.

A check of the named cam_general.dat configuration file shows that it does contain a line item entry named "FEATURE_RECOGNITION." Removing this line from the configuration file satisfies the NX12 launch criteria and the session can be changed to the Manufacturing application without error.
