Summary


Details

In Customer Defaults-Gateway-General, tab "Directories", in the "Part File Directory" --> Windows, 
fill in a specific folder.
Is it possible to set that value to any initial folder at NX start ?

Solution

Create a new variable, e.g. UGII_FILE_OPEN_DIR and add it to a "Start_NXnn.bat" file, 
pointing to an existing folder :


 set UGII_FILE_OPEN_DIR=L:\MyParts\NX-Parts\


In Customer Defaults-Gateway-General, tab "Directories", in the "Part File 
Directory" --> Windows, fill in " %UGII_FILE_OPEN_DIR% " (without the quotes).


When now starting NX and go to File-Open (or File-New), it's set to :


 L:\MyParts\NX-Parts\


By setting this variable in different start scripts, you can define each time 


where NX should start looking for parts.
