SOFTWARE VERSIONS
===================
TC 10.1.* and higher
NX 10.0.* and higher
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
=====================
We have a component , which has custom unit of measure.
We set TC_NX_Unit_Of_Measure_As_Geometric_List=* to have ability to add
component , which has custom unit of measure as geometric.
When we add such component to an assembly in Teamcenter, and open assembly in
NX, the component is added as non-geometric.
TC_NX_Unit_Of_Measure_As_Geometric_List is ignored.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
====================
- Open TC\Structure Manager app.
- Create structure (assembly) from 2 components: first component has standard unit of measure, second component has custom unit of measure.
- Open assembly in NX.
Can see: first component can be added from "Pending components" and we have a
choice .
But second component is added at once as non-geom.

Solution
Works as designed: TC_NX_Unit_Of_Measure_As_Geometric_List is only NX preference.
I.e. only components, which are created in NX, account this preference.
Documentation of NX12 are updated. TC_NX_Unit_Of_Measure_As_Geometric_List preference description contains the following details:
"This preference is only applicable when you create components in NX. If you create components in Teamcenter, this preference is ignored."
WORKAROUNDS
==============
1) To add a component (which has a custom unit) using NX commands.
2) If we added such component from TC, we can edit component properties in NX:
tun off "non-geometric" checkmark.
