NX Named reference for JT dataset for jt created by NX is always MODEL$.jt

How to control the JT file name being output from NX which is stored in the DirectModel dataset named references?


Currently the named reference for JT dataset for jt created by NX is always MODEL$.jt

Solution

Use the following steps to control the JT filename inside of named references of the DirectModel dataset:


(1) Make sure the following environment variable is being used by the managed mode NX session: 

UGII_GENERATE_MULTI_CAD_JT=1 

Note: Without the above variable, the following setup will not yield the proper result.


(2) In the tessUG.config file (generally in this location: UGII_BASE_DIR\PVTRANS folder), make modification to the following three options to yield a different JT naming result:


configureFileName


*This option is applicable only when your NX data is managed inside Teamcenter and you want to store the JT files back inside Teamcenter OR save outside of Teamcenter. 

* This option affects the JT file name produced on disk or saved inside Teamcenter 

* This option works depending on the value of other 2 options: appendRevision and appendItemName. 

* The following example shows the effect of this option. In this example, Item ID = 002468, Item Revision = A, Item Name=COMP. Take a look at the effect on the JT file name with different values of this options. 


Option 1 - 002468_A_COMP.jt 
configureFileName = true 
appendRevision = true 
appendItemName = true


Option 2 - 002468_COMP.jt 
configureFileName = true 
appendRevision = false 
appendItemName = true


Option 3 - 002468_A.jt 
configureFileName = true 
appendRevision = true 
appendItemName = false


Option 4 - MODEL$.jt 
configureFileName = false 
appendRevision = true 
appendItemName = true


For NX 11.0.0 +, this switch is required at the end of tessUG.config file:


appendTCIdentifiers = "UNIQUE_ITEM_IDENTIFIERS"

Notes and References

For NX 11.0.0 +, this switch is required at the end of tessUG.config file:


appendTCIdentifiers = "UNIQUE_ITEM_IDENTIFIERS"
