Summary


Details

Can you set a default value for the fixture offset field when inserting new MCS geometry?  In nearly every case, they use a single fixture offset of G54 and it would be convenient to have this preset.



Solution

Yes. This is a normal dialog default just like any other manufacturing parameter in the template. 
 
 - Edit the mill_planar.prt template part file (or whatever template part files are being used to retrieve geometry objects). 
 - Switch to the Geometry view of the operation navigator. 
 - Edit the MCS objects there so the fixture offset field contains the desired number. 
 - Save the file. 
 - Restart NX to re-read the configuration and templates.
