User is trying to launch an NX manufacturing tutorial. The html document pops
up correctly, but the system opens a new NX session with no parts in it rather
than opening the parts for the tutorial in the current NX session.
Solution
This is because the .pax file type for the tutorials has been associated with
the main NX program. These should be associated to the "NX Component"
program. This is a windows setting, not NX. To resolve this:
- Shut down all NX sessions.
- Go into:
Control Panel
Programs
Make a file type always open in a specific program
- Find the .pax file type in the list and select it.
- Pick the Change Program button.
- Expand the 'Other Programs' section of the dialog.
- Pick the "NX Component" program from the list.
Note: You will have to have administrator permissions on the computer to see
this program in the list of available choices.
- Restart NX and verify that the tutorials function correctly.
