UPDATES- folders what is it for?
Solution
Template updates in maintenance releases (MR)
Previous maintenance releases did not require changes to the provided
templates, and the templates were not updated in these releases. Current
maintenance releases contain significant enhancements that often require
updates to the provided templates. When there are updated templates in a
maintenance release, NX places them in an update folder in the MACH folder
structure. The new Use Latest Updated Templates customer default controls
where NX looks for templates, and is on by default.
When the Use Latest Updated Templates customer default is selected, native NX
looks for templates in the update folder first. If the update folder does
not contain the required template, NX then looks in the folder where the main
release templates are stored. The main release templates are stored in the
location specified by the cam_resource_dir environment variable, and by
default, this location is MACH/resource/template_part.
If you do not customize your templates, you do not need to do anything
differently. Native NX will automatically use the correct templates.
If you use customized templates in native NX:
1. Save them in a different location from the templates provided with the
main release.
2. Modify the cam_resource_dir environment variable to point to their
location.
3. Turn off the Use Latest Updated Templates customer default so that NX
looks for your templates in the correct location.
Tip:
To find a customer default, choose File--> Utilities--> Customer Defaults, and
click Find Default.
