How are operation 'Display Settings' stored in NX?
Solution
The settings are stored in each operation the way they were left - so if you edit an existing operation, it will have the settings that were last used in that operation
For defaults in NEW operations being created , the settings are stored in each operation in the template parts
for example , for a 'Floor & Wall' op , you would need to edit the mill_planar.prt (in MACH\resource\template_part\metric)
- Then ( after restarting NX), when you create a new floor wall operation, you'll get those settings.
There is a customer default that specifies which template parts are used ( and so which ones you would need to edit)
Manufacturing - General - 'Use Latest Updated Templates'
- If it is toggled OFF, then template parts under MACH\resource\template_part\metric are used
- If it is toggled ON, then template parts under MACH\updates\template_part\metric are used
(template parts under the 'updates' folder are sometimes updated when maintenance releases are installed - so these will change your settings back to the default)
