How to launch NX with a specific set of Assembly Load Options. 
For example, there could be multiple icons on the desktop, each for launching 
NX with different Assembly Load Options.



Solution

 Set the desired Assembly Load Options and save them to a file (*.def). One 
Assembly Load Options file should be created for each set of Assembly Load 
Options needed. Then create .bat files to launch NX.


Here are the steps: 
NOTE: If running different versions of NX, set UGII_BASE_DIR and UGII_ROOT_DIR 
in the .bat file so it points to the correct version of NX. 
If only one version of NX is installed and the UGII_BASE_DIR and 
UGII_ROOT_DIR are set correctly as environment variables, then there is no need 
to call these in the .bat file.


Create a .bat file that points to the Assembly Load Options settings. 
The .bat file will need the following 4 lines of information: 
set UGII_BASE_DIR=C:\NX85 
set UGII_ROOT_DIR=C:\NX85\ugii 
set UGII_LOAD_OPTIONS=C:\load_options1.def 
call "%UGII_ROOT_DIR%"ugii.bat


Please note, that the values to the above variables are an example. The values 
should point to the correct paths and files in the user environment.


Create a .bat file for each Assembly Load Options file: 
set UGII_BASE_DIR=C:\NX85 
set UGII_ROOT_DIR=C:\NX85\ugii 
set UGII_LOAD_OPTIONS=C:\load_options2.def 
call "%UGII_ROOT_DIR%"ugii.bat


Now create a shortcut on the desktop that points to a .bat file. Create a 
separate shortcut for each .bat file. The shortcuts will launch NX using the 
specified Assembly Load Options file.
