How can you remove template entries in the File --> New dialog in native NX?



Solution

 The modeling template files are defined in a file called ugs_model_templates.pax. This xml language file is located in the \ugii\template directory of the NX installation. There are other files as well fo the other template types such as ugs_drawing_templates.pax, ugs_manufacturing_templates.pax, & ugs_cae_templates.pax.


These files can be edited to remove unwanted entries. It is advisable that you either make a backup of the original files prior to editing them or you use the variable UGII_TEMPLATE_DIR to point to your own custom copies.


In the pax files are entries for each template. Each entry is defined between the </PaletteEntry> words:


<PaletteEntry id="d1"> 
 <References/> 
 <Presentation name="Model" description="NX Example with datum CSYS"> 
 <PreviewImage type="UGPart" location="model_template.jpg"/> 
 </Presentation> 
 <ObjectData class="ModelTemplate"> 
 <Filename>model-plain-1-inch-template.prt</Filename> 
 <Units>English</Units> 
 </ObjectData> 
 </PaletteEntry>


Simply remove the unwanted entries and they will not be displayed in the File --> New dialog.
