Summary


Details

In the Part Navigator under Model History, the features are listed with the following format: 
<feature symbol>System_Feature_Name(1) "User_Name" 
How can this format be modified? 



Solution

In the current session of NX:
1. In the Part Navigator, hover the cursor over the 'Name' column, 'MB3-->Properties'.
2. On the Part Navigator Properties dialog, select the 'General' tab.
3. Toggle the desired value for 'Name Display'.
* System and User - If a user name was given to the feature, both the system and user name are displayed. Format: <feature_symbol> Feature_System_Name(1) "User_Name" 
* System Only - If a user name was given for a feature, it will not be displayed and only the system name of the feature will be displayed. 
Format: <feature_symbol> Feature_System_Name(1)
*User Replaces System - If a user name was given to a feature, it will be used instead of the system name of the feature. 
Format: <feature_symbol> "User_Name"
4. OK the Part Navigator Properties dialog.
This should stay the setting in the current session of NX. 

To make the setting the default for future sessions of NX:
1. Select 'File-->Utilities-->Customer Defaults'.
2. Expand 'Gateway' and highlight 'Part Navigator'.
3. Set the 'Name Display' to the desired setting.
4. OK the Customer Defaults dialog.
5. Re-start NX for the change to take effect.
