Summary


Details

A multi-cad assembly was exported from Teamcenter using 'Export Assembly Outside Teamcenter'. All the component .prt and component .jt files were successfully exported. However, when this assembly is opened in Native NX, the assembly is not automatically finding and opening the JT files.
A message is received:
===============================
The following warnings were issued while loading.
multicad1_A_f_multicad1_A_jt.prt - Failed to find file using current search options, part left unloaded
===============================



Solution

By default, NX is going to look for .prt files (not .jt files). So you probably get the above message that it can't find the .prt file. In order to have native NX find and automatically load the .jt files, the following two environment variables have to be set:
UGII_ENABLE_NATIVE_MULTICAD=1
UGII_CREATE_JT_BASE_PARTS=yes

Once these environment variables are set and NX is re-started, the assembly should open and automatically find the JT component .jt files and load them with the rest of the components in the assembly.
