NX Postprocess Dialog and template_post.dat

Summary


Details

The Postprocess dialog box does not contain all the postprocessors listed in the template_post.dat file.





Solution

The filename extensions referenced in the template_post.dat must be lowercase.

The extensions must appear as seen in the example below...
MEGAPOST,${UGII_CAM_POST_DIR}MEGAPOST.tcl,${UGII_CAM_POST_DIR}MEGAPOST.def

If the extensions are capitalized, the listing will not appear in the Postprocess dialog box.
MEGAPOST,${UGII_CAM_POST_DIR}MEGAPOST.TCL,${UGII_CAM_POST_DIR}MEGAPOST.DEF
The "MEGAPOST" listing does not appear in the dialog box above.

The reason for the failure is due to the capitalization of the file extensions (see sample line below).

MEGAPOST,${UGII_CAM_POST_DIR}MEGAPOST.TCL,${UGII_CAM_POST_DIR}MEGAPOST.DEF

The "MEGAPOST" listing appears when the file extensions are in lower case.

See the corrected sample line below:

MEGAPOST,${UGII_CAM_POST_DIR}MEGAPOST.tcl,${UGII_CAM_POST_DIR}MEGAPOST.def
