Setting the customer defaults for "Import Assembly Into Teamcenter" to use a custom item type is not working.
There is a custom item type named "Gtac Item"; entered this name into Customer Defaults> Teamcenter Integration > Import/Export Assembly > Import tab : Item Type.
Restart NX and launch the Import Assembly Into Teamcenter command; the Item Type value is not picking up from Customer Defaults.
* Reset the dialog did not help*, setting Teamcenter preference "TC_part_types_display_filter" did not help.
Solution
Use BMIDE to find out the "Name" and "Display Name" of that custom item type.
If unable to access BMIDE, use View Properties on an existing item of that custom item type.
The field for Multifield Key Information will list out "object_type=", this is the "Name".
This "Name" should be the string to use in Customer Defaults > Teamcenter Integration > Import/Export Assembly > Import tab : Item Type
In this example case, this custom item type:
Name: g333gtac
Display Name: Gtac Item
The Customer Defaults should use g333gtac
