How to start MCD player on a system where NX is fully installed? 
You might not find the MCD payer under the NX program group.

Solution

You can start a regular NX install as MCD player by editing the startup switch in the shortcut. 
Copy an existing shortcut of NX, and change the startup switch from -NX or -mechatronics into: 


 ugraf.exe -mechatronicsplayer 


1.   Copy and Edit existing shortcut:



2.  Edit name (General tab) and target:

When you start via the new shortcut (with ugraf.exe -mechatronicsplayer), then a MCDplayer is started.

Note: Be aware --> MCD Player needs a specific "player" license, and does not work with the normal MCD or NX license.
