How to define default sheet metal material from a material list?
Solution
There is no direct setting available in customer defaults. Hence the user has to set it for every part.
However if you have customized template part, you can have the preference settings saved in the part.
For e.g. If you open sheet-metal-mm-template.prt from NX installed folder\UGII\templates and set the preference and save the part, then the settings will be reflected when you open the Sheetmetal template from File->New every time.
