NX for Manufacturing

Summary


Details

One user is not getting the proper list of custom CAM templates when opening an existing setup.

Solution

Saving a custom Role from within Manufacturing will also save the current CAM configuration, such as "cam_general.dat" or "mill_multi-axis". This setting will override the environment variable "UGII_CAM_CONFIG" that is intended to provide a default cam configuration, which is how one specific user would see a different CAM configuration than what the standard NX environment should be giving him.

To remove this specification you must edit your custom role file and remove the ApplicationData section for the manufacturing application. The roles are typically stored as part of the local NX user profile as an .mtx file, e.g.

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Siemens\NX2212\roles\nx_role0.mtx

<ApplicationData>

      <Application name="UG_APP_MANUFACTURING">

            <NativeConfiguration value="mill_multi-axis.dat"/>

      </Application>

</ApplicationData>
