Without starting an interactive session of NX, is there a way to use command line utility to create NX UGMaster data from JT DirectModel dataset in Teamcenter environment?
Use this tool "part_utility.exe" located in NXBIN directory, it will generate an UGMaster dataset under the Item Revision. These are the basic required switches to run with this tool:
C:\apps\PLM\Tc14\tcroot\tc_menu>C:\apps\CAD\NX2306\NXBIN\part_utility.exe -managed_mode=yes -u=infodba -p=infodba -g=dba -part=@DB/Item_ID/Revision_ID -structure_sync=from_teamcenter -force_structure_sync=yes -y -force_operate -force_read_jt
Prior to running the above command, following must be first configured in both NX and Teamcenter.
In Teamcenter:
Set up following TC Preferences:
Name: TC_NX_Foreign_Datasets
Value: DatasetType="DirectModel" NamedReference="JTPART" NamedReferenceFormat="BINARY" NamedReferenceTemplate="jt"
In NX:
Set up following two Customer Defaults:
Gateway > JT Files > Export : Save JT Data is turned ON
Teamcenter Integration > General > Parts without NX Datasets: Parts with JT Dataset / Add NX Datasets = On Save
