Unable to start NX AM Cura integration with start script.

When customizing the start of NX with an start script, user added the following variables into the script:

SET CURA_BASE_DIR=

SET CURA_USER_DIR=

SET UG_APP_ADDITIVE_EXTERNAL_PRINTER_PATHS=

But once NX is started and Additive manufacturing application is  selected, there is no Ultimaker printer loaded.

Looking into the syslog file, we found the following entry:

[NX-AM-EI] Failed loading C:\Programs\NX\mach\auxiliary\mfgam\CURA\MYV2EXTERNALPRINTER.dll

The dll is not loaded and Ultimaker printers are not shown.

Solution

The workaround is to set the variables hardcoded, that means setting the variables globally in the OS instead of making the NX script to create them.
