Summary


Details

Customer would like to edit the Library Class Selection dialog to only show users the specific templates in use at the site.  This selection is prompted when a model has been opened in NX and the user navigates to Application; Manufacturing to begin programming the part.  What is the correct file to edit to remove these?


Solution

To remove or edit what is displayed by default on that dialog, edit the template_part_planner.def file.  In a standard installation, this file is found on the O/S (not in Teamcenter) in the folder.

...\MACH\resource\template_dir\

However, this location can vary in a customized environment.  Please check the folder specified by the UGII_CAM_LIBRARY_TEMPLATE_DIR environment variable of the managed NX session log file to get the exact location holding the active template_part_planner.dat file.

Note that the template_part_planner.def file works hand in hand with the template_part_planner.dat file that lives in Teamcenter as a named reference of the UGCAMTemplateData dataset:


The template_part_planner.def file parses and displays the library setup classes on this dialog.  The template_part_planner.dat file defines the actual setup and operation template files within those classes.
