In integrated NX2306 mechanical routed system designer, when trying to insert a new line path, it gives an error saying item ID is invalid.

The syslog says it's trying to create a new part with a TC ID starting with "rts" and item type "<company> Tool Library." Both of these are not what we want.

How do we change what TC ID it tries to save the new line path part as?

Solution

Update the

  • nxdm_ugs_routing_templates.pax
    • Stock parts
    • nxdm_ugs_route_templates.pax
      • Routing assembly parts

       Change the <ItemType>Item</ItemType>  field to the item type you want to use for route assemblies or stock parts.  Must be the actual name of the item/part type, not the display name.
