Custom Templates in NX

To tell NX that you have a different location for you custom templates, set a variable: UGII_TEMPLATE_DIR=<directory of templates>

This needs to be set in your ugii_env.dat file, so that it is consistent with Teamcenter integration and Native NX.

The Template folder for Native and Teamcenter looks for a .pax file.

For Teamcenter pax files: (start with nxdm)

  • nxdm_ugs_drawing_templates.pax
  • nxdm_ugs_model_templates.pax

For Native pax files:

  • ugs_drawing_templates.pax
  • ugs_model_templates.pax

Within each of these pax files points to the name, and location of the files to be used. The Teamcenter files are pointed to Teamcenter Item/IDs with the syntax of @DB\ITEM_ID\REV

Set a variable: UGII_ENV_FILE=<location>\ugii_env.dat to have all your clients using the same configuration. Put this <location> on a share on a server, each seat would have this location mapped as a drive and one variable set to point to this location. Now you have complete control for all seats in your environment.

    how to make previewimage display in preview window in teamcenter by nxdm_ugs_drawing_templates.pax file?

    You want the preview image to show up when you create a new part based on a template? I'm assuming you have all the templates managed in Teamcenter. Try doing a save of the template file in Teamcenter. The pax file will tell you which Teamcenter Item it is using for the template.
