Newbie to Unigraphics NX
(OP)
Hope someone can advise me.
My company has transfered all the design work that was carried out using Unigraphics from the US to the UK.
All drawing files were moved from a server within the company to a PC that was transfered along with the software and licence for using Unigraphics.
I have never used this software before and I am having problems with the assembly drawings when trying to open them. It tells me that it cannot find the individual files that make up the assembly and I am assuming that this is because we have moved them from the server.
Is it possible to open the drawing and to tell the assembly drawing the new locations for all the individual parts that goes to make it up.
Any advise would be gratefull.
I know a coarse to help me learn how to use the software would be a good idea but this is not an option for the company at the moment.
Thanks
Ian

RE: Newbie to Unigraphics NX
You will have to change the load option "File->Options->Load options" In the Load Method frame are three options.
As Saved (system is checking according to the above information)
From Directory (system is checking in directory of the assembly)
Search Directory (systemis checking according to defined search path)
To define the search path there is a button simple called "define search directories" You can add several search directories but the top one will be search first then the second and so on. So don´t overdo it so it doesn´t search through all the servers before you get it loaded.

We will try this and let you know how succesfull we have been.

Is there anyway to define a top directory that the system will check all sub-directories to find the various parts without having to add them individually.
Thanks

RE: Newbie to Unigraphics NX
I have my parts scattered in different directories that lie under a main UG directory (K:\UG\GM; K:\UG\Honda, etc.). All I define is "K:\UG..." and my assemblies load just fine.
Hope this makes sense....
