Env. variables and Patterns
Env. variables and Patterns
(OP)
I am a fairly new user of NX3. I have been to the Practical App class and the Drafting App class within the last few weeks, and am attempting to create patterns for our company.
I have all the part files for the Titleblock sizes we use, and I have one (11x17) saved as a pattern. I can even import this pattern as a pattern into a drawing.
I am trying to figure out how to specify the Pattern Directory I have created, but don't know where to find the Environment Variables. I read about 10 other threads on the same "Disappearing patterns" problem, but do not know where to specify this variable. If someone can lead me down the correct path, I'd appreciate it very much!!
Thank you!

Everything should be designed as simple as possible, but not simpler.

Art thou sure you saved WITH pattern data turned on? <File> <Options> <Save Options> <Save Pattern Data...>

CAD should pay for itself, shouldn't it?

Status thus far:
1. Changed the path for pattern dir in the ugii_env.dat file
2. Created a pattern in a pattern directory (to keep them separate)
3. Checked the option to Save Pattern Data Only
Ok, I'm stuck now.

EWH is correct, and I should have explained it a little clearer. Thanks EWH for clearing this up btw...
Anyway, let us know if your still having problems

Patterns are similar to an assembly. If you change the pattern the files that point to the patterns will update when loaded. Exploding this breaks this connection.
