Custom User Defined Features w/ In House Network Access?
Custom User Defined Features w/ In House Network Access?
(OP)
We are running UG/NX3 native on Dell Precision 490 PCs.
I have created a set of countersunk threaded holes for use with NAS1130 helical inserts as user defined features. Each UDF consists of countersunk hole and a threaded feature. These were saved using the UDF Wizard and each was created successfully. I can access these UDFs by Tools/User Defined Feature/Insert... and they appear in the "No Library".
My question is how do I make these UDFs accessible to other users on our network? I have located the CGM and UG files in C:\Program Files\UGS\NX 3.0\UGII

2) Setup a network shared drive location for the files and then modify the NX configuration to point to the shared location.

Secondly, are the only files that need to be copied to and exist in this new directory the CGM and UG files that were created thru the UDF Wizard?
Thanks again for your input.

# Native Unigraphics user defined feature environment variables that optionally can be set
are:
# UGII_UDF_DEFINITION_FILE is a file that determines your hierarchical library structure.
# A sample definition file is located at $UGII_ROOT_DIR\udf\dbc_udf_ascii.def and
# we recommend its use.
# UGII_UDF_DATABASE_FILE defines the location of your user defined features.
# A sample database file is located at $UGII_ROOT_DIR\udf_database.txt
# UGII_UDF_LIBRARY_DIR, used in sample UGII_UDF_DEFINITION_FILE, defines the full path of
your user
# defined features directory so that a relative path can be defined in the database file for cgm
# and part locations. It has an old version UDF_LIBRARY_DIR.
# UGII_UDF_EVENT_FILE is the TCL file that accesses the database files. We do not recommend
# changing this file that is located at $UGII_ROOT_DIR\udf\dbc_udf_ugmgr.tcl
Is all I have to do is remove the # and space to activate the line and add the new directory path as follows:
UGII_UDF_LIBRARY_DIR=T:\UG Standard Parts\Ingenium User Defined Features\
