NX5: Customer default file not being read...
(OP)
NX5.00.25 ...Windows ...no customization at all.
Default install.
Seems to run fine, EXCEPT that any changes via <File> <Utilities> <Customer Defaults> is not picked picked up at the next launch of NX. However, the changes are listed correctly when you go back via the above....
Ideas? Suggestions? ...Solution?
Winner gets a shiny new star! Let's see if anyone can beat JRB to the punch!

What settings in particular are you having trouble with, or is it a problem with everything you change?

Using 'user' level... not sure if the defaults are locked; how do I check? If I need write permissions, tis no problem to get em since I'm supposed to be the big dog around here (scary thought, I know....)

Bearing in mind I essentially haven't a clue as to what the hell I'm doing and/or looking at... I set the user env variable to "C:\Documents and Settings\thompsmw\Local Settings\Application Data\Unigraphics Solutions\NX5"
Does this sound correct? Be there a better/different directory I should be pointing to? ...this seems to have fixed the problem btw, and now I'm curious as to why NX5 and NX3 is behaving differently in this manner....

Maybe it's time to give GTAC a call. They were a big help to me when I set up our site controls.
RE: NX5: Customer default file not being read...
Also what kind of user is making these changes? Administrator, Power, Restricted? Have you tried logging elevating this users rights, saving the defaults and reloading?
