loosing palettes

loosing palettes

loosing palettes

(OP)
i had a bit of a clean up and deleted a few of my unused old roles and mtx files etc (NX5), now sometimes when i load up i don't have any palettes,and have to re-load them, how can i save the set up to return each time?

RE: loosing palettes

Save new roles, and start to use those I guess. It seems to obvious but from your post I can't tell why it wouldn't work.

RE: loosing palettes

(OP)
I've saved new roles, and also ticked & un-ticked the save on exit.
every time i log off when i come back in, i have no pallettes again. Any ideas??

RE: loosing palettes

First off, Roles have no control over Palettes.

Second, when you say NO Palettes, I assume you mean no 'user defined' palettes, correct?  The system generated palettes, like History, System Materials, Roles, etc., they're still there, correct?

When you create a User Defined palette the information needed to define it is stored in the registry.

Now there are a couple of things that could be causing this problem.  First the data is not getting saved when you end your NX session, which could be because somehow you're no longer allowed to write to the registry.  That should be easy to check.

The second is that the system is not reading the registry data properly.  Not really sure how you could check that, but you may need to delete the existing entries for your version of NX and start over.  You will need to use the 'regedit.exe' utility to do that (look for the 'Unigraphics Solutions' folder).

RE: loosing palettes

think i may have solved it, Yes John, the std pallettes were still there.
When i re-created the role before, i did it in the roles pallette, Yesterday i created a new role with the "customise" (toolbars) box, and that seems to work so far... If it happens again I'll investigate your suggestion...Thanks
