DEFAULT LAYER CATEGORIES
DEFAULT LAYER CATEGORIES
(OP)
Where are the dafault layer categories stored for NX5? I would like to edit this so every part created has the same layer categories.

RE: DEFAULT LAYER CATEGORIES
Now as an alternative, particularly if you already have a bunch of existing part files that you wish to define a bunch of Layer Categories in, is to open a new but empty part file, define all of the Layer Categories that you wish to assign to other part files and save this sort of 'pseudo-template' file. Now open the file which you wish to add your 'pre-defined' Categories to and go to...
File -> Import -> Part...
...and accept the defaults and when asked select the 'pseudo-template' file (which you just created and saved) and hit OK. Now the Layer Categories 'stored' in the 'pseudo-template' file have been copied over and assigned to your current active part file.
