RE: How to have all menus expanded by default ?
The system provides typical and advance roles as system saved settings. I'm not sure whether you can change or add to those in the roles tab so that changing between versions of preferences that you've pre-defined yourself as saved role files can more quickly and easily be used.

RE: How to have all menus expanded by default ?
1°) I already tried with roles but the menus remain folded
Even It could work, It's time consuming to create all NX features with menus expanded
2°) The variable UGII_NO_FOLDED_MENUS doesn't work

you could also try the NX way, right mouse button click on the menu bar, go to Customize. Choose the Options tab, then on top there's a check box which stated "Always Show Full Menus". If you got the "Save roles on save" option enabled it should be permanent. Applecable for each user seperate.

Thanks for your contribution, but you are wrong because this tab is only for the main menu: File, Edit, View...
By this way, I found that the variable UGII_NO_FOLDED_MENUS grayed out this tab !!!

Are you talking about the dialog boxes for feature creation?

We may earlier have misread the intent of your question.

Sorry for the mistake maybe. But I talked about the expanded groups in the dialog boxes.
Have a look at the given jpeg file.

And please, don't ask us to add such an option as it will not be considered.
In fact, we are constantly being asked to make dialogs smaller and more compact, not larger. The use of closed or and even hidden sections of dialogs is our attempt at allowing users to 'customize' the amount of content which is exposed as it's unreasonable to expect that ANY single user, or for that matter, even any one company to need to have full access to ALL dialog options of EVERY dialog in NX. There are literally thousands of dialog options and settings across the width and breadth of NX and to think that there is something to be gained by seeing them all on demand is, in all honesty, hard to fathom.

If they aren't staying as you left them from one session to the next then something is wrong.

I agree with you, and my customer doesn't want to ask you to add this option.
We know the switch "Dialog Memory active between sessions" and it works but It save also the numeric value.
It was just a question.

In fact my customer have a request more useful. He would like to have all group list (like primary curve and cross curve for through curve mesh) expanded by default when editing a feature.

I suspect that your users are failing to appreciate the fact that many dialogs have so many options and settings that it's both impractical and often unneeded to have ALL of the dialog sections open at any one time. For example, most all of the Surface function have a 'Preview' and a 'Settings' section, yet user will very rarely ever need to change any of the options or settings found in those 2 sections, so why would someone want them to 'automatically open' whenever they edited a surface?

Here is an example:
Create a part then create a through curve mesh
Open this part on another station
Try to edit the through curve mesh
You should agree that the dialog could be collapsed
So, we need the list group to be opened automatically (have a look at the given jpeg file)
