fastener_assembly
(OP)
On presenatation at siemes last year on nx6 I saw the fastener assembly / reuse libary - nice . Now I want to use it with the last machinery libary at a customize environment but the fastener assembly config window is empty - nothing to find in the docs about but how do I get it to work?

RE: fastener_assembly
Also check in your...
C:\Documents and Settings\<user name>\Local Settings\Application Data\Unigraphics Solutions\NX6
...folder to see if there is a file located there by the name of 'FastenerAssemblyCongifuration.krx'. If not then it would appear that there is a problem somewhere since the system will normally create this file automatically the first time you start your NX 6.0 session after installing any of the NX Machinery Libraries.

RE: fastener_assembly
the reuse lib is working on single screws for example. The files are located on c:\ugsshare\NX6\NXParts\Machinery-Library\ installed with the machinery libary tool. The customersdefault on reuselib is custumized - the default setting Standard Parts|$UGII_BASE_DIR/ugii/Reuse Library/Standard Parts is changed to parts|c:\ugsshare\NX6\NXParts\Machinery-Library\. Now when I start the fastener configuration - the dialogs are empty...
I think the default FastenerAssemblyConfiguration.krx HoleFastenerMap.krx ReuseLibraryFasteners.krx is missing and not created by the machinery lib install tool . Is there something special to know / do - to get those three *.krx files?

RE: fastener_assembly
Also have you done a search of your system to see if you can actually find any of those .krx files? Does your configuration include a '\UGII\Reuse Library\Standard Parts' folder? If so, look there for the .krx files.
Also, start a new session of NX and then go to...
Help -> NX Log File
...and when the listing window opens do a text search on...
UGII_MACHINERY_LIBRARY
If you find the entry above, where is it pointing?

RE: fastener_assembly
I started looking for UGII_MACHINERY_LIBRARY in the log file.
I cannot find it , can you explain what this var does -?

RE: fastener_assembly
thats much more what the GTac told me
also thanks on the stack update question.
Problems I still have whats the best way to control the
partfamily children and their save folder.
A problem with the load option(new session) - when one of the children of a fasterner assy is not found the complete stack is left unloaded.
