Grip: 3 periods added to front of output files... why?
Grip: 3 periods added to front of output files... why?
(OP)
NX6.0.3.6 on Windows XP (32 and 64 bit machines)
Here's a new one... existing grip routines that have run fine previously are now having 3 periods added to the front of the output file names. We now have to manually remove the dots from the output file names when finished.
Subroutines that depend on output generated fine as well; grip seems to expect the dots in the file name so the routines continue ok... but the dots remain. The biggest issue is that other type programs (non-grip) depend on grip output... these programs don't expect the dots so they fail.
I suspect an env variable of somesort... but that's just a WAG. Has anyone encountered this or something similar?
AFAIK, there have been no changes to our NX environment that has coincided with this issue. Any help would be appreciated!

I've gotten new machines for my guys recently (last couple of months), and when setting them up the env variable on each machine was set wrong by the IT guys.
Is there a way to give myself a star? :P

As far as the version of NX that they still run as expected; Since I've upgraded several machines lately, I decided not to load any version prior to NX 6 and didn't think to check machines that weren't replaced.
