Bring NX templates into Teamcenter

Bring NX templates into Teamcenter

Bring NX templates into Teamcenter

(OP)
Stumped! I have created numerous drawing and sheet templates using NX5 "native".  How do I import these templates into the Teamcenter environment? I don't want to have to create them all over again! (login: infodba)

For example:
You can upload the original files with the %UGII_ROOT_DIR%\templates\sample\tcin_template_setup -u=infodba -p=***** -g=dba command line utility from the %UGII_ROOT_DIR%\templates to the NX Templates folder into Teamcenter.
This utility will use the nxdm_*******.pax files.
By default the users create own files into the \templates folder and modify the ugs_***.pax files.
You can modify the nxdm_***.pax files with your own files nodes and then can use the above utility.

Thanks, Dutra. Next question: If I already have created some templates in Teamcenter (NX Templates folder), how do I revise Teamcenter's nxdm_ugs_*****_templates.pax files without uploading templates as you've described? For example, do I import the file from my computer's ROOT_DIR%\templates directory into Teamcenter? (The nxdm***** files control the template palettes on the left, yes?)

RE: Bring NX templates into Teamcenter

Perhaps, you would like to do the following:
Login to TC portal as infodba. Select the NX Templates folder, and add a new item into it. The item get the next id, for example 000112. You know the item revision does not have any dataset now. Select the 000112/A revision and add a UGMASTER dataset to it. When you add the UGMASTER dataset you can import the your prt file from the %ROOT_DIR%\templates.
Then you can modify the nxdm_****.pax file to add the following section:
  <PaletteEntry id="d*****">
    <References/>
    <Presentation name="Own template" description="NX Example with datum CSYS">
        <PreviewImage type="UGPart" location="@DB/000112/A"/>
    </Presentation>
    <ObjectData class="ModelTemplate">
        <Filename>@DB/000112/A</Filename>
    <Units>Metric</Units>
        <ItemType>Item</ItemType>
        <RelationType>master</RelationType>
    </ObjectData>
  </PaletteEntry>

Dutra1000, your latest tip was the most helpful I've received yet. Your instructions work perfectly.  Thanks!
