UG ZIP Is not working
UG ZIP Is not working
(OP)
NX 6.0.2.8
XP Professional
I had installed the UP Zip utility some time ago and was able to integrate it into the NX menu system. I assume it was working at that time but I haven't used it for quite a while.
When I recently tried to run it I was unsucessful in getting the UP Zip dialog box to execute the utility. There is not much to enter in it and after typing in the assembly part number it does not progress to the point where the "OK" button becomes available to execute the utility.
I've tried clicking on the assembly rather than entering it's number. I've tried picking it from the assembly navigator. I have tried to browse to the assembly using the "..." button to the right of the entry field for the part number however when ever I click on either browse buttons in the dialog box, the dialog box closes.
I'm I missing something obvious here? I've downloaded the the utility again and reinstalled it with the same results.
Has anyone experienced the same problem?
Thanks,

RE: UG ZIP Is not working
I wanted to use the UP Zip untility to copy an assemby from a directory with many non-related parts to another directory that's a more appropriate location. I know I can copy and paste in windows explorer but I was hoping to avoid the tedious process of doing so manually.
I also have read about the ugpc ulility and thought I could pipe its output to the copy command and very simply and easily accomplish my goal at the command line prompt. Something like:
ugpc 1234.prt | copy c:\newdir
I haven't been able to crack that nut yet. I'm guessing that my syntax is off and that the output from the ugpc has to be formated differently. Maybe it should be ugpc -a ....
Any insight anyone may be able to provide would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Assemblies -> Cloning -> Create Clone assembly...
RE: UG ZIP Is not working
I did try this and added a prefix to all the parts names but when it came time to clone the second time to change the names back I could not find a way to remove the prefix.
I had expected that I could replace the prefix with nothing and strip it back off. Unfortunately the replace function requires an entry. It will not run without an entry in that field. I tried typing in the ascii code for a null character but that did not work. So I am back to where I started.

This works well and there is no need to clone twice.
Thanks all,
