Create JT files for all components of an assembly?
Create JT files for all components of an assembly?
(OP)
Hi, We have just "discovered" JT format in NX6. And our old parts does not contain the lightweight reference set. How could we with minimum effort create JT format for a given assy containing sub-assys an parts?
Or is the only solution to open an save every single part with the "Save JT format" option set?

If you go to <Preferences> -> <JT>
Click <Modify Configuration>
You end up with a box that has your JT settings.
If you play with these settings - you might find what you're looking for. Specifically the "Organize JT Files" setting. I think you want it to be set to:
<Assembly and folder of Parts>
Be sure to save your config.
Hope this helps,

There are important differences in this case whether you're inside or outside of teamcentre.
In native if you go to a top assembly and just use File>Export>JT then it will prompt for a filename and location where it outputs a .jt file of the assembly and a directory of the same name. The directory will contain .jt files for all the components.
All of which is great if you want to use the JT viewer, but no good if you want faceted representations (lightweight geometry) saved inside your NX files.

Sorry about the fuzzy question, but what I really wanted to do was to create a faceted rep set in the partfile as you suggest.
And THAT can be forced by the refile_part command in NX6 "Command prompt" environment.
But there are som issues still with drawings and faceted parts.
1. You have to place the view on the drawing using the command: View style, Faceted representetion. This is to make the view show faceted parts. Has to be done when placing the view on the sheet, and can't be removed from view later.
2. And then you have to go to Drafting preferences, View, Load Component, On Faceted View Selection, AND , On Faceted View Update.
Both these has to be done manually

For now? Setting of the prameters manually? Or the need for setting them at all?
This should not have been a case at all. The model, faceted or not, should have been behaving the dame way on the drawing.
Always room for improvement in everything. ;-D
