Plotting - NX3 vs NX6
Plotting - NX3 vs NX6
(OP)
I'm currently using NX6, but have never updated our plotting since NX3. Everything has been working fine.
Now, we've just had a new plotter (Canon) and it's not an option with the NX3 models. Looking in the NXPLOT folder for NX6, I see there are updated 'model' files available, and the latest Canon is listed.
However, I see there are now 3 files ... models, models_imperial and models_metric. For NX3, there was only 'models'.
Do I just copy the 3 files into the UGII_SDI_SERVER_CFG_DIR folder ? Or, is there something else I need to do ?
Looking in the NXPLOT folder for NX7.5 (which I guess I should use, as that's the latest), there is no models file, only models_imperial and models_metric. Is that correct ?
Any help would be appreciated,

Yes, I did delete the contents of the folder (zipped first) and then used NX7.5 to recreate them. That all looks good.
However, copying in the NX3 files that define the printers is causing me issues. Either the SDI software throws an error, or I lose some of the models that came with NX7.5.
Recreating the printers is an option, but not one I'd like to attempt.
