Override template settings with Customer Defaults or EV.
Override template settings with Customer Defaults or EV.
(OP)
Reading previous posts and from experience it seems that the settings you have saved in your drawing template .prt file override what settings you may have in customer defaults. In NX 6, Is there anyway to force the customer defaults to override the template settings?. Or is it possible to have enviornment variables override the template settings?
Bigger picture. We have a couple of different groups in the business and we share common drawing template files. Is there a way to set up something for Group A so that dual dimensions are on, but for Group B they are off?

Preferences -> Drafting -> General
...in the section of the dialog labeled 'Drawing Settings' you can ask that the system use the current Standard as opposed to what was saved in the Drawing Template.

There is an option to use the template file settings or the customer default preferences. I believe the default is to use the template settings, but if the setting was changed by an administrator, it could potentially override the template settings without user intervention.
