Plotting from UG NX on Windows 7
Plotting from UG NX on Windows 7
(OP)
Am I the only goober who can't get UG NX to plot on Windows 7? I have an HP430. I can plot to it with Adobe and E-Drawings, but not NX. It goes thru all the motions, but the job never leaves the "queued jobs". Here is the log file.

I don't know enough to tell if this is correct or not.
Thanks

RE: Plotting from UG NX on Windows 7
On 64bit systems (Vista & Win 7), the two variables UGII_SDI_BPS_JOBS_DIR & UGII_SDI_OVERRIDE_HOME need to be set.
When they are unspecified they are created in the users profile, but Win 7 & Vista works their permissions differently from WinXP.
Creating those two variables & then pointing them to look at a folder, (c:\temp is the example I would follow) fixes the problem.
Simplest way to create the variables is:
Windows Control Panel -> System -> Advanced (TAB) -> Environment Variables (button)
Add a system variable and then enter the variable name & variable value
