turning off "assign material" option when opening .JT's in NX7
turning off "assign material" option when opening .JT's in NX7
(OP)
Hi everyone,
Does anyone know where the toggle is (I'm assuming there is one?) to turn off the option to assign material to a .JT file? when opening large assy's, it takes a long time to accept the generic material that NX selects as a replacement.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

I am working in Teamcenter. When I open a .JT assy, it promts me (during the load process) to assign a material in the "Part Material Selection" pop-up dialog.
The .JT's were created from Ideas, so I'm assuming that NX is looking to subsitute material descriptions that are not available in its library?
I've uploaded a screen shot of the dialog.
thanks!

Thanks for you quick replies. I will investigate the TCe avenue (although I'm sure the IT guys have those options "hidden" for the users to toggle).
