Customer Defaults NX7.5
Customer Defaults NX7.5
(OP)
Hi
I tried to change some defaults in File>Utilities>CUSTOMER DEFAULTS, but in tab Defaults levels appear "Read Only".
I don´t understand why this shot shown if my workstation has administrator resources.
Someone of you know ow can I get acces?
Thanks a lot for your tips
Tom

Totally different from workstation/OS admin rights.

Thanks for your comment. Few days ago, I change some parameters but today appears this message.

I tell my users that they should reboot at least once a week, if not daily. Also log off at night, not just lock the system with their CAD program still up.

That´s the problem, every day I log off my workstation, and the problem still appearing.

And possibly more importantly, what did you change the last time you had access?

I will call to the PLM support in my country to check this.

Let me comment something:
1) Create a folder in C: call "customer_defaults"
2) Looking for file "ugii_env_ug.dat" in folder UGII [C:program files\Siemens\NX 8.0\UGII]
3) Find UGII_LOCAL_USER_DEFAULTS=
4) Change the text after "=" in both lines "C:\customer_defaults\NX8_user.dpv"
5) Update the file
6) Start NX
Ready! now you can change parameters in:
files>utilities>customer defaults
Best regards

Instead of pointing to a file on the C:\ drive can it be pointing to something on the network that all the users can access ?
RE: Customer Defaults NX7.5
However, if you're going to do that I would set up a 'site' .dpv file for everyone to point to, and leave each user with his only local 'user' .dpv files since these are applied sequentially: when NX is launched it first reads the 'site' file, then the 'group' files and finally the 'user' file, with the 'user' file 'winning' if it has a different setting than either the 'site' or 'group' file shows. If there are any settings which you don't want the users to change/override, you can lock them at the 'site' or 'group' level which the user will see as being grayed-out when he opens Customer Defaults.
To get more information on setting up these various levels of Customer Defaults, go to the Help files and search on "Customer Defaults options". Once you get to this page you will find additional information under the 'How to' and 'Related Topics', where you will find a topic covering 'Levels of customer defaults'.
