What drives the GM KBTD toolbar in NX 7.5?
What drives the GM KBTD toolbar in NX 7.5?
(OP)
I am an IT Technician for a company that designs shipping racks and containers for an array of different companies.
Our designers are required to use the GM Toolkit and NX7.5. It is running on a Windows 7 64 bit machine. One designer recently tried using the KBTD toolbar and is getting the error, "Error: Storing Drafting Parameters".
This error comes up on all documents after clicking Start, Modeling, and then Structural Shapes.
Does anyone know where this error could be stemming from? I am getting help from a Siemens support personnel, but not having any success so far.
Things I have tried:
1. Comment out section for UNIX_GLOBAL in the gmlaunch.dat file.
2. Sent the log file to the support personnel.
3. Upgraded from NX7.5.0.32 to NX7.5.2.5 MP3 Rev G
4. Uninstalled NX completely, re-installed base 7.5 and then the updates to 7.5.2.5 MP3 Rev G
None of these steps have made a difference. I have a feeling it has something to do with the gmlaunch5.2.bat file or the gmlaunch.dat file.

I've just tested on Windows 7 64bit and that button works OK.

Any ideas?

in some cases you have to contact the gm staffs you working with to get this input(maybe it not relevant to your task)- tool library, etc. -

Also make sure that there is only the one occurence of the variable in your .dat file.
