NX6 Multiple Pathname Change
NX6 Multiple Pathname Change
(OP)
Hi All,
We've recently moved servers at work, which has (unfortunately) meant the server names changing.
We all use the same letter for Mapping Network Drives, (in this case J:).
Now when I open assemblies which I created before the changeover, I cannot load components which are in a different file to the top level assembly. Unfortunately, they all come from different folders on the same server,
E.g.
Previously I would have two files under the path:
\\Original_server\Components\Plates\Plate1.prt
\\Original_server\Components\Washer\Washer1.prt
Now I have
\\New_server\Components\Plates\Plate1.prt
\\New_server\Components\Washer\Washer1.prt
Is there a way to change all pathnames of components to reference "New_server" in place of "Original_Server" whilst maintaining the rest of the filename? Or is it a manual change only? I know there is the 'load from folder' option rather than 'load as saved' - but unfortunately as the parts are filed under many different locations, that's not really that useful...
Thanks in advance for any help!

You can do what you want with the -change_dir switch.
The documentation of this utility (NX 7.5) is on NX Essentials >> Utilities and File Management >> Command Line Utilities >> Change Component Part References in an Assembly

ug_edit_part_names will do the trick for renaming the internal file structures.
