Adding custom templates to New dialog
Adding custom templates to New dialog
(OP)
I have ready several threads on this already but I am having issues getting it to work.
I am trying to get custom templates to be an option when creating a new part. I am using the batch file to open the custom version of NX and I have modified the .pax file so the new entries read as follows:
<PaletteEntry id="d1">
<References/>
<Presentation name="A0 Wetzel Template" description="A0_No_Views, 1 Sheet">
<PreviewImage type="UGPart" location="drawing_views_template.jpg"/>
</Presentation>
<ObjectData class="drawingTemplate">
<Filename>A0_Wetzel_Template.prt</Filename>
<Units>Metric</Units>
<UsesMasterModel>Yes</UsesMasterModel>
</ObjectData>
</PaletteEntry>
However the template is not an option when creating the new file. I do have the template in the UG Customization/templates folder, and also put it in my on-board template folder just to cover the bases.
I think there is another file I need to change in order for the template to be referenced but can't find it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The "D" in the above line must be capitalized.
