NX6 plotting in Windows 7 64-bit
NX6 plotting in Windows 7 64-bit
(OP)
We recently switched to some Windows 7 workstations, and we're trying to work out all of the kinks to get our stuff working properly again.
We're having trouble getting our Plotters to work.
I have added the two environment variables UGII_SDI_BPS_JOBS_DIR & UGII_SDI_OVERRIDE_HOME, which actually allowed our plotters to show up when using the Plot command. There is also a file called userprofiles, which on our Windows XP machines was placed in C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\print_submit. I copied our userprofiles file, and put it in the folder C:\Users\<username>\My Documents\print_submit on my new Windows 7 machine. However, when selecting a plotter in NX, I get nothing in the "Profile" dropdown below it, as you can see below.

Basically, they're set up the same on both PC's, but I have added the necessary environment variables for Windows 7 64-bit, and the location of my userprofiles file is different because of the folder setup in Windows 7. I have made no changes to the userprofiles file. I am inexperienced with setting up plotters, so any help would be much appreciated.

To solve it I gave temporary Admin rights to the user account, changed their user variables, then removed admin rights.
Not sure why it was like this, but it did fix the issue for me.
