How to open a file from windows explorer?
(OP)
Standard procedure for any software is that when you double-click a file in windows explorer, that file is opened in the appropriate program. But when I try this with an NX part file, another instance of the NX program starts (which is strange, because normally if the program is already started, the file would simply open in the current instance), but nothing is displayed. Dragging the file into the NX window does nothing. Sometimes I want to open an stp file by dragging the file into the NX window, but nothing happens here either.
Is it required that for opening a file, you can only do this via the file>open dialog?
I'm using windows 7.

I've had the *.prt extension assigned to proe before, but I've changed it in windows to NX, and now all *.prt files have the NX logo on them in windows explorer. However, they still don't open in NX.

Are you utilizing any other CAD sytems there ?
If I recall correctly; CADKey, SolidEdge, and SoliddWorks, also use the .prt extension so they may interfere with NX using it too.
