is there a list of ENV variables to clean up assembly parts while loading

is there a list of ENV variables to clean up assembly parts while loading

is there a list of ENV variables to clean up assembly parts while loading

(OP)
NX6.0.5.3 and TC 8.3

Is there some list of ENV variables which can be set , so that when an assembly is being loaded in the NX manager, it cleans the parts and structure automatically and loads the assembly..

Interesting scenario is that, If I set the load option to load all components, the assembly loads fine.. if I set load option to structure only and then once the top level loads, I right click and select option to open assembly, the assembly fails to load by giving Internal Memory Violation error .. undo mark is missing..

How to get this issue resolved?

What makes you think that there even ARE so-called 'Environment Variables' which would have any effect on the opening of an NX Part file, be it an assembly or not?

Hi,
have you ever done a part cleanup in the refile ?
Have you ever done a refile in your database ?
You can also make a part cleanup in the assembly fully opened.

Thank you...

Using NX 8 and TC9.1

Part Cleanup and resave your assembly is the best option. Any tools to correct databse corruption are built in the Part Cleanup commands.

IF there are some env variables, they would be restricted to GTAC usage and not shared with the customer base. Things can go wrong quickly if some of the GTAC tools are used without deep thought asnd good backups. I have been accused in the distant past of being one to run things like patches and stuff before they are 'officially' released. The release group has improved their timing over the years of patches and documentation.

If you just want to do "part clean up". You can write a macro or a .dll as a post action to File ->Open(user exit). We have done a lot of thing this way.
