Customized Resource bar for all at start up

Customized Resource bar for all at start up

Hi,
I add a tab on the Resource bar for drawing templates.
How can set this customized tab for all users at the start up, like Reuse Library ?

Thank you...

Distribute the registry key from your HCU Nx registry setting to other users.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Unigraphics Solutions\nx\7.5\Layout\Resource Bar\Tab Widths
via export /import

RE: Customized Resource bar for all at start up

Why are you using a Resource Bar 'tab' for Drawing Templates? Since NX 5.0 you've been able to access Drawing Templates directly from the File -> New... dialog.

Hi John,
sorry for the delay.
I'm make a misleading example.
I need a new tab in the resource bar that contain more then one part list type, like a part list for the production, one for the buyer and one with the total assembly weight.
So, only via registry I can implement this common resource tab ?

Thank you...

Hi Cubalibre00 ,
Not sure if this is worth mentioning here but in case you saved your custom part lists as a template using SAVE AS TEMPLATE then these will be saved in the TABLE FILES folder.So this folder can be copied and used by other users to access your custom templates.For adding this to the resource bar all they will need to do it is add the table.pax file through PALLETS as shown in the picture attached.Sorry i am not sure if the methodolgy will be the same in managed env too.
Best Regards

RE: Customized Resource bar for all at start up

I did not find a "out of the box solution" to "how to start a specific tab automatically for all users", neither did i like the idea of modifying the registry on all computers. I try to stay away from the registry as long as possible.
I ended up in creating a toolbar ( .tbr = old style) in our "startup" * directory. The toolbar has two buttons / macros which each does Preferences- Palettes- open Palette ( then types the correct address ) + OK.

I then need to instruct all users to show the toolbar and press the correct button . ( One tab for managed mode and one tab for native)
The users only need to press that button once. then they can forget the toolbar.

Per our UGII_SITE_DIR setting, if there exists a "Startup" directory , all .tbr files in it will be started automatically.


Regards,
Tomas

I will try to set to the user when asked.

Thank you...
