In our company we use more NX versions, the mold designers use older versions then the CAM programmers. If we do not want to occassionally overwrite the older files we have to copy all the construction to examine. I think there must be a hidden switch, because the CAM templates are opened as read only during programming..

RE: Open files read only

I am assuming that you’re using the default templates provided with NX. These are usually set to read only when installed. If you’re using some custom templates then, provided you have the permissions, you can change them to read/write.
