Hallo!
Is it possible to double click in file stp and open it.

RE: open file stp

Hi,
If you have Teamcenter visualization installed then it is possible to open it by a double click on it. I have not checked it in NX though (but i would prefer to use an IMPORT in NX for bringing in the step data.This will give you the liberty of importing selective entities (may be solids only) as per your requirement rather than imporing it as a whole).
Thanks and Best Regards

RE: open file stp

As far as I know the answer is no. The issue I have with this is, opening up a step from a place like Mcmastercarr and or models provided by vendors via their websites.

RE: open file stp

I think is possible.
I opened the Total commander and chose:
1)File-Associative with
2) I added directory "C:\Siemens\NX 8.0\UGII\ugs_router.exe" "%1")
and manual added -ug -use_file_dir
The entire path ("C:\Siemens\NX 8.0\UGII\ugs_router.exe" -ug -use_file_dir "%1")
NX opened, but file is not opened
I think the words -ug -use_file_dir is not correctly.

RE: open file stp

That approach only works if the file type is actually an NX .prt file.

What you could do is write a simple program which would run the STEP conversion program, outputting an NX .prt file and then check to see if NX is already running and if so, have NX open the newly created .prt file. If NX is not running, launch a session of NX using the newly created .prt file as the target.

Once you have this program written, simply tell Windows that the default application for .stp files is your program.
