Disable Save option in NX 7.5
Disable Save option in NX 7.5
(OP)
In this thread http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=204831 it discusses how to prevent the ability to save a file by disabling ctrl+s and the save option from the file menu. Looks like it will only stick for that role. Is there something else that can be set that is more permanent? Like an enviornment variable perhaps? We have NX on our shop floor computers where machinests are viewing and verifying the tool paths of NX CAM data created by our CNC programmers. We want to make sure that they don't accidently make a change and then save that change back to the network drive where they have the CAM part file opened from. We can't just restrict their access to this location to read only because there are other tools and applications they use in which they need to write data to this network location.

the startpath of NX :
C:\siemens\NX7.5\UGII\ugraf.exe
the startpath of NX Viewer :
C:\siemens\NX7.5\UGII\ugraf.exe -view
Maybe somebody can help here.

RE: Disable Save option in NX 7.5
Regarding the response to Derwood785 - The .prt doubleclick eventually pass the .prt file to the ugraf.exe. The optional "package" argument (-nx | -view etc.) (-nx is assumed if not supplied) is remembered per user. So there are two approaches, for every user "remember" the -view package or always supply the -view to the definition for the .prt "mimetype" which passes arguments (including the part file name from the doubleclick) to ugraf.exe.
If a given user has used a "package" the subsequent nx session will read the user-specific stored "last package" info and use that package during the nx launch. (unless a different package is explicitly invoked)
Changing the registry for the 2nd option addresses all current and future users for that machine. (But is will not allow user specific ability to then run different NX "packages" without again editing the registry)
The registry key to accomplish the 2nd option is "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\UGpartfile\shell\open\command"
Add the following to the end of the current (Default) value for the key above:
-opts -view
To revert to NX use
-opts -nx
Hope this helps,
Joe
