NX8.0 Selection settings not being saved?
NX8.0 Selection settings not being saved?
(OP)
So our office recently went to NX8.0 at our customers request. Nobody in the office, however, can seem to permanently change the selection settings for it. Everytime UG is closed, it resets back to the default.
So for example, I prefer to setup my selection rule to "Inside/Crossing" and I also disable "Highlight with thick edges" (among other prefrences) but everytime I have to close UG, it reverts back to "inside" and enables "highlight with thick edges" (etc). The really strange part though, is that it did save the setting to "show crosshairs". It just wont save the rest of them.
Is there something new in NX8 about how these settings are saved? Previously, you could just change them and exit UG... and they'd be saved that way until you needed to change them again. Is there a particular folder that we need write access to for these settings to save properly?
thanks for looking
Steve

What folder should they give be giving us read/write access to? (I'll just forward this request over to them)
Thanks again

Go to...
Customer Defaults -> Gateway -> User Interface -> General
...and about 2/3's of the way down the dialog look for an option titled 'Save Dialog Memory bwtween Sessions'. If it's NOT toggled ON then do so. Then hit OK and restart NX, make your changes to the Selection Preferences, exit NX and restart a new session and see if the changes have stuck or not.
