Having trouble getting Customer Default settings to take effect
Having trouble getting Customer Default settings to take effect
(OP)
When I create a new sheet, the settings are set to 1st angle view. We need 3rd angle views. In Customer defaults I had to do a search to find it, using "Projection" but I set it to 3rd angle. It is set to 3rd angle in USER, GROUP, and SITE. Still, when I restert UG, and create a new file, and add a sheet, it still says 1st angle.
This is also happening with the Ordinate dimension setting under Preferences - Drafting - Ordinate. We need the Positive Direction to be set at "USER DEFINED", but no matter how we set it in Customer Defaults, it still shows up as "ALL"
Any suggestions as to why some Customer Default settings are not taking effect?

Do you have multiple versions of NX installed? If so, are your environment variables pointing to the correct version?

After making your change in Customer Defaults it will be saved in a specific Drafting Standard. After you restart NX and you open your Drawing, go to...
Preferences -> Drafting -> General /Setup -> Workflow
...and at the bottom of the page you'll find a section titled 'Drawing' and an option titled 'Settings Origination'. Change this from 'Drawing Template' to 'Drawing Standard' and see if that has the desired effect.

As mentioned earlier, we have the same problem with the ordinate dimensions, though this is simply to save people the annoyance of having to always check that setting. Nothing serious as it is not too difficult to change it after its done.
I saw a post somewhere else where someone mentioned something about updating templates. Can we change settings for templates already created?
