NX 10 Roles

NX 10 Roles

NX 10 Roles

(OP)
It appears that saved roles in NX-10 use .pax files whereas up to NX-9 they used .MTX files.

Insert obvious question here " ".

I prefer to update by bring across my old settings and manipulating them to suit so I don't have to start over again.

RE: NX 10 Roles

why / how this conclusion ? ( -that roles use .pax )
I clicked one of the default roles, "advanced" , then i looked in the logfile and it notes :
&MACRO DDM_EVENT 6 1 <<<UG/ROLE_SYSTEM_PAL:Roles#id0<<< ! click
ROLE::LOAD - Role from D:\siemens\nx10.0\ugii\menus\roles\advanced.mtx file was loaded successfully

I also tried one of the "presentation roles" and it also calls a .mtx

RE: NX 10 Roles

Well I looked on the Customise Tabs for Roles and it has gone, so in a quest for a load/create dialog I tried the white space but I now think what that's actually presenting me with is a way of saving palettes, so I'm back to square #1.

How do I load and save roles?

Ah ha, I eventually located it under Tools, Preferences. He said wondering why it wouldn't also still reside where it always had previously?

RE: NX 10 Roles

Clearly no one is using this information, otherwise someone would have asked why its not actually found there.

It appears to be in Preferences> User Interface...> Roles

Honestly I have not downloaded any of the updates or maintenance packs for NX10, nor have I used it. I only loaded it and changed it to classic (not ribbon) and original grey and loaded my latest NX9 roles file. Siemens please add a black button option, I honestly get a headache staring at whit bright buttons all day long. Heck I change the gradient background to black on every file I work on also, its just less light blasting at your face all day.

RE: NX 10 Roles

This information was listed in the whatsnew.pdf document that came with the NX10 Distribution. It is located in the "Fundamentals" section.
