file association
file association
(OP)
Could someone tell me where to point the file association to open a nx file by double click
My .prt got associated to another program. I tried pointing it to ugraf.exe, but that didn't work.
When I look at the extension on a box that is working it says "NX Component" for the association but doesn't show me where its looking for it
Thanks

RE: file association
You need to find the file extension first (.prt), then find the default type it is pointing to (OOTB for NX would be UGpartfile).
If yours isn't pointing to that, then you would need to change and set it to point to it.
If it is pointing to UGpartfile, then check that key to see what the default program is set to.
Image below might explain better.

RE: file association
assoc .prt
#this will show you its association
ftype UGpartfile= (your program directory) \UGII\ugsrouter.exe
#this will set to whatever version of NX you want to load from
ftype UGpartfile
#this will verify the path
Registry will work too, but if your not comfortable with editing it, cmd line is the next best bet.
