I want no ".log files" when exporting :-(

Hello
I want no ".log files" when exporting sad (Export to .DXF)
NX just creates these extra files out of nowhere...

What buttons I press ?

Thanks

RE: I want no ".log files" when exporting :-(

Not possible, NX uses the log files to record how to process the files.
Write a batch file that deletes all *.log files and run it after doing the export.

RE: I want no ".log files" when exporting :-(

you could maybe, if the log files are very annoying, do a little dirty trick.

( I have not tried this but i assume that it works)

In the D:\siemens\NX11.0\DXFDWG\ there is a file "dxfdwg.def" which contains the defaults for the dxf/dwg translation.
Somewhere in this file there is a line "LOG_FILE =" which you probably can set to "LOG_FILE = C:\temp\dxflog.log"
then all your translations will use the same logfile-name, each time it will be overwritten by the last log.

Anyhow, these logfiles are not to ignore, IF a translation would fail, the notes on what failed will be written to the log file.
In case the problem is "more difficult" and you need help to solve it, GTAC will ask for a copy of the logfile.
( GTAC is Siemens support.)

I like to make things easy smile
Wonder how people in every company that I have been who draw a lot daily just ignore these tricks. They seem to not just care about simpler methods available and it's harmful because I never learn anything new from these kind of people sad

Hope there would be more curious innovators in my workplace. That can place designing things under question smile
Thanks
