Assembly Navigator doesn't open full assembly 1

[Nelson R]

Hello everyone,

I am new to the NX administration world. A few engineers are experiencing this issue unfortunately, I've had zero success in resolving this.

The engineer opens a file/assembly
The assembly opens but does not open the full assembly stack.
The engineer has to right click the top file and select: OPEN\ASSEMBLY
The full assembly stack opens.
Is there a preference that will will open the full assembly? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Do you have 'Partial Loading' set?

There are multiple places where this can be changed. When you open a file, there is an option in the lower left corner, "load structure only"; if this option is turned on, the component data won't load. This option is saved between uses; if this is affecting some users, but not all, this is the first place I'd check.

If you go to menu -> file -> options -> assembly load options, you can set your desired load options and save it as your default. The scope -> load -> "all components" option will load the assembly components; the other options may or may not ("structure only" = no components, "as saved" = however the assembly was last saved, etc.). By default, NX saves/loads this file from somewhere in your install directory. This is worth investigating, but most users probably won't have write access to the NX install directory.

If you are using NX custom (or your own startup scripts), you can specify a different location for the assembly load options by using the UGII_LOAD_OPTIONS environment variable. Each user can set up their own load options, if desired.
