Export ANT to Spreadsheet (NX 9) 1

[dtharrett]

Part of our normal workflow is to export the assembly navigator to excel, and provide the information to our procurement department for purchasing purposes. We are running NX9 native (although somewhat managed by Windchill FWIW).

The output is a spreadsheet that contains attributes like description, qty, part number, vendor number and several other custom attributes.

The output from one user is a little different (for the same assembly). Most computers include suppressed items yet one does not. There are a few other differences. I suspect there is a setting, preference or customer default that is different. Does anyone know where the export to spreadsheet setting/defaults are located?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Dtharrett,

The final NX Assembly Navigator configuration/customization information is stored in the Windows registry for the given user on the given computer.

"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Unigraphics Solutions\NX\10.0\General\ANT"

Reg.exe can be used to export the desired settings and to import them to the non-standard user/machine.

(The export is performed while logged in as "Example" user and the import is performed while logged in as the non-standard user.)

reg.exe export "HKCU\Software\Unigraphics Solutions\NX\10.0\General\ANT" NX10_ANAV_settings.reg /y
reg.exe import NX10_ANAV_settings.reg

HTH,

Joe
