NX and Teamcenter
- Thread starter jerry1423
- Start date
Should be able to connect to Teamcenter from your NX session and then a save should put the file into your workspace. A check-in should move it to the common folder space.

It depends on how you have opened the NX session.
Was it opened in "Managed" mode? Meaning did you use NX manager or from the "open in nx" button in Teamcenter?
Just a normal save action will save it directly into Teamcenter.
Or did you open NX as the stand alone (NX native)? In that case, it is not possible to directly save to Teamcenter.
You will need to save as usual and then import the partfile to an existing item in Teamcenter.

The setup NX-Teamcenter which i am familiar with works slightly different to how i have seen other CAD-PLM solutions.
"Other solutions" that i have seen works such as Ben mentions , you have the CAD system running and from there you connect to the PLM system, then you explicitly checkout/checkin/manage the files.
NX is started as "connected mode", ( Either with a running TC session on your screen or without TC session or with the "Active workspace" inside NX)
you cannot, to my knowledge, connect a running NX session.
Checkin/checkout etc is then by default fully automatic and something most users don't have to care about. You simply open the part, modify it and save+ close.
The exception is when working together on assemblies , then the user that is to manipulate the assembly itself needs to be the one who checks it out. Else the first modifier will check out.
If you have a "connected session" there is a wizard for importing parts from Windows. - Normally you should / must enter a number of attributes when creating a new item in TC.
