CMM defaults defaults to using the out-of-date seed parts.

CMM defaults defaults to using the out-of-date seed parts.

Description of the problem (Be as specific as possible):

In a standard Tc installation for NX, there are two sets of files generated as templates for NX. They are organized into two folders, NX Templates and Unigraphics seed parts. The Unigraphics seed parts are from NX 4 and are woefully out of date and inadequate for use in modern versions of NX.

At best, this results in user confusion. At worst, it results in downstream failures, like:

1. New data generated with these seeds (templates) always open in Gateway and not in the appropriate NX application

2. These are defaults used for Content Migration from Creo, Ideas, Solidworks, Catia, which result in unusual behavior for the migrated parts

Detailed steps required to duplicate the problem (These may be supported via a macro, journal, AVI, or PowerPoint images): None Required

Recommended solution:

Remove the Unigraphics seed parts folder and contents. Do not include either Item called Inch or Metric in a standard Tc Integration for NX (NX Manager) installation.

Modify the default seed parts for Content Migration Manager to use a standard NX Template

1. Assembly Template Item ID: assembly-mm-template or assembly-inch-template

2. ModelTemplate Item ID: model-plain-1-mm-template or model-plain-1-inch-template

3. DrawingTemplate Item ID: Drawing-A0-Size-template or Drawing-E-Size-template

Add tip/note to modify selection to use customer-specific NX Templates
