MultiCAD configuration

MultiCAD is a process where a model is maintained in one CAD system, but is displayed in the other using JT files. MultiCAD is not a migration process, but is often used during the transition. If Teamcenter and NX are not configured properly, users may see an additional JT_Body in the NX Part Navigator. For example, this will occur if the TC_NX_Foreign_Datasets preference is defined for the entire site. The simplest method to solve this issue is to remove the TC_NX_Foreign_Datasets preference for the migration users. A second method to solve this issue is to follow these steps to modify the NX site.dpv file. 1. Create a folder structure for the site.dpv file according to NX standards as shown. D:\PATH_TO_SITE_LOCATION\startup\NX**_site.dpv 2. Edit the runnxservice.cmd file, for example: D:\CMM***\NXService\runnxservice.cmd. Add a path in this file to point to the site files and set UGII_USER_DIR= D:\PATH_TO_SITE_LOCATION
3. Confirm that the NX site file is being used by checking the NX.log file in CMM. It should list the UGII_SITE_DIR settings. Configuration guide
