take file settings

[avalon3d]

Hello, everyone!
Is there a way in ug to set all settings on a file as default or should I set the default customer by hand whenever I have to change standards?

Thank you.

Thank you.

there are various ways:
1) you set up different "user roles", and this serves for interface nx.
2) you save various files, which you will use as a template depending on the settings you want.
3) the customer default, (if you need different), you do not have to set them by hand, but you can export/import them
in the customer default, there is a button on the top right (menage current settings)

then opening a file just export the default customer to "save" on files all settings of that part?
and to apply them on a part already created?

Thank you.

I think you're getting into a juniper. .
Let us understand: what kind of settings are you talking about?
Standard drafting? colors? other options?
As for standard drafting, the guide in English says:
changing your drafting standard in an nx sessionyou can use tools-drafting standard at any time in the drafting or pmi application to reconfigure your annotation and drafting view preferences in accordance with the selected standard.

note that only settings with a corresponding preference are reconfigured. if a preference does not exist for a standard default setting, then that setting will not change in your current nx session. you can only change those settings by changing the drafting standard customer default and starting a new nx session.

for example, changing your drafting standard does not affect the weld standard, which is defined by the weld option. this option is only on the other symbols-weld tab of the customize drafting standards dialog box.
you can check the nx log file (help-nx log file) for a complete list of default settings that are not changed after you reset your drafting standard.
drafting standards and drawing templateswhen you use a drawing template to create a new drawing part, the standards associated with the template are automatically applied to your drawing. you can reset the drawing preferences by applying a different drafting standard after the drawing is created.

to use the drafting standard that is set for the nx session instead of the template standard, before you create the part, make sure the use settings from standards option is set. this option is available in the drawing tab of the customer defaults-drafting-general dialog box.to change all styles in a drawing already made and quoted:
-from the "tool"-"drafting standard" menu loads the standard you want
-select what you need to fix
- from the "edit" menu select "style" and in the window click on "reset all"

As for the colors I still crave in the dark... I do not understand whether they depend on the part template (or sheet) or whether they depend on the customer defaults. If anyone has any suggestions, come!

Thank you.

You cannot export the settings of a part file and configure customer default accordingly.
The options are three:
1) Set customer defaults correctly once and for all and use the 'blank' template.
the blank template not having settings, will select all settings from the customer default.

2) create a settings transfer tempalte that you will use to set files with wrong settings.

3) use nx 'as is', both at the template and customer default level and as you correct the shot as you feel it appropriate.

correct me if I'm wrong... the customer default contains all settings, and in templates, the only templates that are sure are aligned to the cus.def. are blank templates.
Also I can bring the settings from the c.d. inside a file, but I can't do the reverse operation, i.e. align the c.d. with the settings I find inside a file.
Also there are settings that are made in the c.d. and others that are made in the template and that in the c.d. are not found.
I hope I've explained... In fact, I hope I have understood right at the time when they explained them to me.
Good job!

the blank template has no settings.
the file you create from a blank template takes all settings from the cd.

Also I can bring the settings from the c.d. inside a file, but I can't do the reverse operation, i.e. align the c.d. with the settings I find inside a file.

Right. you can't "put" a file settings in your cd.

Also there are settings that are made in the c.d. and others that are made in the template and that in the c.d. are not found.

Right.
For example, in the template you can set layers category, datums, etc...
