ugii_env_ug.dat - This is SIEMENS file to control. Do NOT edit it. Siemens may change arbitrarily at MR or MP upgrades.
ugii_env.dat - THIS is the file you want to edit (unless you have the ENV variable UGII_ENV_FILE set, in which case that file should be edited instead)
ugii_env.dat_default - this is a "backup" of ugii_env.dat, in case you really screw up ugii_env.dat and want to get back to the "as installed" settings. Do NOT edit it...
Briefly, when NX starts, it only uses ONE definition for an ENV variable.
The FIRST one defined in the following list is the one that gets used (all "later" ones are ignored):
- "process specific" OS level ENV (e.g. defined in a .BAT file used to start NX)
- "user" OS level ENV (System -> Advanced system settings -> Environment Variables -> TOP half of dialog)
- "system" OS level ENV (System -> Advanced system settings -> Environment Variables -> BOTTOM half of dialog)
- ugii_env.dat _OR_ file pointed to by ENV variable UGII_ENV_FILE
- ugii_env_ug.dat
If you are using TC, *I think* they are set between (1) and (2). Also note, in TC, that if you change an OS level ENV (2 or 3 above), you have to close _BOTH_ NX _and_ TC, then restart TC, then start NX, for NX to see the change.
