Blank templates - NX 6

[BOPdesigner]

I am looking at the pax files and see that the different templates start with a seed prt or start part file. But for the Blank part, there is no entry in the *template.pax files in the UGII\templates folder. Is there an actual part with settings that gets loaded when a users selects Blank as their template? Can this blank template be customized?

The 'Blank Part' option is being provided for the sole purpose of supporting the pre-NX 5.0 era...

File -> New...

...workflow where the initial empty Part file was created on-the-fly based only on the settings found in Customer Defaults.

We actually recommend that if you are using template files and have already customized those files so as to provide as much initial content as possible, such as predefined Attributes, Layer Categories, Views, Display option settings, etc, that it might be best to go to...

Customer Defaults -> Gateway -> General -> File New

...and toggle OFF the 'Show Blank Templates' option, therefore helping you and your organization enforce company standards by requiring that ALL new parts must be based on a pre-existing Template file.
