color palette 2

[Victori]

Hallo
How do I NX8 - file with the color palette ugcolor_nx2.cdf änder that it looks the same with the color palette of NX10.

Thanks

 

[Toost]

can you try, again, describe what it is that you want ?

Regards,
Tomas

Out-of-the-box, the color palettes for NX 8.0 and NX 10.0 are exactly the same.

So far we have worked with the color palette ugcolor_nx2.cdf. Now we want to use the color palette of NX10 ugcolor.cdf. If we build now a component in an assembly ugcolor_nx2.cdf ugcolor.cdf, so the color of the component is not the same as the item in the assembly.
Now we want to update all files with ugcolor_nx2.cdf on ugcolor.cdf.
Has anyone ever done this?
Is there a program of Siemens?

Many thanks for the answer.

Click Preferences, color palette, Open CDF, browse to your nx2.cdf file. The component will now be displayed with the nx2 color palette applied. If you are creating new prt files in NX10 using the canned model or blank templates, the default color palette is applied. If you want the default template to be something else, you need to open the model or blank template files, change color palettes and save the template. Now when you create a new prt file using model or blank, your nx2 color pallete is what will be used.

The journal below will load a .cdf into a part. It also sets the background colours and the selection colours (to NX10 defaults).

It processes all the parts in the displayed part assembly.

We use this to update old files from NX4 (with 1990's AutoCAD style black background) to NX10 colour palette and selection defaults.

It is C# so save as a .cs and run journal.

I couldn't figure out how to use NXOpen.Display.Background.BackgroundType to change the background to graduated, but thats another thread...

NXOpen automating changing background colour and graduation
