Hi,

I want to create customized Sheet and Drawing templates.
But I got the error marked on red in the attached picture.
What options do I have in order to complete this task?

Either the part or the pax file (possibly both) are currently write-protected. Either modify these files so that you can overwrite them or save new files to a location where you have read/write access.

If you are setting up templates for a group of users, I suggest using NXcustom:
This is an unofficial utility created and maintained by Siemens employees that helps segregate your custom files from the main NX install. When run on a network location that everyone has access to, it helps manage files common to the entire group - such as drawing templates, custom menus, reuse library files, etc.
 
Thank you Cowski,

I will use NXcustom.
What happens if I will use the option pointed by the red arrow?

I'm not sure what that option does. I don't think it was available the last time I setup drawing templates. I just created my drawing files and edited the pax file manually (it is a plain text file).

Perhaps someone else can shed some light on that option.
 
Given that the pax file is a directory of templates available in the File-New dialog, not updating it will result in your new template not showing up on that dialog.
 
Bleaker,

Thanks for your reply.
What would you suggest in this matter?

Thanks,
