customer defaults problem 1

[moog2]

i'm using NX3 at a new place, and they've only just started using it, so its not set up too good...
I've gone into the customer defaults and changed a few things, but, although it change them, in the defaults window, and stays that way, in the session, i came back today, and they're back to how they were.
At the other place, we had "site" and "user" defaults, but here they only have "user".
Any ideas?

Do you have write access to the location specified by the "user" default ?

You could always create a "site" default.

I logged in as administrator to do it, so i reckon that should have done it ?
I've looked for the actual location of the
"user-defaults file" but i can't find it.
Reading the help makes it even more confusing, as it tells me there isn't an actual default file, and that it's a mixture of settings from "metric.dat" etc.

I have a copy of 2 "site- default" files from the other place,(one's .dpv , the other's .xsl ) but if i put those in i can't keep these setting's that we have here.
I'd like to be able to create a site default with what we have, then start changing things.

I use Rob Cohon's "customer defaults" file setup, which locates all of the defaults files away from the 'out-of-the-box' installation files (no worries about having them over written during updates). You can get his files, and instructions off the UGS newsgroups (you'll need a webkey ID).

Also, you can locate these files on a server, which is what I do, so that no matter what computer you are on, you can acces the same set of defaults. You can also control read/write privleges too.

Everything should be designed as simple as possible, but not simpler.

If the user variable is not set, it should use ... C:\Documents and Settings\'userid'\Local Settings\Application Data\Unigraphics Solutions\NX\nx3_user.dpv

Define one or more of these settings to enable Group and/or site settings. The first one sets where the user settings are set. Preferably on a shared drive with a user_id to keep them separate.

UGII_LOCAL_USER_DEFAULTS=<path>\nx3_user.dpv
UGII_GROUP_DIR=<path>
UGII_SITE_DIR=<path>
