Curious if anyone has had this issue. Sometimes we share jobs with other divisions and we are running native NX. The hardware between the two locations is in a different network location. Can a journal file be written to quickly update this? The reuse file structure is the same (out of the box hardware) but the paths are different. Currently we add a similar part in the assembly then the hardware is recognized and we save. Other option is changing load options to "search folders" but this is slow. Maybe an easier automatic fix to this. Teamcenter is coming but for now looking for a fix.

Thanks
Shawn

you can save multiple "Load_options.def" ( any name) and you can set a windows variable to that file
UGII_LOAD_OPTIONS to say C:\users\Shawn\division_1.def ( = the load options file for division 1)
In the bottom of the Load options dialog there is a "save as" button to create the respective files. text files, can be adjusted by notepad.

The reuse libraries are defined in the customer defaults, you need to swap this between the divisions.
that too can be done using a Windows variable . We use the variable UGII_SITE_DIR which is set to something like
\\server123\NX_configin that there is a \startup\ in which the NX_site.dpv ( = the customer defaults file) is located.
By changing these two i think you can do what you want.
( changing a windows variable is easiest done using a .bat file.)
