I use the UG NX5 at work, and I must to clear the history from the menutoolbar "recently opened parts". How can I do this???
 
I really don't think there is a way to do that.
If you are trying to hide something from somebody, then open some new parts, and they will replace the old ones that are currently showing in there.
 
I already did it. But don't wat to save this historic more.
You can disable for viewing by going into Tools-Customize - File and then uncheck the items.
I don't want that the software save this .
 
The software will always save it in your "history" tab, and it doesn't look like there is a way around that.
 
For the history palette, delete your history.pax file.

For the recent file list... if you're brave, authorized, and at your own risk, you can clear the values in the registry with a .reg file that has entries like this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Unigraphics Solutions\NX\7.5\General\Parts\Recent\Native]
"UG Native part name 1"=hex(2):00,00
"UG Native desc name 1"=hex(2):00,00

You can reset the 'History' palette by going to...

Preferences -> Palettes...

...and select the 'Clear History' button at the bottom of the dialog. Note that this will clear the items shown on the History 'Palette', but unfortunately this does nothing with respect to...

File -> Recently Opened Parts

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
 
Is it possible to change the length of the 'Open a Recent Part' list?
Then you could set it to 1 (or maybe 0)?
