journal stopped working between 2212 and 2306

[multicaduser]

Tested this again today, this journal runs without issues in 2212 but errors out in 2306. It depends on a specific directory structure and errors out and any project, so it doesn't look like a file system issue.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Sounds like it cannot find the file: "model-plain-1-inch-template.prt".
I'd suggest searching your 2212 install/custom dirs for this template file and then make sure it is in a similar location for 2306. Also, check the NX log file after getting this error, it might tell you where it expects to find the template file.

@cowski, you were absolutely right about not being able to find the "model-plain-1-inch-template.prt". This file was in the startup directory, but it was the "ugs_model_templates.pax" file in the startup directory that was the issue. Still not sure what about the "pax" file was the problem because it looks the same, but overwriting it with the one from the 2212 startup directory corrected the issue.

Not sure what the correct way to customize NX is, just keep updating from all the way back to NX5 batch startup file using it to set all the environment variables.

Thanks for your help.
