NX7 pdf export problem

[innovision]

My OS is Win7x64.

I changed to Nx7 and one thing doesn't work. This is Pdf export. In NX6 this function was good.
If I apply the export, it says export completed, but I can't find the pdf file

If somebody had or has the same problem please help me.

Thanks

It works for me, but then I'm running NX 7.0.1.7, which you should be able to download as we speak (type).

BTW, when you enter a file name, do you use the 'Browse...' option to define both the destination and the name of the .pdf file?

If you forgot to specify an output file location, try looking in your <UG install directory>\UGII folder.

Or if you don't mind beachcombing, perform a windows file search for *.pdf (I'm guessing that will return hundreds of results!).

Thanks for the tips

I will try 1.0.1.7.

I specify the output file location as I did when I used NX6.
But the pdf didn't create in the specified folder.

I installed Nx6 next to Nx7 and in Nx6 pdf export works perfectly.

So first I will try 1.0.1.7 and I will see what happens.

Thanks again.

Now that I'm in my office I went back and tested NX 7.0.0.9 and I did NOT have any problems whatsoever creating a .pdf file where I expected it to be.

Note that I could find only one environment variable that is critical for PDF to work and that is...

UGII_CGM2PDF=

...and by default, it should be set to...

<NX Folder>\nxplot\bin\pdf

Now this is set in the 'ugii_env_ug.dat' file and so if this file exists at...

<NX Folder>\UGII\

...and it has not been tinkered with, I don't know to say.

BTW, you can check that this variable has been set correctly by going to, while NX is running,...

Help -> NX Log File

...and then doing a search for the text string "pdf".

I deleted all of the environmental variables of NX7 and I reninstalled the program and pdf export works fine now.

I don't know what was actually the real problem, but I am very happy that the reinstall solved it.

JohnRBaker, I have NX 7.0.0.9 as You have in your office.

For safety sake I updated to the newer ver. and everything works fine (pdf export too )))

So this was my first time to write in this forum. I have to say this forum is brilliant. I never asked for help here before (just read the topics) and you (cowski, John R. Baker) were very helpful.

So thanks again and have a nice day.
