Open the Part file through batch

[SelvarajC]

Hi All,
Is there any option to open the part file through batch using command line argument.
Generally applications accepts the command line arguments. I tried in NX but it is not working.
For example:
call %UGII_ROOT_DIR%\ugraf.exe D:\files\testPart.prt


Thanks,

Selvaraj,

Add the -retrieve option to pass the part file name to ugraf.exe.

call "%UGII_ROOT_DIR%\ugraf.exe" -retrieve:"D:\files\testPart.prt"

Using ugraf will cause a new instance on NX for each "Call".

Using just the part name will cause windows to use the default association for the .prt extension (ugs_router.exe) which will start NX if needed or reuse a running instance and pass the part file to NX.

Call "D:\files\testPart.prt"

HTH, Joe

Selvaraj C,

The NX launch command line switches:
[URL unfurl="true"]https://docs.plm.automation.siemens.com/tdoc/nx/10/nx_help/#uid:launch_win_switches_r[/url]
"Home -> Fundamentals -> Launching NX -> Start NX on Windows Platform"

Ugs_router.exe switches:
[URL unfurl="true"]https://docs.plm.automation.siemens.com/tdoc/nx/10/nx_help/#uid:xid280878[/url]
"Home -> System administration - Command line utilities -> Start and connect to applications"

Also, using an NX command shell and entering the command ugs_router with no arguments will cause a popup dialog that describes all of the arguments / options.

HTH,
Joe
