radial pop-ups

[moog2]

I had my radial pop-ups customised in NX5, but i've changed jobs, and am on NX4, but i can't get it to work, are they editable on NX4?

Yes, but you have to do it by editing a file (you can NOT customize it using the Customize options).

What you do is move a copy of 'ug_view_popup.men' from the UGII\menus folder to the 'application' folder in your user directory. Now just edit this copy of the popup menu and when NX starts, it will use your copy instead of the system's copy.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

that's exactly what i've done , and i've set an enviroment variable to look there for it, but it still won't work ??

Make sure that you have not changed the name of the .men file. It must have the exact same name as the original. Attached is a copy of the pop-up menu file that I use with NX 4. It works fine for me.
