Saving components in the same folder

[rafi22]

I have an assembly, In which their components are assembled from different different folders. Is there any way to save/move the all the components into a same folder where top assembly file saved by single operation.

( Example: In catia V5, Using save management, propogate directory)

Thanks for your replies.

Rafi,

You can also look into cloning Assemblies>Cloning>Create Clone Assembly. By intention the dialog forces you to change the output filenames slightly, for example by appending a prefix or suffix. It may be the case that you need to do this anyway or that it is just a good idea to help you better manage your data.

Why it doesn't also contain the ability to simply clone the assembly with no name change in another directory I don't know. It would probably be a good enhancement if it hasn't already been introduced. I should mention that I haven't verified what NX-5 does at the time of posting.

In the meantime many people have been using UGZIPC to get around this limitation, as SIWY suggests. Note however that it does require a UG Open executable license which most will have but some may not.

Best Regards

I think I know what problem you are trying to solve, and sounds like you can use UGPC type script to find all components and collect the files from scattered folders into one folder to be zipped and shipped off to a customer/supplier.

Dave,

That's what UGZIPC does in fact.

On the downside I think neither works out of Teamcentre, but you'd just export the assembly to native then zip it anyway.

Best regards

I would use Export Assembly in a NX/Manager environment.

Good to know that UGZIPC does this, I would be more of a fan of this type of application if it was open source, but that is just me. Large companies that want to see it supported can pay maintenance.

Dave,

I thought it is freeware, or shareware on a voluntary basis.
