Hello everyone,
I use NX 9.0 , at the moment i set the path for created library files N:\nx libray\...
But it can be problem sometimes when i open it "as saved".
I want to use "From Folder" option always.
When i need it i copy all files from N:\nx libray\... folder to my working folder, and go on. Hundreds of unnecessary files.
Are there any way, when i create put screws to my assambly, it'll save it to current working folder?

Both your current and proposed workflows lead to duplication of data. Such duplication is rarely a good idea. As an alternative, try using the "From Search Folders" load option; set your 'working' folder as the first folder to search and the library folder as the second folder to search followed by any auxiliary folders.

i want this option for copying my project files to my notebook.
I design machines in office on my workstation, and i go with my notebook to presentation. It's always problem.
Or when i sell the design, it doesn't looks like professional in working folder thousands of unnecessary files.
As a result, i need from folder option..
 
Clone assembly is a good solution for that. Thank you.
I've one more question.
When i'm cloning the assembly it asks for a name rule. I want exactly same names. But it doesn't looks like possible.
Are there any way to clone files by same name?
 
The trick used to be to use a space as the suffix. The system would accept that as a new name, but would strip it off when it performed the clone operation.

I'm not sure if the trick still works in recent versions of NX.

If the trick doesn't work, you can create and edit a clone file:
