Good day gents,
I've recently started work with a company that not only doesn't have a local UG installation, but where all IT is handled through an outside company. UG templates, utilities, anything within the UGii folder, is off limits. I've also found that any request to add templates and whatnot is like an act of congress.
So, what I'm curious to know is... how much workaround can one do within UG?
'We' do not want to use Master Model and I've tried to make a case for it numerous times to no avail. They'd rather have one assembly, one print with multiple sheets for the assembly components. Our product is comprised of small(er) tooling assemblies.
Now, the engineering manager DOES want a specific block/info layout within the drawing and these 'template.prt' files are stored on our server. The problem is, loading anything into this pseudo-template locks me out of using 'explosions' and/or building BOMs that update as they normally do. Importing this INTO a part's drawing doesn't seem to help much either. I'm lost here, as I've never had to jump through so many hoops and barrels to get what I need effeciently.
Anyone else working in a more locked-down environment where UGii is inaccessible? Any hints/tricks for workarounds on these issues would be most appreciated.
BTW we are still using NX6.0
Thanks in advance,
Everett
