Siemens NX: Customizing The Ugii - Env - Dat File: Alex Sergeenko 1 Comment

1. The document discusses customizing the ugii_env.dat file in Siemens NX to force unlock custom options like running NX in debug mode or using an old sketcher interface. 2. It explains that the ugii_env.dat file allows overriding defaults set in the ugii_env_ug.dat file which is replaced during software updates. 3. Several example environment variables are provided that customize aspects like the country configuration, sketching tools, and broken link behavior.

Siemens NX: Customizing the ugii_env.

dat file

At first I have to say a few words about ugii_env.dat: NX utilizes a pretty felicitous variables-
based settings. It history traces back to Unix-based systems. Older NX versions
used ugii_env.dat file, but now both ugii_env.dat and ugii_env_ug.dat are in use.
During a launching, NX initializes all environment variables through the ENV_ug_init() function.
On the whole, the ugii_env.dat is a storehouse of different (including those undocumented)
options.
Now some information about the ugii_env_ug.dat. Please note, that customer changes should
be made to the ugii_env.dat file directly, which then includes the ugii_env_ug.dat file. It will be
replaced when a MR is loaded, so customers should not edit this file. Environment variables
in ugii_env.datsupercede any values in the ugii_env_ug.dat, so override the defaults by defining
the value in the ugii_env.dat file, which will not be replaced during MR updates.
The following variables are exceptions, they must still be set correctly in the user’s
environment. This is done by the UG installation. UGII_BASE_DIR, UGII_ROOT_DIR,
UGS_LICENSE_SERVER.
The ugii_env.dat file is located in the <NX Base Dir>/UGII.
The ugii_env.dat lets you to force unlock some of custom NX options, for an instance:
1. UGII_DISPLAY_DEBUG = 1
If enabled in the ugii_env.dat will run NX in the debug mode, which besides means NX would
use classical toolbar instead of new ribbon-style. Note: use this workaround at your own risk. This
fuctionality could lead to the unexpected results, even to the corrupted NX installation.
Thereafter I gathered some intersting environment variables with their short definition:

1. UGII_COUNTRY=prc
Variables for country customizations. Currently only used for PRC. This option if enabled will
add the extra functionality to the NX installation, the co-called GC-Toolkit which includes features
for gear modeling, spring design and so on.

1. UGII_OLD_SKETCH=0
If set, turn on old sketcher interface, else new sketcher interface is used.

1. UGII_WAVE_DELETE=0
If set as 1, delete will be the only EDU(Edit During Update) option available when a broken link
is detected in a linked part. This behavior may be desired to ensure that orphan linked geometry
is automatically deleted from linked parts if its parent geometry has been deleted from start part.

UGII_CAM_BASE_DIR=${UGII_BASE_DIR}\mach\
This is the root for CAM specific files.

UGII_CAM_TEMPLATE_PART_DIR=${UGII_CAM_RESOURCE_DIR}template_part\
UGII_CAM_TEMPLATE_PART_ENGLISH_DIR=${UGII_CAM_TEMPLATE_PART_DIR}english\
UGII_CAM_TEMPLATE_PART_METRIC_DIR=${UGII_CAM_TEMPLATE_PART_DIR}metric\
These are the locations of the english and metric template parts.
