NX DSL 5.1.0 Release Notes


Drawing Format Program new

A totally rewritten program has been put in place. It is much more integrated into the NX workflow. See the overview for more information. Note that formats created with the previous drawing format program will need to be upgraded before they can be used. The upgrade operation may require some manual cleanup afterwards to get the format to present itself correctly again.

The previous drawing format program is still available and will be removed from the DSL at a later date. It can now be accessed from Tools->DSL 5.1->Legacy Drawing Format.

Disabling the Legacy Format Program

You have the option to remove the legacy format program from the menus. The user will still be able to access the legacy format program from File->Execute->NX Open menu item. To implement this for a DSL configration, copy the DSL_BASE_DIR/config/removeoldformat.mtx file to your configuration's nx3.0/application directory. To implement this for multiple DSL configurations, place the file in the common configuration's application directory.

Disable the New Format Program

If your site is not ready to rollout the new format program, it can be disabled and the previous menu/toolbar setup restored with the following:

NOTE: Disabling of the new format program will only be available in DSL 5.1.x and NX 3. It will not be possible in DSL 6.x and NX 4.
