Configuring Design with NX Template Files for Create New in Web - on Premises Only

You can open Design with NX designs saved to 3DEXPERIENCE with the Product Structure Editor using the web to perform various actions and to visualize the designs.

  1. The Administrator must create the required template files using the native CAD app.

    To use the Create New functionality from the web, a template file of each type (Part, Assembly, and Drawing) is required.

    Naming conventions for Design with NX template files are specific for each type. They are as follows:

    • UPSNXAssemblyTemplate.asm
    • UPSNXDrawingTemplate.drw
    • UPSNXDrawingTemplate.svg
    • UPSNXPartTemplate.cgr
    • UPSNXPartTemplate.prt

    Also, empty .cgr and .svg files need to be available along with these template design files and deployed in the application.

    Note: The empty .svg (emptyDrawingTemplate.svg) and empty .cgr (EmptyCGR.cgr) files are part of the R2022x Design with NX POWER'BY Client installation and you can find them at C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\B424xcadconnectors\win_b64\UENC\lib\cgr\plat-win64.

  2. The Design with NX template files need to have a prefix of UPSNX in their names.

    Note: The file names require the appropriate design extension such as .asm, .drw, and .prt even though all the NX app designs already have the .prt file extension for Part, Assembly, and Drawing files.

  3. Copy the Design with NX template files and the empty .cgr and .svg files to the following location on 3DEXPERIENCE stack on the Windows' platform. This path changes based on if the 3DEXPERIENCE resides on other platforms.

    Path for copying Design with NX template files: C:\DassaultSystemes\R2020x\3DSpace\STAGING\ematrix\WEB-INF\resources\ups.

    The Design with NX template files are copied to the <3DSpace install directory>\STAGING folder.
  4. Execute the war utility to create the web application for deployment after the Design with NX template files get copied to the above-mentioned folder.

    For more information, see the 3DEXPERIENCE documentation for deployment instructions of the web application.
