Modeling - Importable Part Family Template

If you've used NX for a number of versions, you may have noticed that the default column headings have changed for newer versions of NX when creating part families.

Old versions used to enter the default column heading: "Part_Name".

Newer versions now enter the default column headings: "DB_PART_NO" and "OS_PART_NAME".

The change was made to allow part families to be imported into teamcenter. If you don't use teamcenter then you may consider these columns unnecessary.

To restore the old "Part_Name" column heading open the customer defaults [File > Utilities > Customer Defaults], browse to Modeling > General, select the Miscellaneous tab and uncheck "Importable Part Family Template".


Remember to restart NX for the changes to the customer defaults to be read.
