    Import stp file in NX

    Hello,

    Never thought about this one before.

    I have a assembly file exported from Inventor as a stp file. In normal course if i import that file into NX it will create all the parts and maintains the assembly structure as well.
    But all the new NX parts are created using default NX part template.
    What i want is to configure is that the new parts use my standard part template(seedpart) instead of standard NX part template.
    I am using Nx4.
    Regards
    Ananth Kulkarni

    Ananth,

    If you look in the install directory for NX, there are 2 folders (STEP203UG, STEP214UG)
    Look for NX part files in these folders (i.e. step214ugnullnx50_in.prt)
    These are the 'seed' parts that get used when doing a translation.
    If you replace the appropriate part with your own template part, it will use it as the seed part.
    I would recommend backing up (rename to .bak) the supplied part before replacing it.

    Be Well
