Modifying session settings in NX Fixture Planner

As a fixture planner, you can modify the user name, current project, role and user group under which you are working in Study Manager before you load a study. Modifying any of these settings impacts the data that is loaded, and any new data that is created.

Note:

Full functionality for this feature is available with NX Fixture Planner 12.0.2 or later. If you are running earlier versions of NX Fixture Planner, you can see settings information, but you cannot change it.

This table provides information about how session settings behave in Study Manager.

Note:

The use cases in the following table depend on the Teamcenter configuration in your environment. For more information, contact your Teamcenter administrator, or refer to the Teamcenter Active Workspace Deployment documentation.

Modify session settings in NX Fixture Planner

The Study Manager dialog box contains a header that lists your session settings (user name, current project, role, and group). Use this process to modify session settings in NX Fixture Planner.

  1. In the Study Manager dialog box header, click a session setting. For example, click the project.

  2. Select a different session setting (in this example, a project) from the drop-down list.

    • Study Manager refreshes the page with data for the setting you selected.

    • After you select a new session setting, any new data you create (for example, a study or station) is affected by the selected session. For example, if you select a different project and create a new station, that station is assigned to the project you selected.

    • When you close this session, the next time you open Study Manager, the session settings you selected are applied.
