For connecting and communicating with NX models managed in local file system or Teamcenter, you will need to collect jar files from your NX installation. These jar files will be used with the Syndeia plugin for MagicDraw (section 2. 4). Follow the instructions in this section to collect these jar files.

  1. Create a folder named libNX to collect the jar files needed for NX.
  2. Go to the following location in your NX installation.
    1. For NX 9 and 10, go to the UGII folder, e.g. C:\Program Files\Siemens\NX 10.0\UGII
    2. For NX 11, go to the NXBIN folder, e.g. C:\Program Files\Siemens\NX 11.0\NXBIN
  3. Copy the following 9 jar files from the folder location above to the libNX folder created in Step 1.
    1. NXOpen.jar
    2. NXOpenRemote.jar
    3. NXOpenRun.jar
    4. NXOpenUF.jar
    5. NXOpenUFRemote.jar
    6. NXOpenUFRun.jar
    7. NXOpenUI.jar
    8. NXOpenUIRemote.jar
    9. NXOpenUIRun.jar

  4. When NX is installed, a system variable named UGII_ROOT_DIR is setup as an environment variable whose value is the location of the UGII folder in your NX installation, as shown in Figure 7 LHS figure below. If this variable does not exist, go ahead and add it.

  5. Add the following location to your PATH environment variable, as shown in the RHS figure above.
    1. For NX 9 and 10, add the following string: %UGII_ROOT_DIR% to the PATH environment variable on your Windows machine, as shown in the screenshot belowRHS figure above.
    2. For NX 11 and above, add the location of the NXBIN folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\Siemens\NX 11.0\NXBIN) instead of %UGII_ROOT_DIR% to the PATH environment variable on your Windows machine.

The instructions above are sufficient for Syndeia to interact with NX models in local file system.
