Presentation Title: Configuring Check-Mate to Enhance User Experience
Who: Ric Hotchkiss, Principal Design Automation Architect
When: Monday, May 13th @ 2:45 PM in Breakers L
About: Check-Mate is a powerful tool for checking NX model quality, validating conditions such as layers, drafting standards, modeling practices, reference sets and more. The huge list of out-of-the-box checks can be a bit overwhelming. Using Check-Mate is easier for users when checks are grouped into profiles that are configured to simplify how checks are presented to the user. The following topics will be presented:
- Defining the Check-Mate environment variables
- Setting Check-Mate Customer Defaults
- Creating and maintaining profiles interactively
- Configuring Check-Mate to simplify the results presentation
Presentation Title: NX Programming Tools Roundtable
Who: Ric Hotchkiss, Principal Design Automation Architect
When: TBD
About: NX provides extensive programming tools that can be used to customize and automate NX processes. This session will be an open discussion regarding the current state of NX programming tools functionality (NX/Open, Journals, SNAP, Knowledge Fusion). The following topics will be presented:
- Programming tool best practices and successes
- Programming tool issues
- Desired enhancements
Presentation Title: Improve Efficiency with Advanced Automation using NX Open
Who: Ric Hotchkiss, Principal Design Automation Architect
When: Tuesday, May 14th @ 10:30 AM in Breakers L
About: NX is an extremely powerful CAX tool. It can be further enhanced by writing custom code to automate repeated or complex tasks. Configuring, developing and implementing NX/Open applications can be complicated. The following topics will be presented:
- NX Automation production environment and directory structure
