Install UG NX 6 x32 bit in Windows 7 x64 bit.(Step by Step Guide)

From a long time the readers of CAD Help Center are still searching the solution for installation process of Unigraphics (UG NX 5 or NX 6) in Windows Vista (x32 or x64 bit).

After a long time now I have got a chance to try to install and see the errors while installation or running the UG NX 6 in Windows 7 x64 bit. I was unable to get Windows Vista to try out the UG NX 5 or NX 6, but I have seen that the Windows 7 is up-gradation in Windows Vista.

This is not the final version of Windows 7 but I have got a Genuine copy of this Windows 7 Ultimate x64(Check the screen shot).Can say best ever operating system till today. This is ultra fast to work like copy, paste, installation or uninstallation of a programs,Graphics and other features.



I hope that if the UG NX 6 is running in Windows 7, it will also work in Vista in both.(32 or 64 bit).And also UG NX 5 will work like this in Vista.


So here i am writing the procedure of how I install UG NX 6 and configured license file and others files.

• Mount or Open the Image in Image Drive. (like Nero or Ultra ISO)
• Auto Play will start Installation Automatically.
  
• If Auto Play will not work then open the Image Drive and Double click on Launch file.
• First of all install the License Server.(This is same as in my previous Post : See here )
• Note that in all versions of x64 bit Windows, if the software you are installing is x32 bit, this will be installed by default in Program files (x86) like. (C:\Program Files (x86)\UGS\UGSLicensing\)
• After finishing the installation of License Server click on Install NX.

• Select English(United States) as setup Language or select as of your Windows Language.
  
• Installation will begin and ask you for Setup Type select Typical and click Next.
• Choose Destination Folder as per your own choice. By default it is (D:\Program Files (x86)\UGS\NX 6.0\) . After Destination Folder selection click on Next.

• During Licensing check that the port is set at your computer name. Like 28000@Your Computer Name.(Click here to Know your Host Name, Computer Name, Host-ID)

• Select the NX Language as your Operating System or Windows Language.
• Then if you are ready to install the program click Install or if you want to modify any setting then click Back.
• This will start the installation of the program on your Computer. Just wait till the installation wizard Install UG NX 6.
• After installation finish run UG from program list or restart your computer and run UG from program list.
  

If you are installing from the image downloaded by torrent, you have to follow the installation steps provided with the crack, like copy the over cracked files etc.

• The UG NX 6 will work fine in Windows 7 x64 bit as shown below.

Hope that this will help you to run this great software in a great Windows.

Let me know if you have any issue during installation or running.

Drafting Shortcut & Symbol for I-DEAS for better Productivity

I know that I-DEAS software have not any future and any further development was stopped, but if you are a regular or ex user of this master software then there are some useful tips for you.

There are the Drafting Shortcut & Symbol for I-DEAS software. These can be used as Tips for better or fast working or you can say if you have knowledge of these shortcuts you can finish your task in a very productive way. So try them if you are a regular user of I-DEAS.

Using Special Symbols

You can use special symbols in your drawing, including Greek symbols, international characters, and special numbers. Most of these are generated by preceding a keyboard entry with "@" , which is defined as a special character flag.

When your cursor is in an alphanumeric field, there are three predefined keys that don't require an "@" symbol for access:

\ (the "backslash" character) displays as a plus/minus sign (also jumps fields)

| (the "pipe" character) displays as a diametral (Ø)

' (the "backquote" character) displays as a degree (°)

The following figure shows, on the right side of each key, the Simplex font special symbols
available:

The following figure shows, on the right side of each key, the Greek font special symbols available:

Note: IGES 1001, IGES 1002, and IGES 1003 text fonts don't support these special symbols.

Using the @ Symbol

To use the special symbols, enter @ before pressing the special symbol. @ initiates the special symbol keyboard.

Note: You can use Shift-F7 to produce the @ symbol.

For example, to use the Greek letter mu, press @ (or Shift-F7) and then 2. The @2 text string appears in the prompt area, but the symbol mu appears on the drawing.

To use a symbol on the top, right of a key, press @, the Shift key, and then the symbol. The @ symbol is not used with the predefined keys unless you want them to appear in their original form. To use the @ in a string rather than initiate a special symbol, enter @@.

@ and backslash symbols work as follows:

• if you type "\" you get "±"

• if you type "@ \" you get \

• if you type "@@" you get "@"

• if you type "@@ \" you get "@±"

Special Usage Note for German and Swedish Characters

German and Swedish umlauts and the German estset character display correctly when they're constructed using @ combinations. However, when they're input directly with keyboard mapping, they will only display correctly if the following X default setting exists in the .SDRC_IDEAS file:

Main*allow_umlauts: FALSE

IGES Fonts for CADAM-Read Mapping

Most I-DEAS Drafting text fonts can be mapped to the CADAM special characters. The text fonts covered are:

• IGES 1001

• IGES 1002

• IGES 1003

IGES 1001 Text Font

This keyboard layout shows the standard characters and symbols associated with the IGES 1001 text font. All lowercase alphabetic characters will be printed as something else. For example, a lowercase r is printed as a concentricity symbol:

IGES 1002 Text Font

This keyboard layout shows the standard characters and symbols associated with the IGES 1002 text font. All lowercase alphabetic characters will be printed as something else. For example, a lowercase r is printed as a right arrow:

IGES 1003 Text Font

This keyboard layout shows the standard characters and symbols associated with the IGES 1003 text font. All lowercase alphabetic characters will be printed as something else. For example, a lowercase r is printed as a concentricity symbol:

Hope that this will be helpful to existing and new users of I-DEAS. software.

Give Your Windows PC a Boost for CAD or FEA Program

Its not only thinking, its a realty and i have realized it on my personal computer. eBoostr is a program who boost my PC.

I have a PC with P4 2.66 GHz Dual Core and 1 GB RAM.

I was facing little problem of speed when working on my favorite programs. But now i am very confidant and tension free about performance of my Computer, because its working very fine.

The main benefit of this program is increase in PC performance when using any CAD or FEA program.

So i just only say that lets try this at least once and its totally free of cost. This may can also save your money to buy a hi fi configuration Computer or Laptop.

Its main benefit are you can use this program with any type of memory or with Computer or Laptop.

System Requirements for this program:

* Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000*, Windows 2003 Server, Windows 2008 Server, Windows 7 RC (all 32 and 64 bit systems supported)
* USB 2.0 port version or memory card reader
* Flash drive or memory card with at least 2.5 MB/sec random read speed

* Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 and Update Rollup 1 for SP4 are required.

You can download full featured version here.


The trial version have some time limitation, but i think these are not a problem when using this great program in trail mode because the trial version has no time expiration(license) and you can evaluate it for as long as you wish. However the product demo is fully functional only for 4 hours after each system boot. This will allow you to evaluate the product and estimate how it performs on your configuration. After 4 hour just restart your computer or laptop and the feature is ready for use. By doing this you can save your lot of time.

We all know that after 4 hour we all just taking tea or coffee, lunch or dinner etc. so during this time you can reboot your system.

But when you are running a FEA program check that if your simulation will completed in 4 hour or it will take some more time?
If its a time taking simulation then you just try out this program and check whether its beneficial for you or not?
If yes then buy its full version.

So lets test drive this utility and leave your feedback for others.

Know your Server Name, Host ID, Computer Name, Mac Address

Hi friends,

Here some of you are confused in these terms (Server Name, Host ID, Computer Name, Mac Address).

So don't be confused in these terms, because these all are related to nearly all CAD software's. But in UG we always use Server Name or Computer Name.

Some of you are confused for how to know Server Name or Computer Name for your personal computer or any other PC connected to any other network (LAN,WAN etc.)

To know these above terms related to your PC follow these steps as shown in Pic also:

1. Open Command Prompt. (Run>cmd >enter)
2. Type ipconfig/all >enter.
















Here Host Name is your Server Name or Computer Name. Like (Complete_Name)
Physical Address is your Host ID or Mac Address. Like (01-1C-76-99-D5-11)

Note that : Before installing any CAD package you should confirm that your PC have LAN Card driver installed.


and update the first line in your license file in your Pc like this :

Old one :

SERVER this_host ID=20080618 28000

New one :

SERVER prashanth ID=20080618 28000@prashanth

you will only need to replace this_host with your Server Name or Computer Name.
and add @Server Name or Computer Name after 28000 (port value)


For example for the details shown above in the picture, the first line will be like this:

SERVER Computer_name ID=20080618 28000@Computer_name


For further assistance please have a look at:

1. UG license installation error solution
2. Know your Computer Host ID
3. UG license server error in UG NX5 and NX6
4. License Server not Found Error Solution for UG NX Series
5. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE and Port Value Problem Solution
6. INVALID (INCONSISTENT) LICENSE KEY OR SIGNATURE ERROR

Hope that your confusion will be solved.
So don't be tense, here is solution for your all CAD problems...........Have a nice day.....

INVALID (INCONSISTENT) LICENSE KEY OR SIGNATURE ERROR

Hi dear friends,

First of all sorry for late reply to all. I am little bg in my other work, and secondly working on the problem commented by you.
(NX LICENSE ERROR: INVALID(INCONSISTENT) LICENSE KEY OR SIGNATURE,
THE LICENSE KEY/SIGNATURE AND DATA FOR THE FEATURE DO NOT MATCH")

now let me explain you my experience on this particular problem.
I myself failed to generate this error, tried too many tricks and methods.

But yesterday one of my friends (Amit) told me that he is facing a problem in ProE Wildfire 4 named: INVALID (INCONSISTENT) LICENSE KEY OR SIGNATURE.

So i reached to his room to find out the reasons behind this error. after working on his PC and the processes to solve this error I was failed to find the real reason which generate this type of error,

But :

final result was satisfactory for us.

and he is happy because ProE Wildfire 4 is working on his PC, properly without any error.

now i don't know what mistake he has done but, I just uninstall the program and reinstall the same with proper license configuration method posted previously here on this blog.

So i will just suggest you that please uninstall the program via Add/Remove Program from your PC.

Reinstall the same software or program by following the proper method of configuration to configure the license file.

hope that your problem will be solved, if not then please let me know via comments.

and please leave some lines of your license file just like this, so that i can check is there any problem in lic. file or not :

License Server not Found Error Solution for UG NX Series

Hello Dear All,

Again here i got mails from the blog readers having problems in installation of Unigraphics,Ansys,Pro Engineer etc.

During installation we need to configure License File via. License server installed in our Personal Computer(PC) or Laptop.

I have already posted the step by step procedure for License file Configuration here.

But either by user mistake or via improper method some of users will get the errors, that License Server not Found during configuration via lmtools.exe

So here I am posting solution for that, open lmtools.exe that will show you the following image.

At step (A) Here in this image the UGS License Server is running properly (B)

if in yours this is not, then go to step (C) and create and save a new license server.



1. Here you will see the Service Name: UGS License Server (ugslmd)

2. Click on browse and select the file lmgrd.exe in your PC : C:\Program Files\UGS\UGSLicensing\lmgrd.exe

3. Click on browse and select the license file in your PC : C:\Program Files\UGS\UGSLicensing\ugs2.lic

4. Click on browse and select the debug log file in your PC : C:\Program Files\UGS\UGSLicensing\ugslicensing.log

If debug log file is not there then create a text document and rename it with ugslicensing.log

5. Enable (Check mark) Start server at Power Up.

6. Use services same as shown.

7. Click Save Service.








Then restart the Computer and run lmtools.exe, check the status at (B) you will get UGS License Server.

Then go to my other post and configure license file via this UGS License Server.

For configuration in UG NX5 and UG NX6 click here

For configuration in UG NX4 to NX1 click here

Now enjoy and You can use the same procedure in Ansys or Pro Engineer or any other software which is using Lmtools license.
