Loading parts from your last session when opening NX

It's possible to have NX load all your parts/assemblies that were open the last time you worked with NX.

First, you need to switch on the customer default "File → Utilities → Customer Defaults → Gateway → General → Part → Write Bookmark File on Exit". This will make sure that a bookmark file is written as "yourusername_last_context.plmxml" under TEMP directory.

When you want NX to load this bookmark, you can launch NX with the following command :

ugraf.exe -retrieve:%TEMP%\%username%_last_context.plmxml

Or, you could use File-Open to load the .plmxml file.
