DETAILS
How can you create a user-defined material and save it to a new library?
Solution
In the Customer Defaults under Gateway -> Materials/Mass -> Locations:
Set the Site and User Material Library Format to Single MatML File (this will
need to be changed to Directory of MatML Files if more than one material
library is created).
Toggle on the Enable option.
Set a Site Material Library path/name in the Windows field under the
MatML File Name section. This file may or may not exist at this stage. It
will be the file name that you save your custom materials to.
Restart NX to enable the new defaults.
