Installing and configuring the Manufacturing Resource Library
Configure
NX CMM library using the installation wizard
When you install the inspection library data, you can configure the NX Library so the new data appears in the library selection dialog boxes when you search in NX CMM for classified resources, such as tools, machines, or devices.
Perform this configuration on the client on which NX is installed. If your environment includes a shared CMM_INSPECTION directory, see Configure NX Library manually or Modifying PAX files to include MRL setup sheet templates.
Note
Before you begin installation, make sure you have the latest available version of the Manufacturing Resource Library (MRL). If a later version is available, download and extract the latest version and browse to the advanced_installations directory in the location of the extracted files.
For information about later versions, see Support Center.
