This procedure assumes you have completed the steps in Beginning the installation. The installation wizard should currently display the Load 'Sample Resource' for Module(s) dialog box.
Procedure
- Specify which sample data you want to load. You can choose from the following:

Machines Currently, sample machines are no longer delivered with the MRL kit. Sample machines must be imported manually from the NX directory.
Fixtures (New in MRL 6.0) Imports sample fixture components.
Measuring Devices Imports sample CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machines) and probing tools.
Factory Resources Imports sample records used for the Factory Resources classification.
Factory Conveyors Imports sample records used for the Factory Resources classification.
Factory Robots Imports sample records used for the Factory Resources classification.
Factory Weld Guns Imports sample records used for the Factory Resources classification.
Machining Data Library Imports technology data, such as materials and feeds and speeds records, for the Machining Data Library.
- Load the sample data for the specified modules by selecting the corresponding item type for each module. The item types you select here must already exist in the database. For a list of existing item types, move the cursor into the dialog box and press F1.You must specify the internal item type. This name can be different from the displayed item type name.
