      </table><br><p class="para_topic">Wizard Builder needs to know which template parts are available to the NX session, and which objects in those template parts it can use to create new objects. This information is customer-specific. If you have customized templates, you must export them to an XML file, <b class="literalText">manufacturing_template.xml</b>, as described below, prior to using the Manufacturing Wizard Builder. Manufacturing Wizard Builder reads this XML file when creating a wizard.
      </p>
      <p class="para_topic">NX exports all template part files to <b class="literalText">$UGII_CAM_TEMPLATE_PART_DIR</b>. The software exports the subdirectory associated with the unit of the part that is active at the time you start the export (inch or metric). Any additional template parts that have been loaded using the <b class="uiTerm">Browse...</b> feature are not written to the XML file.
      </p>
      <p class="para_topic">To export the template part files to XML, proceed as follows:</p>
      <ol type="1" start="1">
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">In NX, enter the <b class="uiTerm">Manufacturing</b> application.

         </li>
         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Select <b class="uiTerm">File</b> &rarr; <b class="uiTerm">Export</b> &rarr;<b class="uiTerm">Wizard Template Data</b>. The system opens a file selection dialog.

         <li>
            <p class="para_item">Select the Simulation Process Studio installation directory, <i class="pathName">...\NX installation files\PSSTUDIO</i>. This is where the Manufacturing Wizard Builder looks for the XML file containing the template information.
