Link

Micromine Origin & Beyond integration with Micromine Nexus requires a connection to a server. The URL you specify will either be an external address (cloud) or a local address (on premises).

The Server URL of the Nexus server is nexus.micromine.com for all users (except on-premises users). Click Sign In to connect to Nexus. A Sign Out option is available instead when a link is active.

For On Premises users, the Nexus Administrator will have set the correct URL for your connection.

Request an account from your Nexus administrator, who will provide you with the credentials you need to sign-in.

Please note: If you have not yet created a Nexus project, you will need to sign-in to Nexus (from your Internet browser) and create a project prior to using the Link option.

6. Use the options on the Home tab, in the Nexus group, to manage your connection to the linked Nexus project.

When you have linked your Nexus project, it is active within your Micromine Origin & Beyond instance. For this reason, when you are closing MMO&B, you may receive a warning if a background task is still running:

Details of the task/s in operation are available at the foot of the message. You can select Yes or No to decide if you want to continue closing the project.

If a running task cannot be closed, you will be informed with a further message and asked to proceed with closing the project or cancel it and return.
