We are trying to determine the best way of managing drawings for part family templates with Tc integration. In an ideal world, we would create a tabulated drawing at the template level and should be able to pull the table on the face of the drawing from the spreadsheet. In addition, we should be able to relate the drawing (PDF) to each family member automatically.
Is this possible? Does anyone have any experience or best practices on how to handle this scenario?
Hi all, I try to draw a studio spline with poles and Y axis which is symmetrical axis but it doesn't work. In Solidwork, I do this very quickly. Anyone here knows why?
Hi guys,
is there any option to get this informations online at the GTAC ? Not only via sfb mail? directly from splm?
cheers

Hello!
I'm looking for an expression to use on balloon notes in the PMI function in NX. I'm fairly new on using expressions and I can't seem to find anything that is applicable to PMI.
So, what I want to do with my expression is this. The user sets a value (integer) in the Balloon Text field, and I want the expression to copy the value into the Title field. Preferrably I can have a set text string before the value in the title. Basically, I want the Title field locked with the same number as the text value, with a short text before. Something like this:
Any ideas on how to do this? Perhaps this can be done with another option other than expressions, I'm open to that as well. The simpler the solution, the better.
hello,
everytime I create a view break with a 2D or 3D centerline in it, the centerline dissapears at each update.
If I uncheck the view break in the part navigator, I can see it, but when I reactivate the view break, it dissapears again.
So everytime I update my view, I have to create another 3D centerline and re-attach the dimensions.
Solution anyone??
I received some Scanned data that I need to create a binder and addendum from.
The data came in surfaced, not faceted like I was expecting. I've cut some sections with the intent of rebuilding and extending the outer edges and recreating a real blend and flange surface. but its not working so well.
I'm working in NX 11. attached is a section of the part as I cannot share the whole part on a public forum.
any suggestions?
edited to add math attachment.
Hi everybody
I`m wondering, if is possible create my own "Automation Drawing" template, something similar as Electrode Drawing, but for common component, not only for Electrode components.
My idea is to have template with predefined views, maybe some dimensions and notes. When I use this template for selected component, all views will be generated automatically with dimensions, notes and title block.
hi all,
what i have made is a basic AC unit (basically just an extruded sketch) and i would like to add that into my assembly using the PTS author.
i managed to get the PTS author to determine the dimensions of my unit when i drag it from my library however, what i would then like to do is make the PTS author pull up an extra constraints dialog box so that i can place it where i want within the assembly.
i know i could just place the constraints manually, but thats not the point, i want the PTS author to do it so that placing my AC unit is more simple.
basically, is this possible? if so, how?
thank you very much, Kris.
Hi
we are heavily into Reference Sets here for defining what we see in an assembly in terms of Datums, Sketches, and more importantly parts that have been deformed (springs, Washers, Flexible PCB’s, etc). We have been using NX/UG for 25 years hence how we work.
Moving forward we want to use Teamcenter for viewing JT assemblies, but owing to the way they are constructed (JT’s)i.e. from TC BOM, the Reference sets cause us an issue as all of the data gets dragged in. So our Teamcenter generated JTs can contain multiple representations of our models, Flat, Formed, Long, short, etc.
Has anyone else come accross similar issues, and how did they resolve?
Is it:
Reference Sets
AltReps
Deformable parts
or something else
Also what about our legacy data? How can we correct?
Regards
Hello
We have just upgraded to 12.1 w/ Teamcenter 11.2
When I go to create a new model, from when I hit the 'new' button it takes 90+seconds before it will ask me if I want a model/assembly/etc.. If I pick model, it's another 30 seconds until I can start sketching.
Is this normal? We were on NX7.5 / TC 8.2 previously and it was about as slow, but I figured it was because we were on such a primitive version, but it's at least as slow on the upgrade.
My PC is only 5 months old Intel Xeon 3.5 GHz 8 GB ram.
Thanks for your help.
Hey guys!
My part list is showing non unique (and integers times 10) numbers, as shown on the picture below. Any idea on how to solve this?
Dear Siemens PLM Customer,
NX 11.0.2 MP07 is an accumulation of fixes built for installation on top of Windows 64-Bit and Linux 64-Bit images of NX 11.0.2.
To select the release package(s) for your platform(s) click on the following link or enter the URL in your browser address window:
https://download.industrysoftware.automation.sieme
Note: A valid WebKey account is required.
From the Download page, enter “11.0.2.mp07” (including the quotes) in the Search box to see a list of links for the release letter and available release packages.
Alternatively, the release packages can be found using the file navigator by selecting ‘NX’ from the menu on the left and then expand the following folders: Product updates > Maintenance-packs > Nx11 > [platform].
Sincerely,

I am working with files that have lots of fine details in larger parts. The process of integrating the complex geometry details into
larger parts or assemblies is grinding to a snails pace. I see my machine only using 1 of 8 cores to work and it has been running a
unite selection step (after a pattern) for many hours. Is there a list of what processes use SMP? Is this bound by GPU? Can i use a
surrogate "BLOCK" intead of my rectangular object then later bring in the internal complexity to the process, speeding things up?
I am after time saving tips here. Maybe phased replacements would make this magically fast other than a final step of part
replacement? Maybe a setting is slowing me down? Is there a list somewhere of SMP and non-SMP functions/processes?

I'm new to NX and have the basic Mach Advantage package. Does this packing include any sort of rendering capabilities? I tried using several of the tools on the rendering tab but to no avail (and some indicated a license was needed). So I'm guessing not, but just wanted to be sure befored dropping it.
Thanks.
I keep running into an error message when opening files in NX 11.0.0 that were created in NX 11.0.2 and keep getting an error message "Cannot open part. It contains a trim curve feature created in a future version that is incompatible with this version." This seemed a little odd to me - I would have thought V11 would open pretty much any V11 file - has anyone else run into this issue? Is it simply because I am trying to open in 11.0.0 or is there another issue? Any input would be appreciated - trying to get our IT gurus to install the latest maintenance packs, but they are always running behind and can be stubborn to install new software.
Thanks

What is the most efficient way of merging multiple convergent bodies/facets from a 3D scan?
the following commands only handle 2 convergent bodies/facets at a time
"Merge disjoint
Merge overlapping
Merge touching
Hi,
wired thing. since a few days this situation appears while loading a released part in teamcenter. we use NX9.03 MP15 and Teamcenter 10. and then it comes up while loading in with "Given matrix is not from the required part"
If i have an assembly opend and i load another on this error occurs. If i load the fail part standalone the same error occurs. if i load structure only it works. But only if i start to laod parts. Same error
Any ideas where this error comes from? How can i fix it?
Could not find anything with google, here or
Hi good people of the community,
something very strange has happened, all the feature names have somehow gotten mixed up, they are all written in capitals and are displayed differently in the navigator.
For example: Mirror geometry is now geometry instance, tube is cable... but in the menu, toolbars and when editing a feature the name is as it should be.
Anyone have any idea how this could have happened and how to fix it?
As to my knowledge, there were ne updates made.
Current version is NX 11.0.1.11 MP2 and TC 11.2.3.
Hi,
we don't use Teamcenter, but we have used so I know how works with JT file. Anyway, we export for each NX parts the relative JT. For Assembly, we export in "MONOLITHIC" options. This solution create big file.
Exist the opportunity to export assembly to JT in the manner that when an user open the assembly JT file with JTtoGO, the software load components in a specific folder and relative subfolder like using the load options.def ?
