Is it possible to export a convergent body as a parasolid or STP file? It can be exported as an .STL
Any feedback would be appreciated, thank you.

Assembly constraints, Next higher level references possible?
Hello, While working in a sub-assembly of a larger assembly, is it possible to add components to the sub-assembly but have them reference features in the main assembly? For example, If the screw and DIN rail pictured below were in a sub-assembly, could I reference the hole that is in main assembly? I'd like for the mounting hardware to reference the mounting holes, that way - if the holes locations move, the screws would move too. Thanks

Cutout normal to surface
I have a square tube with a lines path along its inner surfaces I want to create a cutout to remove material from the lines to one end of the tube, I need the cutout to be normal to surface. Part is not a sheet. What is the quicker/best tool to do that? I mean something like normal cutout in Solidedge.

Hiding the background data of part file while adding into the assembly
Hello all,
Just wanted to know like, is there any option to hide the background data of any part when we add it into the assembly.
Also whenever I edit the part from the assembly the background data(Lines, Surfaces, Solids, datums etc..) will show up. Everytime I have to hide the background data.Is there anyway to solve this?
Thanks for the time,

Books recomendation for mesh quality, post processing and FEM
Could you give me some recomendations on books about mesh quality, post-processing and finit element method, etc. (if related to NX is even better).
Or how to use the NX tools: Jacobians ratio, Aspect ratio, Skew angle, Taper, Corner Angle, etc
Thx.

Unresolved external symbol for newly added API in spreadsheetexternal class in NXOpen
Hello,
I have added new function "mergeCell" in NXCore side in spreadsheet.cxx class. Now I am trying to expose same function in NXOpen in spreadsheetexternal class. I added implementation .ja, jax and jautil file.
I build the code using below
DO_JA_RECOMPILES 1
DO_SOURCE_RECOMPILES 1
DO_PROJ_RECOMPILE_API_CHECK 1
DO_RECOMPILE_API_CHECK 1
DO_KF_TABLES 1
BUILD_NXOPENCPP 1
BUILD_NXOPENJAVA 1
BUILD_NXOPENPYTHON 1
BUILD_KFBINDINGS 1
Now the corresponding new API is reflecting in my "drv\nxopencpp\no\ind\NXOpen_SpreadsheetExternal.cxx" . but when I call this function using spreadsheetexternal object, it giving me an error - "Unresolved external symbol".
When I try to call already existed API, they are working fine but newly added API is not working fine.
kindly suggest the solution.
Thanks in advance.

Reuse library in NX12/TC
I think NX12 allows to use native parts in managed assemblies. If that is true, Is it possible to add part from native reuse libraries to managed NX12?

spline with delicate details
I'm not sure whether this post raises questions you've already answered me for many times previously. If so, please let me say sorry!
As you know, a curve from designers' hand sketch may often have some very delicate details. Such kind of of curves are sometimes be regarded as "sexy", and loss of even a small detail might make it "plain" or even ugly.
To repoduce a designer's hand drawing curve precisely in the model, may often lead to a dilema:
- good pole structure + many segments or
- ugly pole strucure + single segments
As I learnt from many of you, both the ugly pole structure and many segments would be trouble for surfacing.
It seems that I have no choice but to spend huge amount of time to try again and again to get a balanced segment/pole without loss of some key details. Is there any simple principle I should stick to?
Hope to have your suggestions. Even very few words would be appreciated!

Associative Pattern For Object
Hello,
My name is Gualda and I have a question about NX10. I have an object and I would like to do and associative pattern following a matrix or a datum. Firstly what I have tried is to do directly a Copy, but it doesn’t have the possibility to be associative which the first object, which should be the master. I show in the next picture P_1.
Also I have tryed creating a featured group and using featured pattern, but it also affected to the original object, chaning the geometry as you can see in picture P_2.
There isnt any comand special for object?
Thanks!!!

Saving Silhouettes from Static Wireframe View
Is there a way to extract the silhouettes that are generated when looking at a Faceted Body in the Static Wireframe Mode? I'm doing reverse engineering from 2D imagery and would like to be able to compute some accuracy metrics from these silhouettes... but I can't seem to get ahold of them to get their positions on the Body.

Model looks hollow
Dear All,
I have made a model which suddenly appears like it is hollow. But it still behaves like a solid model (weigth normal, selecting is normal).
After I made some changes to the model it somehow changed to a hollow looking model. And now even after the first extrude action it already looks hollow.
It must be a graphical thing I would say. Updating, cleanup and restarting doesn't help.
What could it be?

NX CAD/CAM & Drafting help (NX11/12)
Hello fellow NX users.
We have few problems using NX CAD/CAM and NX Drafting features in NX11. Since I could not get any satisfied answers nowhere I’m turning to this forum to find out how did other EXPERIENCED users use NX.
First I would like to mention that I/we have been using NX for appx. 17years. And also others in my company (some even longer).
I’ll be referring to NX 8, which is to our experience the last NX that work flawlessly, fluid and is actually useful. For that reason we still do not use other NX versions above NX8, like NX 11 or 12. (Although we have paid for the license!! But are useless to use!! We are frustrating!)
(I will post NX Cam problems in CAM section.)
So now I would like to know how others are dealing with the situation.
First I will point out “drafting” environment.
Who did drawings and use drafting in NX8 will know what I’m talking about. Its hard to describe in words. Simply, the rapid dimension command in NX11 (or NX 12) do not work flawlessly and fluid as it works in NX8.
Ill point out just a few. Example 1. First you already have to have two dimensions as in picture below (dimension made to point in the center of an object. Let us say, this is an “erosion electrode”). If you want to make additional simple dimension and 1st select an edge (not edge point) and then select e.g. point (in the center) it won’t allow you to snap the point.
Instead it will most likely snap the dimension line and not allowing to snap the point at center. And then the dialog appears. In some rear-strange occasions the snap will work at point.
This is just one minor thing. In overall, the dimension and the workflow is not near as fluid as in NX 8.
There are bunch of those small details that are irritating and consume a lot of time if you do more complex drawings. It would take too much time to describe all of them.
There is also the »escape« button, which in NX 11 case cancels the whole operation, instead only one step. (if you click dimension, and want to correct the click, (in NX8) simply press ESC and re-click the new desired point/object for the dimension. This is not the case in NX11/12, because it cancels the whole command and you have to do all over again).
And what is THE MOST FRUSTRATING is, that »zoom« is restored to point where you made start click of the dimension command.
This is so FRUSTRATING, that my hairs get electrified!!! Can please anyone tell me the benefits of this idiotic feature??
Those who did not try to make drawings in NX 8, pleas do it. It is such a joy to work with it, compared to NX 11.
Second, the “modelling”. There are also some things that are downgrade in NX11/12, compared to NX8. I’ll point out one small example.
When using “bounding body” command. In NX8 you just click the object to make the b.box. If you want to change the offset/clearance, simply put in the value.
If you want specific side to have different value, simply click the arrow on model and put the value. It will apply only to desired/selected plane. It’s straightforward and simple in just one click!
If you want go back again for all planes to be the same, just put the value to »clearance« in the left box. Again, its straightforward and simple.
In NX11/12 its more complicated and it needs few more clicks. I wont described here, but you can try it if you do not believe.
So again … where is the enhancement??? I really do not understated from where and from whom “NX developers” get ideas for all kind of so called »enhancements« ??
This are only the minor thigs, but irritating as well. So ... any solutions?
(For all this I was using NX 11.0.0.33. (and in some cases testing NX 12)
We have much important issues in the CAM section. Ill post the errors there.
Best Regards.
