Hi guys,
I am using NX 11 and I programed a motion simulation with animation but in the video you can still see the names of the part files (see image attached). Can someone please tell me how to hide them in the motion navogator or at least in the video? I can't seem to figure it out on my own...
Thanks!
Hello
This functionality is in Autodesk Inventor and it is very usefull.
Now I am using NX11 (no TC)
Can I type custom attributes for parts (or modifications) in NX from BOM, parts list?
It is much more convenient to type data in a BOM or parts list table than to edit these parameters in individual parts. Of course, changing the values in the parts list automatically changes the attributes in Parts.
I don't want to change material or mass attributes. The goal is to modify the custom attributes .
Notes, manufacture technology, supplier, status.
This functionality in Autodesk Inventor is very convenient.
I attempted to create a point in a datum CSYS associatively, but failed:
How can I do it? Thanks!
While in the Sketch Task Environment, and with "Continuous Auto Dimensioning" off, I've noticed that NX will still generate a dimension for an entity (like a line) if I type in a length value. If I don't type a value, it doesn't do that. Is this normal behavior? Is there a way to disable it, if I want? Thanks.
Hello
3 year computer leasing ended again and I'm now with a new PC Win10 (from Win7).
How to set NX license to the new computer from environment variables or so ?
TC launches normally.
Hallo to all,
i have a problem with exporting a STEP data from NX.
What i do is, export, STEP (214), and when everything is done, when i try to import STP data, one part of the assembly is missing. Could someone help my with this problem?
I would really appreciate any kind of help!
Best regards,
Milica
Hi,
after inserting the balloon, it's not more possible to edit the form type. Also on NX12.
Exist an ER to be addressed?
Hello,
So, I have a part family component with a few user attributes as follow:
My idea is read and change those parameters for each instance in one assembly.
First I have the following journal to read those attributes, but I don't know why it's not working. What i'm doing wrong?
Inherited parameters like TOOL_ID I can read with no problem, but custom ones shows as "not existent"

Hi, I'm having a problem.
At the time of plotting with my HP T120 from the NX the printable area is reduced to 8.5x11 ", the plotter has a tray for A4 and A3 sheets as well as 24" roll loading, in any of the formats I try to print on Printable area is always the same.
Attached shows plotting on an A3 sheet (the drawing should enter an A4 sheet) and plotter properties and settings.
Some of the tests that I have already done is to modify the margins and even eliminate them, without achieving any improvement.
Thank you very much, and apologize if it is poorly written, eh translated the text with a Google translator.
Hello all!
I am new on here, and excited for our company to be a part of the NX community. I just got back from the great PLM world, and thought I would try this out.
This is a real life case of....'We could use advice' What are others doing out there for this? Here is the question and application:
[First let me state, we are newer to NX. We designed aircraft in the past in Creo. Regardless, this is NX, and we are hoping it handles mfg states,.....things much better in this regard.]
So picture a simple bracket, that has small holes in it. In the real world (mfg), this bracket is placed on a structure member, and then "match Drilled" durring final assembly on the floor, (meaning with a bigger holes), to some strut or piece of structure. That structure piece (mating piece) now also has holes in it (at that level in time). So that basically 'alters' two parts right?
We want to simulate this process in the CAD world. We want to have assembly level holes, or cuts to exist where they need to be AT THE LEVELthey need to be in the NX assembly. If you open the part it has smaller holes, if you open it in the context of its assembly, it has larger holes...etc. right?
So to recap:
Parts by themselves, when modeled, purchased etc in a bag, have small holes.
When we assemble, we match drill, to bigger holes (now modifying it) at a certain stage in the process.....
So we are looking for "Component States" and how you people out there deal with this at various levels of an assembly. We are VERY interested in ANY feedback on what peopel are doing for this. MFG states in CAD has plagued a lot of my past engineering jobs, and always had ideas that CAD, well, simply could not satisfy. So, over to you guys! Help us out? thoughts? Techniques?
Thanks again ya'all!

Hello everyone!
I started making a number of complex drawings with NX12 and noticed that it makes very many unncessary view updates. Practically everything I do with any view causes all other views to update. I move one of the views - all other views update. I start a Base View dialog and chage view - all views on the sheet update. I create a projected view - all views update. I haven't done drawings in NX for quite a while but I don't remember that behaviour. What's going on? Any ideas?
