Any clue when this will happen?  ie is it worth going to NX12, if "NX Continuous Release" will be released shortly after?

 

Can we call it NX CR for short?


Quick way to close a sketch profile?

$

0

When creating a closed profile in the Sketch Task Environment using the Profile tool, after clicking the last point to close the profile the tool will continue to draw (annoyingly). I know I can use Esc or "right-click > Ok" to end it, but I was wondering if there was a quicker way (maybe a setting that resets the tool automatically after the profile is closed?). I can't see the benefit of the current behavior, so I'm guessing there must be a better way.  Thanks!

sketch plane offset is not a parameter?

$

0
I attempt to use the sketcher to create a point in a datum CSYS.
 
I expect to put Delta_Z of the point as the sketch plane offset from ZC-plane of "S1.1_csys".
 
To my surprise, the offset of the sketch plane is not listed as a parameter of the sketch.
 
Do I miss something? Thanks!

Hallo

 

I want to scale a body which I imported as a stl file. It didn't work with the normal "scale body" function. Is there a possibility to do it? And if yes, could you please tell me step by step what I need to do since I just started working with NX.

 

Thank you already in advance

NX 12 - Phantom line for one body in drafting

Hello people,

i've been searching for all day and i am little bit desperate about it.

Problem:

I made draft from assembly. Also some views and sections and i need that one part from assembly will have phantom lines in all views. I tried a lot of settings but nothing helps me. I have also changed object settings for that part but nothing happens. Still normal line there. Can anyone help me with this? I found that i can use edit object settings but don't work and don't know why... Thank you for your help

Sometimes the OrientXpress tool can't be moved away. It's very annoying.
 
Is there a fix? Thanks!

Hello,

When I create a new Drawing View with the "Create Base View" command, the UGMASTER is autmatically pre selected!

How can I configure the "Create Base View" command, to select the UGPART automatically instead of the UGMASTER?

Move Linked Objects NX 11

$

Currently, I have two parts that are linked together with expressions, and these are part of a larger assembly.  As I move one of the parts, I want the other part to mirror the motion of the first part so that both are moving at the same time.  However, when I move the first part some distance, the other part does not move at all until I click apply on the move dialog box.  Then, the second part relocates to its new position.  The same is true when I attempt to move the part within the assembly constraint  dialog box.  I am wondering if there is anyway for NX to mirror the motion in real time so you can see the second part move as you drag the first part.

 

Thanks in advance

View Scale

Hi there,

 

Is there a way to take the View Scale instead Sheet Scale?

 

I've been using that syntax to take it:

SCALE <W@$SH_SHEET_SCALE_NUMERATOR>:<W@$SH_SHEET_SCALE_DENOMINATOR>

 

But all times that I place the view I need to edit Sheet Scale.

copy X/Y/Z of a point to clipboard?

Measure Point can give X/Y/Z of a point.
 
Is there a quick way to copy the three numbers cleanly to the clipboard?
 
If yes, I can then simply paste the position to another point. (See the trick of handing the expression editor as a spreadsheet taught by )
 
Thanks!

Auto Scrolling in Assembly Navigator

$

Hello All,

 

I have a question regarding Assembly Navigator.  When selecting a part from the screen, the corresponding part highlights on the Assembly Navigator; however, the screen does not automatically scroll so you can see what part was selected.  You have to do this manually.  

 

I used Command Finder to search for "scroll" and found an entry under Assembly Navigator Properties that said "Defines properties for he Assembly Navigator window, such as automatic scrolling, font colors for the parent and child objects...."  When I opened the dialog, I see nothing about automatic scrolling.  

 

Is there a way to have Assembly Navigator automatically scroll (including expanding structure) to the part you select on the screen.

In playing video on this forum, the image would be blured upon pausing. Sometimes if you want to examine something closely, you would be driven crazy and forced to manage to download the video. It seems that some small tweaks would get it fixed.


Studio Spline > Polygon > Step Value not work?

To edit a spline, Step Value is a good tool. Whenever it's availabe, I would try to use it.
 
But when Movement is set to Polygon, clicking Step Value +/- does not move the pole.
 
Is anything wrong? Thanks

Change the direction of a conveyor via input parameters

Hello,

 

for a Student-Project we designed a Model of a sorting plant. It's running and connected to SIMIT and TIAv14.

While running our simulation we noticed that our guideline wants the conveyor running backwards or forwards on a klick on the HMI-Panel.

 

We tried negative speed but as its an unsigned integer it just sets the maximum speed.

We have to change the vector direction of the conveyor but it this possible via input parameters?

 

 

I'm thankfull for every answer

 

Regards,

 Laura

 

PS: I hope I chose the right sub-forum

Edit Polygon?

$

Is it possible to edit an existing polygon using the Polygon dialog?  I have an NX11 book I've been working through, and it says I should be able to double click the polygon constraint symbol at the center of polygon to open the Polygon dialgo for editing.  But when I try that it doesn't work.  So I'm wondering if that could be a mistake. Is it? Thanks.

fit a curve for class A

The scenario below should be very familiar to surfacing people.
 
It's to approximate an original curve (Oiriginal_Pink) with 5 segments: three simple splines (degree=2) and two fillets (degree=5). As far as what I've learnt until now, basically it need be done by pure manual work. The results by different people at different time might be signicantly different.
 
I wonder whether there's a mathematically optimal route to do the job.
 
Thank you for your comments!

extract an edge for reparameterization

$

It's a pity that Fit Curve > Fit Spline doesn't accept an edge as the source.
 
To simplify an edge, I attempt to use Extract Geometry > Composite Curve > Advanced Curve Fit > Degree and Segment.
 
But as shown below, when I set Degree = 2 and Segments = 1, what I get is Degree = 2 and Segments = 5.
 
Do I misunderstand how Advanced Curve Fit works? Thanks!
