We have a standard part file that we use to generate models and the drafting document. We have upgraded this part file recently, especially the drafting side. So if I want to take an older version of a design and apply the new drafting set-up is there a way of doing this without redrawing the model or importing a parasolid or it and re-dimensioning it?
Thank you, Rick
I'm a new NX user that is coming from a really strong background in Solidworks. If I came across this problem in SW, I'd eventually figure out how to fix it. However, I'm banging my head against a wall with NX.
I have two bodies in a part file. I want to subtract one body from another to create an internal volume that perfection matches the subtracting tool body. When I use the SUBTRACT function, I keep getting an error that says, "Intersecting target and tool faces may have problems that cause intersections gaps. Examine Geometry can be used to find problematic faces."
You can see in the two attached images which part is the tool and which part is the target, what setting I am using in the SUBTRACT operation, and then an image showing the error and the faces it is indicating are the problem.
When I use Examine Geometry, per the error, the analysis does not highlight any problems. I'm super confused what to do here. I have tried increasing and decreasing the tolerance of the subtract. I have tried offsetting some of the faces so there is more and less interference between the two parts.
I'd love it if anyone could provide some ideas how to work around this or solve it! I'm sorry that I cannot post the part file or show more detail of the design; it is very confidential.
I loaded a NX Thermal V10 model into NX Thermal V11 to run and make sure there weren't any major analysis differences. When I tried to solve the model I got an NX2TMG Fatal Error 1795: The model XML file was created in a newer version of NX than the solver version used. A newer solver version should be used instead. And at the top of the log file it shows it is grabbing the V10 TMG Thermal/Flow solver when it should be grabbing the V11 solver. I have searched to see if there was something in the model or even in customer defaults where you ca select a version, but nothing.
Hello, all
I would like to find out how to change value Snap (see screenshot) by default let`s say to 25 mm

Does somebody know where this setting can be found?
I'm looking for advice on how best to deal with what I think is a common modeling situation.
I have an assembly, M, with two subassemblies, S1 and S2. S1 and S2 were constructed to be stand-alone (i.e. they each contain local expressions that control their size and shape). I want to be able to control the size and shape of S1 and S2 from M. I can do this in part using Interpart Expressions. However, S2 depends on S1. Think of S1 as being a part and S2 a housing that S1 fits in to. So if S1 gets larger or changes shape, S2 has to change accordingly. The problem is that dependancy is not something I can directly control from M as it involves features in S1 that are not directly controlled by the driving expressions. I could create a WAVE link or interpart measurement variable from S1 to S2 , but that creates a direct dependancy between S1 and S2. So if I later want to replace S1 with a new version (S1.1) I would then have to edit S2 and re-establish the links. I guess that's not the end of the world, but I'm wondering is there is a cleaner way to do this. Maybe bring the required data from S1 into M and from there link it to S2?
I'm guessing there is some "best practice" for this. Thanks for any thoughts or advice.
My supplier asked for "cross-section CAD drawings" to create a wax model of. What's important in those drawings? What's he expecting to be included?
Thanks!
Ps: I know asking him would be the best choice but that isn't an option right now.
I've got a very complex model made using realize shape. How do you make a drawing of a model that has so many radii? You would have to put more than 10 radii on every section view. That alone is almost unreadable.
I would love to see an example of a complex organic model drawing.
All answers are welcome!
Does anybody know can I create some GD&T in NX PMI transfer these tolerances to VisVSA and user these tolerance as analysis base to simulation tolerance stack?
Does anyone know the 3DCS?I think it's integrate with NX before.
many thanks!
Hello, I was wondering if anyone can help me find a faster way to constrain multiples of the same object to one larger object.
For example, if I have 7 washers that are to be constrained to the face of a plate after being centered to their corresponding screw holes, is there a way to select all of the washer faces which are to be touch constrained to a plate?
I have attached a picture for clarity. There must be a faster way than to select and constrain them one by one as having to rotate the view constantly even with a 3D mouse is quite time consuming when you have 100 washers and screws.
I am on NX 11 and NX 12. If there isnt already a method for doing so how would i go about creating a custom command for such a task?
Facing some issues while routing.
Message coming is, Error recovery completed for the following error: An iilegal file was given to the tag system.
Does the tabular note in drafting have the function to sort based on a specific row, similar to the parts list "Sort" function.
For example if a revision history table needs to be sorted by revision (see below). So the "REV" column would sort or filter alphabetically.
REV | DESCRIPTION | DATE |
B | REMOVED NOTE 2 | 8/21/2018 |
A | CHANGED TOLERANCE | 8/20/2018 |

When exporting a flat pattern DXF, from the sheet metal application, the file is empty. But, if I create a drawing, and add the flat pattern, then export via the DXF/DWG translator, I get the proper output.
So what gives? log file isn't very helpful:

Hello,
I have a working folder that I work out of. In this folder I can't delete PDF's if I have the PDF open. BUT, I can delete an NX file that I am working on while it's open. Is there a setting in NX or something? I don't understand because I can't delete PDF's when they are open. Any recomended solution to not allow files to be deleted when they are open? Thank you
I've read that it is posible to push interpart expressions from one part to another. However, I haven't found how to do that. Could someone explain exactly how that's done? I know "pulling" is the recommend way, but there are a few use cases where pushing the data makes things easier. Thanks for the help!
Hello,
I have made an electrical part including cables and conectors, i made it in a kind of a spiral orientation like it would be in real life.
But now i want to make a drawing of it but i want the cable be flat and straight without changing the part.
I have tried Formboard feature but i an error: "the work part does not contain any valid 3d harness geometry".
What can i do?
Thanks!
Dear all !
I already saw method to add new material in old version of NX12, but it is not suitable for NX12. So that if anybody know how to add new material into library for NX12, pls point me !
Thank in advanced !

Hello
I'm inside a 3D assembly where there are Point Cloud modelled \ scanned references:
When I try zooming closer and closer in Point Clouds the points or dots disappear more and more and parts turn to mist ?
- Is this a computer's performance saving function and adjustable in NX options ? Or a poorly scanned item cloud ?
- Where can I find the setting to add more dots ?
