Working on a part famly, which contains a threaded hole, and I am getting a warning in the information window, that "Standard data not found. Specify different standard or edit standards data"
I think this is the first part family I have done, in which the thread size changes, so I think that has something to do with it, but the information window is a bit vague, in what I should look at.
For reference, 181190 is our model template 'seed' file.
Any clues? Part file attached, if that helps any.
Hello, I'm adding components to an assembly and then I just patterned a component. What I completely do not understand and never even saw in NX 10 (even with all the trouble that was) is, that when I finished creating the component pattern, the assembly constraints for some parts (that appears to have nothing to do with the patterned component) are all of a sudden showing as having a conflict. After scrolling up and down the Constraint Navigator, I now see that there are probably 30 components or more showing assembly constraint conflicts. Of course, there's probably just one offending constraint, but could take a very long time to find that one.
The component pattern that I made is a Linear layout and is just going off in one direction with a certain count and pitch distance. How would that affect already existing components? Just before this, I created a similar component pattern and there weren't any problems. I moved a little over to another part and tried the exact same thing, but with completely different results.
I put in a different post today how the preview for component patterns is flaking out and I mentioned earlier that assembly constraints were shown as failing until I hit OK and then they cleared up. Could all this be related? NX 10 had it's share of problems, but sure seemed more stable than 12. Thanks
Update: Since the pattern kept flaking out, I deleted it. I then deleted constraints for the component I was trying to pattern and also did the same for another component. When I deleted constraints, several components now showed as having conflicting constraints - when NONE of them showed as having conflicting constraints before I deleted the constraints for the two components. I don't understand....
Final update for the day: I deleted 2 constaints and the at least 417 (not exxagerating) that showed as conficting were now resolved. All this was tied back to one component that had 2 bad constraints. This one offending component had been added earlier on and other components had been added later. This didn't show up until I removed 2 other component and then red conflicting constaint indicators were thrown up all over the Constraint Navigator. How is this a good thing???
Another user, 2 actually, have been creating part families, and for the most part everything is working, but today I was informed by both of them, that the Family Members have DB_PART_NAME, set as the DB_PART_NO from the model template seed file.
My initial thought, was that the colulmn for DB_PART_NAME was forgotten, but when I checked it's there, and correctly filled out. I don't see any obvious strange characters, like a carraige return, or extra space, etc.
Any thoughts as to what may cause this? 
Unfortunatly, the part can not be uploaded to this forum.
Hello,
I'm having NX 11 (got upgraded from NX 9 recently) and Ansys 16.2 in my machine. I'm unable to import a NX 11 UG part (.prt) in ICEM as the error message displayed is : ERROR: pIPartMgr->AttachAssembly() failed. I have tried converting the UG part to parasolid and then importing it in ICEM. Although the geometry does get imported this time, the tagging of the sheet bodies are lost.
Basically, the UG part contains sheet bodies with tagging according to some defined naming conventions. This would then be imported and meshed in ICEM. I had no problems when it was a NX 9 UG part but after the upgrade, the same NX 9 part when opened and saved in NX 11 throws an error in ICEM (mentioned above) during import.
For things to work as before, do I have to upgrade Ansys 16.2 to the next version? I would be very happy if someone can help me here.
Note: I will not be able to go back to NX9. So I was wondering if there is a work around with the NX11-Ansys 16.2 software. Thank You.
Hello,
There are examples installed with NX to drawing automation like
C:\Program Files\Siemens\NX 11.0\DRAFTING\automation\example\view_orientation
My question is how could I create the "instant" drawing view like the one in the ViewOrientationTemplate.prt?
Thanks for your help,
Zsolt
How to start working on NxOpen Application migration in Nx12 upgrade?
I've spent this past school year learning Siemens NX 9.0 since it was offered at my school. Prior to that my knowledge was just in solidworks and a bit of Rhino. I found NX to be great for surface modeling and a bit easier to understand than solidworks. Also it was very easy to render in keyshot you could just import the part, vs solidworks you need to assign different colors to the parts prior to saving the modeling an importing; to edit the seperate parts in keyshot (perhaps there's an easier way?).
However when I applied to internships not a single company had heard of NX as a modeling program, as a result I'm kind of questioning, why I spent a year of my time learning it if no one uses it. The company I am working for solely uses Creo, which I have no knowledge of an am having a hard time learning on my own. Should I focus my attention back on using solidworks, as I've heard that's the industry standard. Thanks
Hi,
I'm looking for NX users that use the 'Weld Assistant' application, not weld points. I want to share experience for this environment and workaround.
Hello,
I'm wondering if there is a way to save some user preferences within NX (while using it through Teamcenter). There are a few modeling settings (make sketch internal to child features, Edit with rollback, edit in task environment, etc). Is there an easy way to save these preferences so that I don't have to change them everytime I use NX?
Thanks!
I recently switched from NX 9 to NX11, and I can no longer import .stp/.step files. One of two things happens; either it appears to translate properly (log window pops up, shows it's importing and appears to finish without an error), but then the body doesn't show up OR NX throws an exception "Error- unhandled UG exception caught. with the following message <Standard C++ exception caught. See system log for details>."
I asked my administrator about it, and he said it's a known bug. His only current work around is to import the part though NX9 (which I still have installed), save it externally as a .prt file, create an item in Teamcenter, import the NX9 file into teamcenter, then open that file with NX11.
I read somewhere else that this might be related to my NVIDIA graphis card, but I tried updating drivers, etc to no avail. Is this a known issue or is there a fix?
Thanks
Hey!
I am searching for a possibility to link the content of a cell of a tabular note to a balloon. Means the balloon should get the number linked to the cell, see picture below.
The background is that I have an imported model that consists of "bodies" and a separate component list.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
I'm working on a model, and lately when I've been trying to edit the latest feature, before it will let me edit, NX feels the need to update every feature before it. It's super slow, and I don't understand the logic as to why it would be doing this. Any idea why this is happening or how to stop it?
Looking at creating a part family for the NAS1791 series of nutplates, but this series is a bit different, in that the "nut" is replaceable, and that piece is NAS1794, and the clip is NAS1795.
My thought was to build the base, and add all of the nuts and clips, then use suppress by expression, including that expression in my part family spreadsheet. BUT, the more I think about it, the matrix of combinations is fairly large, so the margin for error is high, and may not be worth the ROI.
5 basic thread sizes, with 6 different nut heights/counterbores, and 2 different material options (I'd skip the material options), so a total of 30 combinations. EDIT: To add more complexity, NAS1794 and 1795 would be part families too.
Has anyone done anything like this?

Hi Everyone,
Is there any way to change the drafting background black permanently.
I created the button of macros to change the Background black.
Can We change drafting sheet background colour black through customer defaults?
Case 1)
I make a intersection curve using two bodies
then I want to delete the bodies (not hide)
but if I delete one of the bodies, the curve die.
Is there a good way to use the curve and delete bodies?
Case2)
I sketch a circle on A-body and make an extrude (named B-body) with the sketch.
Then
if I move A-body, the sketch also moves and B-body too.
If I want to move only A-body (not moving B-body), how can I do this easily?
..So I want to disconnect the link with parent component ( ex. intersection curve<->bodies , sketch <-> body )
Please help me with simple method.
Thanks a lot.
This data was created in 1997, I tried to open in Nx 7.5, 8, 9, 10, 11 or 12. but I can't open it. Which version can use I for opening it?
Hi,
This is Pramod S, I am very new user of NX MCD.
Objective of the design: The conveyor carrying part would stop when the distance sensor's value becomes 190mm. The picking unit should slide down and attach the component, move up to its home positioin. Vertical guide along with picking unit and component should move in horizontal direction to a distance of 250mm. Picking unit should slide down and detach the component on to the different conveyor which starts with the presence of the component.
Problem
1. Fixing the component on the conveyor to the picking unit.
2. Sensor is disabled when I gave stick on collision condition for both the component and picking unit.
Help me in fixing the above issues.
Using NX 11.
Is there a way to turn off the edges in studio redendering style ?
Hi,
In Teamcenter Visualization 11.2, I have the ability to export a JT file using the Ultra-Lightweight Precise (ULP) Format which creates a much smaller JT file than I would otherwise have.
In NX 11, what settings do I need to put into the tess.config file to get a ULP format JT file exported?
Thanks,
JLM
