Hi ,
I have a problem , the update display command is missing on NX 7.5 ( version 7.5.5.4) which installed in new workstation (window 7) .
The update display is availble on NX 7.5 (version 7.5.4.4) on another old PC.
Pls advice how to activate back the update display command ?
Thanks.

Hi sir:
As far as I know, the current Faro arm is base on the "design x" for 3D scanning.
Customers need to purchase both design x and NX for SCAN & CAD/CAM.
Is there any other solution (add-on funtion) that can scan directly in NX?
thank you
Hello, I’m using NX 10. Is it possible to create a line connecting the detail view with its master view? Like the picture. Or like the detail view icon is suggesting…
Good day,
Working in NX 10.0.3.5...Last Friday, I replaced many parts in my assembly with different components that were similar, but with different names. All things were fine in the assembly then. Today, I open the assembly and none of the components load. The search paths are correct, the parts are there. I have even opened one of the components then tried to turn it on and it still couldn't find it.
For futher troubleshooting, Today I replaced one of the components that isn't showing up with the exact same file that should already be showing and it finds it and loads it just fine.
I have no idea what is going on but I need to know how to fix it. Please help. There are approximately 90 parts that are not showing up.
Sketch groups are listed in alphebetical order by default. Can that be changed? Not a big deal if it can't, but just thought I would ask before renaming some. Thanks.
I have built a strut assembly which has 12 arrangements. These arrangements suppress/unsuppress various different length strut components within their assembly. This assembly is then added in various locations in the main assembly using different arrangments to link the components together. The length of the strut is reflected in the name of the arrangement.
In the assembly navigator I can turn on the Arrangement column to see which arrangement is in use against each instance of my main assembly.
Now on the assembly drawing, I want to add a bom that also includes a column that displays the arrangement in use against each of the strut sub-assemblies used in the main assembly. I've not been able to find a way of doing this.
I've tried adding an associative measurement in the Strut Assembly that returns the length of the strut but there appears to be an issue with the new measure tool not updating the measure feature when an arrangement is changed. The only way to get it to update is the make each strat assembly instance the work part and manually editing the measure which is impractical with a hundred or so strut assemblies in the main assembly.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can include the arrangement name on the BOM on the drawing please.
How to accomplish opening a custom Tab in a specific application (No Part)? The NX11 & NX12 docs aren't very clear on how to utilize the .dtx file(s) - the example in the docs seems not quite right at all, if they're even necessary.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I am NX designer, I don't know about What's different between "Normal" and "Unique" of New Sketch Group function.
I hope somebody can explain it for me please.
Thank you.
I'm updating some parts in an assembly and want all of them to have the same layer categories.
Is it possible to copy the layer definitions (category names, layer number) of one part to another, existing part?
Hello NX Experts,
I just cannot see advantages in these fancy ribbon menu structure. It's less efficient and a waste of screen space.
Is it in NX12 still possible to get the old, classic menus?
Many thanks!
Best wishes
Hello everyone,
I'm currently doing a modelling in NX 11.0.2, where various types of cooling holes should be added on a shingle plate. Because these holes have unique shapes, to create the holes on the plate I need to load the template solid bodies of the holes (which give the form of the holes), extract these bodies with wave geometry linker, move the linked bodies to certain positions on the plate (with move object - from CSYS to CSYS feature), then do some unite and subtract processes.
Now my team has this idea of using reuse library to load these holes bodies to the assembly. To add these holes bodies to the library, I've tried some methods but they all didn't work:
1. I loaded the hole bodies in a new model, createdwave geometry linker, and from the bodies I createdreusable object through 'define reusable object' (for the type I select 'Body'). So the object type as shown in the library is now 'Feature/Object Template'. When I tried to insert this from the library and position it on the plate, NX gave an error message which said 'One or more of the selected objects cannot be moved along with its parents because it belongs to a Wave Link Feature'.
2. I loaded the hole bodies in a new model, created wave geometry linker, and I save this extracted body as a .prt-file in the same folder of my created reuse library. Then I created a KRX file from it, and now the object type in the library is 'KE Part'. When I again tried to insert this from the library, I got options for the positioning (by constraints, move, etc.). I chose 'move', from 'move' I could choose 'from CSYS to CSYS', and the positioning actually worked. But as I wanted to unite the hole bodies with the shingle plate, I couldn't do it because I couldn't even select the hole bodies as the tool in unite command.
So, do any of you have any ideas what should I do now? I'm sorry if my description is not clear, I'm afraid I can't insert any pictures, screenshots, or files here because of my company's secrecy policy, but I do hope you can understand the problem. Any kinds of help and suggestion will be much appreciated!

User was working with an older part, which has evolved via "save as". Since this this parts creation, we have added new attributes, and expressions tied to those attributes, in our model seed file. Since the user wanted these, along with some other data from another part, they imported that other, newer, part file.
Now they have the data, and all the over lapping expressions, named p18'0, etc., as I expected. going thru these, trying to clean out the ones that are not needed, some of the expressions that were tied to other expressions, and attributes won't delete, even though we *think* we deleted its 'use'.
Is there an easy way to see where the expression is used? I thought there used to be a column for that in the expression editor, but I do not see it now. I swear I've seen "used by _______", some where in there.
I've almost got a whopping 7 weeks of experience using NX8.5 under my belt (I expect the organization to be switching to 12 before the new year).
I am provided with geometries in .stp, iges, or x.t. format. I then perform work on these. Later, I may be provided with alternative geometries related to the original file. When I import these new geometries into original geometry file, they are automatically placed correctly (so I don't want to solve my difficulty in a way that interferes with that).
Here's my difficulty
I click Insert> Sketch in Task Environment> I select the sketch plane > I click ok
Then the model "jumps" and is no longer visible on my screen. I then have to zoom out, rotate the model and zoom in again to work on the new sketch.
Can someone please advise me on how to stop this annoying behavior?
I have a layout sketch with a lot of geometry. I've been using sketch groups to keep it organized, but I could also divide it into several sketches. One advantage to using sketches is that any patterned objects will stay in the sketch even if the number of instances changes. That is not true with a group (new instances will not be in the group). On the other hand, reference objects in one sketch will not be accessible to another. So I'll probably need to make some of that non-reference. But other than that, are there any disadvantages to using separate sketches to keep this organized?
Thanks for any thoughts on this.
Hi
If I create a base view and project a view base on the base view, When I reorient the base view but the projected view will not change. Is it true?
Thanks
Hi,
So we just upgraded to the latest version of NX, we come from NX 11.0.1.
I thought it'd be pretty straight forward to copy the template files from the NX11.0 folder to NX12.0 for drawing sheets. But it's not straight forward. And I'm not sure why not?
Where are the templates for sheets stored and since it's been a while since I last edited the .pax file for the 11.0 version - do I need to edit the 12.0 .pax file in a similiar way?
thanks..
Hi,
we have started to create rolling bearing as part families, but in the last years, users had started to download them directly from skf site. So I diced to convert the few part families into classic parts. I remember a batch command with a NX?.exe, but I don't remember.
Hello, Is it possible, in a drawing, to define a default reference set for new drawing views? I see how I can pick an arrangement, but I don't see where I can pick the reference set. When adding a new drawing view, I'd like to be able to pick which reference set I want to use. I looked in drawing preferences, but I couldn't find anything. Thanks
I'm using NX11.
When I finish the parts in Top Down design, I have a problem when I using my own A3 Palette. I open a part designed in top down assembly, and go to drafting enviroment choosing my palette. This one appears, but the configurarion is not the same like I ussual have and works when I'm not using assembly enviroment.
Apparently the palette is the same I have, but has changed the configuration of text colors, type of dimensions lines, hight texts, etc.
Any ideas about how to solve that problem.
Thanks

Hello,
I would like to show triangulation of my stl file , like image below (FreeCad) , It is possible ? I guess so, but impossible to find.
