Issue w/ Dimensioning Distance in Different Draft Views

This may be a stupid issue, but I am having a problem with dimensions not being consistent in my draft between views. I'm working on a part that has a feature defined by the vertical or radial distance from a point below it. This dimension is on both a left view and about 45 degree rotated view, and the problem is that the same dimension does not share the same value. I can't share my part, but I've attached a rudimentary example of what I'm dimensioning. Using the same points between views, the rotated view results in a length that is about 7% shorter than the length dimensioned in the left view. The dimension settings are the same, and the issue occurs if defined from different reference points and different distance types (linear, radial, etc.) as well. Inheriting one dimension from another does not help either. Is this an issue on the user side or on the NX side?

 

Thanks for the help!

Could someone tell me how you turn a Bounding Body into a .prt file?  Ideally I'd just like to pop it into the assembly at the same time to.

Hi :

Does anyone know if NX has a standard parts library for MS,NAS and CNS?

Thanks

Hi:

I create a A4 title block and there are 3 tabular note on bottom left , bottom right and top right. Each tabular note alignment to the title block with associative. When I modify the sheet from a4 to a3 the tabular note will miss the alignment constrain.How can I solve the problem?

Thanks

Hi,

 

I've added too many bolts to a assembly part.I would like to see the bolts in Assembly Navigator not in separate, but in a single folder at the bottom. How do i do this?

 

Thank you for your help.

Best regards.

Hello,

I am looking for a way to change the default name (localize) of the weld type features that are shown in TC Structure Manager. I know that they are mapped (also looking how) from NX weld features type, so I assume that it is controlled by some kind of a customer default/settings?

The second thing is the accuracy of the weld length, is it a way to change it?

Hello

In Nx 11.0 (TcE Integrated) I need to pattern the part (Say Nut) then I need to split or explode from pattern as individual.

 

The Application is in some assembly file which is already assembled that I need to edit where pattern is not done and assembled as individually. Here I don’t want to keep as pattern, so will create pattern and need to split it as individual this will help to position the multiple parts in the required are in 3D space.

 

Is there any way to do this.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello

 

I am working with a huge assembly which containts lot of sub assebmly and again another sub assemblies inside that. Is there any way to extract the multilevel BOM as Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 upto last level.

 

For example f i working in Assy. called A (Level 0), then sub assembly (Say B, Level 1) or direct part (Say C, Level 1) insde A is Level 1 if any part inside Assy. B is level 2.

 

Like this is ther any way to extract.

 

 

thanks in advance

I've created a hole series in an assembly. The holes are located with a linear pattern in 2 different directions. I add one fastener and constrain it to one of the holes from the hole series command. I then attempt to use a pattern component using the hole series created by the linear pattern and it fails. The preview shows the pattern as selected but the fasteners do not appear in the preview nor after clicking apply or OK. For circular patterns, the pattern component works fairly well but it is sensetive to the type of constraint applied to the fastener to be patterned.

 

I'm sure this is going to be so simple it will make me feel very humble. Please humiliate me.

Hi,

We upgarded from Nx10 to 12 recently.

I observed in Assemblies, dependency browser vanished in Nx 12. Where as in Nx 10 if we click on constraint, it will show dependencies.

Have anyone faced this issue?

Ravi

 Hi,

 

How do I only give certain parts the ability to have hidden lines within a large assembly?
Designing a piping system for a plant. I've got around 1200 solid bodies in my assembly. How do I only show the hidden lines for above pipelines & flanges?

I've tried render sets and secondary geometry but I find that I can only select entire components in those options. 

If I turn on hidden lines through view -> hidden lines then all of the assembly will show hidden lines, which is not desired. 

Thank you.

Hello, Can someone please provide a fix for the latest weird NX behavior that just popped up?  Specifically, I'm trying to get a simple distance measurement, so I did the new NX 12 measurement deal where I select the vector and then select the two different objects to get the distance between the two objects.

I've done this consistently with expected behavior for NX 12 until, just recently, I'm trying to get a measurement and I'm getting this new Hint.  It says "To see possible measurements, change the Measurement Method to another type."  Did I do something to cause this?  What can I do to fix it?  It's not showing a distance value on screen, so I don't know what's going on.

Here's a screenshot showing the menu.

 

Is it evident what I'm doing wrong?  It worked one time and then junked out the next time I tried it.  I've had this happen a few times, so I'm not sure what's going on.  It seems intermittent and random. Thanks

There is a sketch in drafting whose dimension disappears as soon as the sketch is deactivated.

All the layer is turned on and visible in view.

Hello

 

When constraining while changing the Align to Touch or Touch to Align (Particularly when working with cylindrical parts to arrest the rotational constrain)  the part will rotate and will change the location as well as orientation.

 

Now how to set the distance of rotation of the location as well as orientation.

Hello All

 

With NX12, one new feature been added is "Sketch Relations Browser", and really helps in grouping all constraints (Geometric, Dimensional) inside it, so that it can be used for many purposes.

 

But one hiccup I see with that is, "Status" column,

Even for my unonstatrint curve, it indicates as fully constraint status.

 

Please see in attachment. (A line without length dimension)

Is the column Status denotes the degree of freedom of a selected curve, or is it intented for other purposes

 

Please help me with this..

 

Thanks in advance

 

NX12
