Dear all,

 

When I export an assembly to STEP format, the receiver, will get my assembly structure.
How I can obtain the similar results with the Parasolid export?

With the Parasolid export, I will obtain a single level assembly, without the correct part names.

 

Thanks.

How to fuse balloons together like bolt-washer-nut combination NX 9 ?

Hi (in drawings)

1.) How to fuse balloons together like bolt-washer-nut combination NX 9 ?

  • In Siemens Solid Edge this option was very simple to use. It had vertical and horizontal balloon combinations and it was a lot easier to use.

2.) How to move balloon leaders for example in the center of the part without losing connection to part list ? I drag the leader to a more appropriate place but it loses the part number always when not connected to the edge.

If I open multi sessions of NX in my computer, does each session maintain the same speed as a single session? Or does it divide the speed and resources in between sessions?

Best background and line color for NX if 9 hours computer drawing ?

Hello Smiley Happy

Best background and line color(Is it called theme ?) for NX 9 ? If your work includes full time 9 hours computer drawing ?

  • In NX 9 Drafting I have dull grey background and darkblue lines (I think this is a DEFAULT theme)
  • Is this default the best color scheme there is considering eye strain and such contrast... comfort for long term working as a professional drawer ?

+ I also use F.LUX-software to change monitor's color to match lamp tempature with sunrise. Anyone else do things like I ?

Rapid Surfacing

Hey,

 

I've got an STL-file of the mandibula joint. 

The STL-file comes from a CT-scan.

I would like to insert a part en constrain it on to the mandibula joint.

So the surface of the parts needs to adapt itself to the surface of the STL file.

Is this possible ? How do I do that ?  

Can someone help me ? 

 

Thank you !

Quicker way to update NX assembly structure?

$
0
0

Hello all, 

 

Say I have an assembly up and loaded in NX Manager, a fellow engineer is making some changes or reving up a sub assembly or componenet within that assembly.  Does anyone know of a quick way to update the assembly structure without having to close and re-open the entire assembly?

 

Currently, we select Menu from the ribbon, > File > Close > Close and reopen all modified parts.

 

As i'm sure all of you know, if you have a large assembly open, this can take quite a bit of time.  

 

Using NX 9/TC 10

 

Any input is appreciated. Looking forward to some responses.

 

Thanks in adnvance,

Up to now I had been using Hole command using Sketch points. Now I’m exploring how to use Position=Points in conjunction with Point Dialogue.

I could create points but how could I move the point positions at a later time?  Is it possible only to delete and recreate?

When placing balloons, how to know that you have placed them all ?

Hi (Drafting NX 9)

When placing balloons, how to know that you have placed them all ? (=all balloons are in the picture)

Balloon numbers like 1,2,3.....

Sometimes when I update the sheet it deletes some balloons and I have to go through if all the balloons are still in the sheet ? (manual hard labour to check balloons with mouse+zoom)

 

+ Is there a trick to check that all balloons are there ?

It is hard for my eye to go through 30 or 40 balloons just to find that two balloons are missing from the drawing Man Sad

 

NX has horrible flaws. Sigh. Heart

Importing a Title Block template

$
0
0

Hello,

 

Is there a way to import the sample title block that comes with NX? I would like it modify it and not start from scratch. The "Define Title Block" on the Drafting Tools tab seems to work only after creating a "Tabular note" which is on the "Home" tab. Im new to the drafting module, but the placement/flow of the commands seems unintuitive. The Define Title Block command seems too look for existing data and not actually "create" a title block. 

 

Thanks,


STEP assembly import, keep native names

$

when importing step files and assemblies the native PNs show up but the PN they are saved to are new and they're all diffferent base numbers... I'd like to keep the native PN but not necessarily create individual parts in teamcenter unless it's required. They will come in as parts without features so I'd rather see them as bodies but labeled "35499-27050" instead of "body (1)" or whatever the default used to be in NX8.5. I tried changing "numbering source" to "OSFILE_NAME" but it didn't seem to have any affect on the PNs. Here's the dry run log file:

  • But it only has one(1) sheet in NX drafting.
  • Someone has deleted the second sheet inside NX some years ago and now the "page/sheet 2" just haunts there...when outputting prints and pdfs. How to remove it from prints ?date.jpg
