Does anyone else think NX10 is possibly the worst upgrade ever.
I have worked on versions 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7.5 and they have all had some much better feature once you got use to them. I can not find anything good to say about NX10 and dont even start me on the drafting application!!
We have a customer that has created many assembly designs by importing bodies from other NX part files.
They now want to start using assembly for many reasons.
Is there any way to replace a body with a component?
The same part files that were imported can be placed using mates but it would be cool if we could automate it.
I wouldn't expect it to create the mates but if it could maintain the position that would be cool.
Maybe a journal?
Hi,
I'm preparing the transition for our company from NX11 to NX and this enhancement was asked and I want to document, but I'm not able to obtain.
I'm talking of the 'Display an extansion....
Attached an example part.
A drawing file gives the error "Settings are rejected because one or more views failed to update" when attempting to change a drafting view from wireframe to fully shaded (or vice-versa). This is a master model component drawing, the model is fully loaded, no wave links or interpart expressions involved. We are using NX 10.0.3.5 with TC 10.1.5.
I searched this forum and the solution center but couldn't find the error listed. I found an old thread on eng-tips, but it didn't have any resolution.
The part navigator shows that everything (1 sheet, 4 views) are up to date, but the view name in the corner of the graphics area shows that the sheet is "(out of date)". A part cleanup with all the simple and moderate actions turned on did not help.
Hi All,
I'm having trouble with automatic selecting a solid body in NX open. Situation is as follows:
I create a solid body let's call it bigBody (I created it, so I know it's tag), depending on data from a sketch an other solid is also created, let's call this tinyBody (again I know it's tag). I substract the tinyBody from the bigBody. So far no problem. But... sometimes my tinyBody is nog so tiny and when I substract it from mr. bigBody, mr bigBody is split into two distinct bodies. By selecting it by it's tag, only one of the two parts is selected. If you ask for information on the body(ies) they are alle the same.
How can I select both? And is there a way to keep it associative? So that if I surpress the substract, the selection is still ok?
I could probably toggle all solid bodies, and ask for it's parent, but I loose associativity when surpressing the substract.
It's been bothering me quit a while so all suggestions or ideees are welcome!

Is there a setting where we can change these new Icon Colors, I was in testing some 2d drafting dimensioning, and I ran into two Icons that are so close being the same, it really messed me up. Can the colors of these be changed or modified in any way? Thanks
Folks,
I have an analytical process that generates points which describe a surface.
This data is well ordered, ijk, xyz
Simplest format for me was STL.
All analylitical point data explicitly preserved.
I have now tried two ways to process this in NX so that I can get a set of sheets that can be integrated in to downstream design process.
Method 1, use the rapid surfacing tool.
When this works, it works great, but in cases where the STL data encompasses higher curvature, it becomes impossible to keep the edge reasonably congruent with the initial STL points, and as adjacent STL zones are no longer sewable.
Method 2.
Modified my analytcal tool to also outpout the edge points used for each STL file.
Read these in as seperate groups of points
Made each a fit curve.
Now the four fit curves can be used with fill surface to create a sheet.
But... the "Fit to Facet Body" does not let me pick a my original STL convergent body.
Does that STL data need to be converted to some other facet format?
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

Hello Friends
Version : Nx11
Basic Curves should be like Ungroup curves should not sit in `Non-timestamp Geometry',
I am working with the Section curves (Which is automatically created by the View Section > Save Section curves and sitting as Group), Now while editing the curves I need to create some Basic Curves manually which is going to sit in the `Non-timestamp Geometry'.
Is there any way to remove all Basic Curves rom `Non-timestamp Geometry' and make them as like generated Section curves.
Thanks in advance

Hi NX Community,
I am trying to find a way to mark a curvilinear (girth) dimension for this part. I am unable to find a way to do it.
My request is if someone can help me out.
Pleased to announce that the NX 1847 compatible version ot NX Topology Optimization for Designers is available from the GTCA Download page.
NX, NX 1847 Series, Add-Ons, Topology Optimization for Designers
… and yes this does work in NX 1851
Installation document included in the zip file.

Hello experts
Here is another problem I ran into: I have created an “Attribute Template” associated to the part File. It is available in Part Properties as expected. Now I would like to delete this attribute again using the “Delete” Function in the Properties dialogue “Attributes – traditional view”. All attempts failed so far. There is a note in the Information section saying: “This attribute is referenced by another object and holds a hidden cached value”.
In order find our which object this could be I deleted all contents (model + drawings) of my part. Now it is complete empty and I still can’t delete the attribute nor can I delete the related template. If I try to delete the template I get this message: “Cannot delete template because it is being used”.
The only reference I have found is a concealed expression (only visible in “Expression” – “List All”) related to this attribute.
Now how do I get rid of the attribute + the related attribute template ? Thank you for your comments!

Hello,
I have a performance problem with assembly contrains, when I have more than around 300 constraints, the perfomance drops dramatically. Each new constrain I add lasts more than 1 minute, the same occurs when I try to delete any constrain.
Has anyone noticed this behavior with a large number assembly constrains?
Any best practice with assembly constrains to avoid this problem?
Regards
Frank.
Hello, I've been using NX for three years now and have seen something new today with reference patterns. In the Assembly Navigator, I expanded out the Component Patterns and noticed that they all now have an "!" in the Info column. I hovered over one of the exclamation marks and it said indicated "Delayed". The Position column also lists a "?" for every pattern.
Does anyone have any idea of why this is happening? Something new in using NX for 3 years.... Is this a NX 12.0.1.7 thing or is this just new for NX12?
I also see that many of the assembly constraints now have a "!" with them. That may be clunky/buggy behavior with 12.0.1.7, but it was also deficient and flaky in NX 10. I think someone else's desciption was "atrocious". Not my description, but I wouldn't disagree. Thanks

Hi!
I am modeling a flexible tube that I will use a deformable object within an NX assembly.
My tube can bend in a circle but cannot grow or shrink. It is defined by one flex angle. I would like to create the tube using two lines at angle to the horizon (the flex angle) a curve by three points (see attached) and a perimeter length dimension. The problem is, when the tube is straight (and the flex angle is 0), that circle has infinite radius and cannot be created - I think.
Alternatively, I can create a two sketches, one for a straight tube and one for a flexing tube. I can use suppression-by-expression to supress the three point circle sketch. The problem here is that when I add the part as a deformable part in a parent assembly, NX throws an error that one of the features in the body is not there.
Can anyone recommend a better way to do this?
Hi,
I've listen that exist a license of Routing or piping light ?
Hi all,
Im not sure why I am getting this error. The below shown edge does not take blend(Preview pops up as correct).
I have removed the edge with extrude cut still te problem is same. I have tried with edge blend settings also.
Any one have solution?
Thanks in advance..
Is it possible to define relative folder for the spreadsheet_name in the "ug_list_hlookup" function ?
if so, how is defined the root folder ?
Thank you for helping me.

Hi,
I'm preparing the upgrade from NX11 to NX1851 and I would like to know how to transfer ANT column from NX11 to NX1851. Starting from NX1847, ANT customization isn't saved on the Windows registry, so I don't have an idea of how to accomplish this.
Hi,
can someone explain with some examples of this new enhancement?
