Note: There are two possible methods for downloading NX:

 

  1. For customers running the most recent version of NX 1872, download the following file:

Reference Sets with specific layer

Hello everyone!

 

I'm trying to create some new Reference Set with specific sketchs and representations from model parts, but these representations doesn't update inside the new reference set without being a manual work. 

 

Does someone knows how could I link a Reference Set to some Layer? 

 

Thanks for help!!!

How to make expression fomular to look in the same folder where it locates

$

Hi all,

I made around 400 expressions linked to a spreadsheet. If my model is copied to another computer, the directory will be changed, unless it's very very simple such as D:\Folder1\spreadsheet.xlsx, but it's not possible in some case to have just easy directory. 

 

If someone tries to update the spreadsheet values without changing the pathing, it will crash his computer for sure (because I did once, it opened endless excel instances that made my windows 10 freeze, when I forced shut down and started again windows 10 will try to open those excel instances again, I had to manually close each excel with turtle speed)

 

How can I make the expression formula to locate to the folder of the NX file that contains the expression?

Thanks for your help

Helo Every one

 

I had searched a lot of on youtube for  animation of spring compression in NX. I have found nothing except one video.

The link of that video is

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n--E_rff70

 

But in this video , instead of the method of creation, only animation is shown.

 

Please anyone tell me how to animate spring compression in Nx.

 

Thanks in advance

Have NX drawing load model automatically?

$

0

Using 1867 with Teamcenter.  We have some occasional users that will open a drawing to make a print, or just look at something, and are complaining that the drawing won't update.  In actuality, the message in the lower left is "unloaded", which depending what was done prior, the drawing may, or may not be up to date.

 

So, is there a customer default I can turn on, to load the component, so when they update the drawing, it actually updates?

 

will turning on "Load Component on View Update" do this?  Help docs aren't real clear.

Load Component on View Update

This option determines whether or not components should be loaded as needed to update lightweight views.

Default Name: Drafting_loadComponentOnUpdate

Valid Options: [Yes,No]

Advanced weight Managment License

Hello Fellow users,

 

I am quite new to NX version 10.0. 

 

At the moment I am interested in obtaining inertial properties of solid components. The first time yesterday I used the feature "Advanced weight Managment", there were no issues.

 

However, today I get the following error "Module Not Licensed: Unable to obtain an advanced assembly modelling license".

 

Its not clear to me why this is. Is it possible that a fellow user may have taken a license for this module. If so, how do I find this info?

 

Any information will be appreciated.

Hi there,

 

Anybody knows a way to correctly use the Feature Parameter command for NPT threads?

 

If i make an annotation from Feature Parameter the result doesn't show corretly as in the command Hole Callout.

 

I need to use Feature Parameter because when the hole is child of a Mirror Feature the Hole Callout doesn't work.

Force numlock on when NX starts ?

$
0
0

I have a new HP Zbook laptop . Nice machine except that when booted it doesn't have numlock enabled.
 I have googled solution proposal to edit the registry and set some key to 2 instead of... byt my machine has 10 digits on that key and the Microsoft rep then did not respond to that question. ( i have not yet looked at the Bios)

 

Is there someway i can in the start of NX force numlock to be on ? Environment variable ?

- I hate when designing something, I click a field to enter some numbers, i look down on the keypad and key in the numbers , and when i look up again on the screen , the dialog is "different" than the number i expected to see.
Annoying.

NX routing mechanical - deform issues

I am working on creating some hose assemblies for some plumbing work using NX 10, I have created the hose assembly as shwon in the below video.

But now when I add it to assembly and click select deform the model path remains intact but the stock is distorted as shown in the attached image.

The tool and target do not form a complete intersection

$

I have a complex part, and I need to remove a portion of it in order to show some machining tolerances.  Usually I'm able to create a sheet body and use that and the "trim body" command to cut away the parts I do not need for this operation.  Occasionally I get this error though, and I find it extremely frustrating, because it is painfully clear there is a complete intersection of the parts (the sections I need are all sticking up above the sheet body I've created).

 

If I reverse the direction of the "trim body" everything works fine, but this doesn't give me the bodies I need for the operation.  I've tried several work-arounds, all with no success (most recently I used "extract geometry" to create 2 copies of the original body.  I performed the inverse of the "trim body" I'm trying to do, and then tried to "subtract" that body from the 2nd copy, but continue to get the same error message).

 

This would be slightly less frustrating if NX would identify where the problem is occuring rather than just a very general comment that could apply to many areas in a part with a lot of relatively complicated geometry.

Drafting Projected View

Hi All,

 

I have a question about NX Drafting.For instance, I created Top view from Base View command.

Then, I created 2 extra views with Projected View command (under and right side of my part).

Afterwards, I changed my Top View perspective thanks to Base View command edit.

My question is ''Is it possible to update my projected views according to my changes ? '' 

 

 

 


NX 12 - Creating coil winding path with helical sweep

Hi everyone,

I was recently asigned wth a task to create an easy way to model wire winding around any shape. I decided to try with creating a helix and a styled sweep to intersect the shaped body, but cant get a linear spacing betwen the path. I was following this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TZtE3FNOVs (at 5:17 time stamp). I'm trying to replicate the exact model, but im having issues with the shape (picture below).

What am I missing ? Something with constraints or parameters? I'm using NX for 3 days now, so please go easy on me.

Measuring 3D-shaped objects

Hello,

 

 

Due to complications during machining we're now trying to figure out if a modelled 3D-impeller has an equal vane thickness across the entire vane.

Is there a way to measure the thickness across the entire vane? Or perhaps show the deviation in thickness? Using the measure tool I can get a minimum distance but that won't suffice.

customize tabular Notes

Hi, 

I am making some custom tables... but I have problems in using them.

What I do is:

I make the new tabular Note

Save as Template (directly in the UGII/table_files/ directory)

Preference-Palette-Open directory as template palette: aI point at the above dir

I can now see my new table in the palette, but when I add it tho the drawing sheet the Assembly Positioning Dialogue starts (as if I had added a reusable component).

Is it some customer defaults that I set wrong?

Thank you

Hello Everyone,

 

I am trying to apply a draft to a bannana shaped tubed, see images. 

 

I can't get it to work at all, anyone ever applied a draft to something similar? Its the bore I need to draft, the cores will come in from either end and meet where the line is on the section view. 

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thank you
