Hi,
Can anyone help with NX-CR updates?
I've clicked the button in top-right corner of NX and downloaded the update. Next time I started NX I was prompted to install it, which I've done.
Now
- my pinned NX tile in the start menu for NX doesn't do anything
- I have two folders in C:\Program Files\Siemens called NX and NX1872
- pressing the 'new' NX button in start menu informs me that the license server version is incompatible
Update did not go well 
Hi All,
I have been trying to figure out to have my DXF from Allegro import all text as curves instead of a note. Or is there a way to convert note to a NX text.
It would save me a step that would require me to add Text instead of using what comes in from the DXF. Right now it does not seem likely to convert a note to text.
Thank you.
Hi ,
"Cannot construct Conic, Conic spans more than 180 degrees" Anyone has any idea what does it means ?
I working on some section surface features and this error pop up.
Thanks.

I am new to nx. Currently I am using nx 12.
I want to design weldment or Frame Structure, so which module is required? Because I have Basic version of nx.
Please suggest which ADD ON Module I need?
hi,
I have a part with a circular hole in it (see picture). In this hole i want to draw an axle which is stepped, so a number of different diameters. I want one diameter of the axle being linked to the hole.
With assembly expressions this is no problem but i want to use interpart linking but every time i try to draw this the revolved feature is added to the part of the block. Is there a way to link these parts without expressions and using the revolved feature?
Many thanks

We recently updated to 1880 and I've noticed that select all is now actually selecting everything that isn't hidden. In the past it would only select what's in the viewable area which was useful in disregarding certain objects by zooming in. Is this an intended change? It's worked the old way as long as I can remember and I want to know if it's something I should open an IR on or not. Maybe there's a customer default to change on my end?
I am trying to export images at 3,000px wide for parts and assemblies. I cannot find settings to edit the resolution of each image capture. I have looked through all of the visualization preferences, to no success. I have watched videos for older NX packages (NX 8.5) where a "High Quality Image (Ctrl+Shift+H)," option is available. That command is found in View--->Visualization--->High Quality Image. From the video, you can edit the resolution and DPI from that interface. I do not have this in NX 12.
Is there a similar approach somewhere in NX 12? Or is there something I need to download to have this option? Any help would be appreciated!
Do we have any documentation out there for best practice (IGES, STEP203, STEP214 and DXF). Mainly IGES
thanks

I have an interesting situation that I've yet to find a solution to. I have an existing design that I need to capture within NX. I cannot change the existing assembly structure of the design. I have wire harnesses that reside in one subassembly but need to route thru qualified clamps in a different subassembly. I cannot simply use the WAVE Geometry Linker at the top level because I have multiple users that work within the assembly structure, it is a large platform, and I need the top level assembly locked down for quality control purposes.
The WAVE Geometry Linker would work great for the scenarios when my harness and clamp reside in the same next higher assembly, but not when a harness needs to route thru a clamp that is in a different subassembly.
I cannot simply do a "Copy Geometry to Part" because this feature does not link routing objects, otherwise I could use the WAVE Geometry Linker to link the clamp's port into it's next higher assembly located dependently and then "Copy Geoemtry to Part" from the clamp's assembly to the harness.
I tried a similar approach using the Product Interface and WAVE Interface Linker: WAVE Geometry Linker to add linked port from clamp to clamp's NHA, add the linked port to the clamp's NHA's Product Interface, then use the WAVE Interface Linker in the harness to link the port into harness. Honestly... not my favorite concept considering I now have a cascade of links. But that's not really the issue... because this approach didn't work either. I could add a routing object to the Product Interface of the clamp's NHA, but I could not then link the port into the harness file. I got the following error:
"The source part contains route product interface which can't be used to generate wave interface link."
Sounds to me like the same limitation that exists in the "Copy Geometry to Part" command also exists in the WAVE Interface Linker.
So... my questions:
1 - Am I missing something? Should one of the above solutions have worked and I simply missed a step or did something incorrectly?
2 - Is there a better way to do what I am trying to do that I've yet to outline?
The only other way I can think of that will work for me is to create a 'collector' assembly file which contains all of my wire harness assemblies and assemblies that contains clamps as subassemblies so that they share assembly structure in order to be able to use the WAVE Geometry Linker regardless of where the clamp and harness assy exist within the assembly structure of my top level assembly.
Any insight would be much appreciated.
Hi All,
Have any of you had success with optimizing .jt export options for use in Keyshot to produce high quality renderings?
What I've tried so far has shown tesselation issues, so I figured to ask all of you before wasting a lot more time.
Thanks!
One of the jobs we have to perform regular is to manage serial product modifications.
One of the steps involves documenting the modifications made in the products.
When compared to other CAD products NX model compare tool seems outdated and difficult to use.
Are there any plans to improve this useful tool?
Are there any training/samples tools available to further improve the use of it?
Any help is welcome.
Is there a way to quickly change Remembered Constraintsin Part Family Members in TeamCenter?
I can open the seed part of a part family, add the seed part to assembly to change its remembered constraints.
But then I have to open the seed parts family spreadsheets and Update all the members to get the new remembered constraints added to each family member. That can take as long as initial creation of family members, which in TeamCenter for hundreds of family members, can take hours.
Is there an easy way to find the master component of a pattern besides manually looking for it in the graphics interface? It is sometimes hard when I have a big assembly, and I'm just trying to find the master component.
And when you replace the master, the pattern doesn't exactly update, you have to de-select it and re-select it. Is that the correct way to replace a master component in a pattern?
Hi All,
I designed a barcode for my drawing paper thanks to spreadsheet.My barcode font is ''CCode39 '' (downloaded from internet). It is working in my NX successfully.However, It is not working on my friend's computer. Microsoft Excel (Spreadsheet) see this barcode font but NX does not see this font.I controlled this option :
File + Utilities + Customer Defaults + Drafting + General + Miscellaneous = '' Fonts to Use = Standarts and NX fonts ''
This option looks like true.I could not understand where is the problem ? Do you have any idea about this subject ?
Thank you so much for your interest already.

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.
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.
Hi, I don't remember which variable I must set to access the Help on context on line directly from the web, without installing the whole Documentation.
Thankyou!
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
P.S - Using NX 11.0
