can't save files

hi guys i am new to nx11 and for some reason i could not save my files in assembly navigator i noticed a padlock indicating the file were read only so had a look at the properties of the folder i was saving the files to and read only was ticked so started a new project and the save directory and at first it was not read only but when i tried to save it went back to the way it was before  so started once again this time i unticked the read only properties in the save folder and it worked but for some reason every new project folder gets the read only property can anyone help


Display quality (Draw precision)

Hello,

 

Simple question this time. I can't seem to find this option.

How do you increase the draw precision.

 

When I zoom in the surfaces are very rough (many sharp endges). I want to be able to see it in ultra fine mode when I zoom. Something like the quality setting in the Reflection Analysis Mode...

 

Thanks in advance,

SRLSR

Reuse Library is slow

I'm working with NX 8.5 and Teamcenter.

 

We are going the create a custom component library. In the end we want to have everyting in part families (for the fastners)

But in the beginning we are going to use the existing data.

 

For example a have a hex bolt from iso 4014 in 80 different items (this will be in the future members from the part family)

When i open the folder of the library, where all the different items are in, it will take some time before this is displayed.

 

Is this because of NX in combination with teamcenter?

is there a way to load the components fasters in the member select preview?

 

Curved transport in mechatronics concept designer

how my model should work:

as seen in the picture "curve", my carrier runs from left to right on the blue ties. when it reaches the 90°-curve, the carrier should drive with its right front corner (with its pin on the bottom) into the lane grooves of the curve to turn 90°. The carrier is always driven by the ties as soon as the carrier reaches them.

 

what I tried:

I tried to handle this with a curved transport surface as in picture "transport surface" and defined the curve as a collision body.

 

how it runs:

the carrier drives straight from the first ties and passes the curve -> no curved transport

Time lag when using commands for the first time

We have been on Nx9 for a while and at some stage it has devloped a lag of around 30 seconds when using some commands for the first time. This is experienced by all users here and is occuring often and seemingly randomly. For example the first time that I use the Measure Distance command I wait for 30 seconds before the dialog comes up, during this time Nx is frozen, all I see is the wheel spinning (time wasting) icon. The second time the command is used, the dialog appears intantly.

 

So not sure if this an Nx issue or a system issue like antivirus etc. Does anyone else experience this problem?

 

Thanks

NX/Simulink- NX/Motion model already open./ Current directory is different from working directory.

Hi I got error when I m doing NX/Simulink CO-simulation

 

=== Error Message ========================
1. NX/Motion model already open.
=> Close this NX/Motion model and try again the simulation.
2. Current directory is different from working directory.
=> Change the current directory.

I got these error messages.... anyon can help me?.. i dont know what's wrong.......

Plot settings

Hello,

 

Trying to figure out the settings for plotting, but it seems that regardless of output quality, file extension and other settings, the output remains horrible.

 

It's pixelated, dimensions are unreadable and in general impossible to use for production work.

 

Directly printing messes up the scale. 1:1 scale is 1:0.9 or something in comparisson with the product.

 

 

So what's the best way to create usable drawings? 

 

 

I've also adjusted the line thicknesses in the drafting standard, but besides the lines being a bit thinner now, there's no difference between 0.13mm or 0.25mm when printing files. AutoCAD and other programs have not giving me problems with line thicknesses. Am I overlooking something? Can we add custom line weights? 

 

Thanks again.

Error when trying to run simulation in MCD

Hello everyone,

 

I am using NX 10 and I have a (somewhat large) file which was originally in .x_t file format. Opening the file was successful as well as saving in .prt format. As a start I just declared two rigid bodies and two joints in MCD. Then when I hit play on the simulation, I receive the error message "Incorrect object for this operation." When I close the error, the application reverts to the default Gateway display. Any ideas what is causing this problem? It is very important that I be able to create an MCD simulation with this file.

 

Thank you Image may be NSFW.

Invert selection function NX9 in drafting

Hello, In drafting on NX7.5 you could highlight a body in "View dependent edit" then choose "invert selection" then hide everything else, on NX 9 , this function is there but the "invert selection " doesn't work.

Has anyone else noticed this?

NX10 Hole callouts---how to dimension threaded hole in a quarter section view

Hi experts!

I have to dimension a thread hole in a quarter section view .

The problem is that I try to use linear dimension with hole callout

to show thread hole dimensions.

I get this only if I expand view and dimensioning threaded hole

using linear hole callout but the auxilar dimensions line pointed to inner

diameter of thread hole instead of point to outer lines.

 

See attached image:

 

Futhermore no hidden lines have to be visibles and single side dimensions have to be done.

 

Any idea or suggestion to do this?

MCD curved carrier transport with grooves

I tried to realize a carrier transportation with curved direction.

The carrier is driven by a belt transportation system, but if it has to turn 90°, there is a switch with grooves to lead the carrier to the next belt section (see attached picture). For that the carrier has moveable pins (see attached picture). The ones on the right side drive along the groove of the switch, the ones one the left side are pushed in the carrier body as long as there is any mechanical resistance.

 

How can I realize this in Mechatronics Concept Designer?

 

I already defined the carrier as a rigid and collision body, and the belts as transport surfaces.

But it doesn't work with the 90° switch to drive the carrier along the curve. As soon as the carrier collides with the switch, it stops moving.

export to DXF

Hello again,

 

i am having  a problem with exporting sketch to DXF in NX modeling environment. If i select only sketch to export, I got empty DXF file. If i select Entire part to export, both the model and sketch shows up. I have already tried various DXF revisions but still having the same problem. 

Please see my dialog box in attachment

 

In general i find export to dxf option very unreliable. Maybe there is something wrong with my conf file, or? Everything is Siemens default.

 

thanks for help


Views outside sheet.

Can we plot views outside of sheet in Drafting?

Because if sheet contains multiple views then it will become helpfull that plot all the view that may cross the sheet border then arrange those as per space & scale?

Realtime Simulation of NX CAD model using an input provided using a Joystick

Is it possible to control a 3D model inside the Nx motion simulation, using an input provided by a joystick signal. I have been investigating about this and found that the co-simulation could import signals from simulink to NX using NX motion plant. This partly solves my problem. However, I also found that these are not real time signals.

It would be great if someone could point me in the right direction. Thank you

Part missing from parts list

I have created a parts list but one part of the assembly is missing from the list.  The drawing was created in the assembly file, not as a separate file.  I am using NX 10 not integrated with Teamcenter.  fI tried editing the parts list table (RMB table > Edit Levels) and adding the missing part by selecting it in the assembly tree but it didn't work. Does anybody know why this would happen?

NX 11.0.1 release date?

Hello,

 

Can anyone let me know the release date for NX 11.0.1? We are in a process to release this Maintenance release for production.

Problem with Java 8.121

Hello everyone!

 

Today I updated my Java to the most recent version 8.121 becasue I notived that documentation server stopped working. Documentation server resumed working but now I get "A Java exception was encountered" error when I try to launch Relations Browers - on any NX version I have installed? Any ideas? Is the Java version too recent?
