Migrating plotters to new NX version

Does anyone have a best practice method, to migrate plotters to a new version of NX?

 

Last time we went from NX8.5 to NX9, we ran into an issue that required us to start over, with the NX9 default files.  I don't recall the details, but GTAC suggested then, that you always copy the latest files from the install, and start from there.

 

That wasn't a bit deal then, we had very few setup, but now we have many plotters and printers setup as plotters, across two geographical locations.  Any tips/tricks would be great.  Initially, I think I'm going to try without changing anything, and hope for the best.

Hey Everyone,

I have created a simple Mechatronics Concept Designer addon that allows you to connect a Microsoft Xbox 360 Gamepad/Joystick to control basicly any MCD simulation in real time.

MCD - Xbox 360 Gamepad ExampleMCD - Xbox 360 Gamepad Example

What is required?

  1. An wired or wireless Xbox 360 controller 
    If you use an existing xbox 360 wireless controller (for the console not for windows) you will probably need the Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver (USB) aswell.

  2. Installed original Microsoft Xbox 360 Driver for Windows (Windows 7 & Windows 10 should work) on your computer

  3. NX11.0 and / or Mechatronics Concept Designer 11.0 installed

  4. The Package in the attachment that includes the Runtime Behavior Code for the MCD Simulation as well as the libraries for SharpDX from Alexandre Mutel can also be downloaded from his website (http://sharpdx.org/)

Installation

copy this files:

SharpDX.dll
SharpDX.XInput.dll
SharpDX.xml
SharpDX.XInput.xml

into the following path:  "<Your NX11 Install Path>/nxbin/managed/" 

It should look like in the following picture:

/nxbin/managed/ path after SharpDX copy/nxbin/managed/ path after SharpDX copy

After driver Installation & coping of the SharpDX files, start the example assembly (_NX11_ASM_MCD_VakuumGripper_GamepadControl_Sample.prt), connect your gamepad to you computer (make sure the upper left led in the center is glowing consistently and hit "Play" in MCD.

You can use the included "_NX11_MCD_Template_ControllerInput.prt" file in any MCD assembly to connect your MCD elements to the Gamepad inputs (digital & analog buttons) and outputs (motors for vibration).

 

Have Fun & Enjoy MCD!

 

Best Regards

Viktor Braun

 

Special Thanks to Alexandre Mutel for creating SharpDX!

Edit sketch in Task Environment

Hi everyone,

 

I seem to have gotten the hang of sketching in Task Environment.
What bothers me however is when I edit my sketch - it goes into Direct Sketching. This means all projections are outside the sketch, etc. Can I change this?

 

Thanks.

Change displayed part option

I swear there is a setting, when you have a component that is the display part, and you change to display the assembly.  I have one user where is changes the assembly to the work part, not allowing a work in context, unless the user makes the component the work part again.

 

First suspicion was a metric component in inch assembly, but that is not the case.

 

Where is this setting?  I'm obviously not using the right search word in the Customer Defaults.

Wrap text to surface

Hello to everyone,

 

I would like to wrap text to non developable surface (in this case it is torus, tyre profile). It is important to wrap text not to project it. Length of non wrapped and wrapped letters should be the same or with small difference

(no more than 0.05 - 0.1 mm).

 

 

 

I am new in NX and I use NX 11.

 

Thanks in advance

Update Body Measurement only when triggered not constantly?

January 24, 2017, 3:36 pm

I'm trying to work in a giant assembly (thousands of bodies from hundreds of parts) and someone has created four Body Measurement features at the assembly level.  All four of these update any time I change any tiny thing, like a Constraint.  This is taking an extremely long time.  I'd like to change the behavior of the Body Measurements so they only update when we deliberately trigger them.  (Ideally, it would act like drawing views do - where they flag they are out of date and then update when commanded.)

 

I've tried Supressing the features, but they inexplicably still update.  I've tried editing the features, but there isn't the "Associative" checkbox in the dialog that is supposed to be there, so I can't tell if that would make a difference.  Is there a setting I'm overlooking, or is my only recourse to delete the Body Measurement features and re-create them only when needed?

Additional Component when Added into a Drawing

January 24, 2017, 4:44 pm

I have noticed that when I include a view of an assembly component into a drawing for the top level assembly, NX is adding another component to my assembly.  So basically, if I have an assembly -010 and there are two -010-001 components that are part of that assembly, if I add a view of the sub component -010-001 in my drawing for the -010 top level assembly, NX adds an additional -010-001 to my -010 assembly, so no my tree says that I am using three -010-001 components instead of the two that are actually part of the assembly.

 

Additionally, if I export the -010 top level assembly, I end up with an extra -010-001 in a completely different coordinate system.  We've worked around the problem in the past, but I'm sure there is something that I must be doing incorrectly or a box I'm forgetting to check that is causing this issue.

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

How to compare NX dataset versions?

For TC-NX intergration, there is option in Teamcenter File >> Open  With...

By using this option we can open the previous stored versions of a required dataset.

 

As there is command in NX named as 'Model Comapre' where we can compare the geometries of two models. My questions is, If I have UGMASTER dataset containing some geomtery.

 

I want to compare two different versions of UGMASTER dataset of same item to find out the changes/modifications done to the geometry. Is it possible? Can we compare them in TC or NX ?

Hi

We have been  NX/Teamcenter users for 20+ years and have always use Patterns to control draing sheets.

 

We are now on NX10, but a few versions ago, new drawing template functionality was introduced, so can someone please explain the advantages of these new functions, and should we be switching to them?

I have someone who created a break out section view. If he tries to delete it he gets this error:

 

Error recovery completed for the following error:

Internal error: Memory access violation

 

The only way he can delete the break out section view, is to delete the base view.

 

Same error occurrs when he tries to 'Undo' the command.

 

Any ideas???

I'm interested in dividing a very long curve in non-equal segments.  Here's an example:

 

             x"                   y"                   x"                   y"                  x"                   y"

<--------------------><--------><--------------------><--------><--------------------><-------->

 

I need to be able to divide the curve as indicated above, but instead of just three times, a couple thousand times.  I have a non-linear, single-segment curve that lies in a plane.

 

Thanks for the help!

Creating Isocline Curves

January 25, 2017, 1:29 pm

Hello

 

I am trying to create an isocline curve on a sphere based on an input angle. Using the extract curve option, I choose the vector type as + Z axis.

 

For the angles I choose start and end angles the same as my input angle ( 0 and 89 in my case) and a step of 0 since I want a single curve and not a family of curves.

 

When my input angle is 89, it gives me an isocline as shown in the following figure

Isocline_issue_89deg.PNG

whereas for an input of 0 degrees I get the following result

Isocline_issue.PNG

Now, I am confused because as per the definition of isocline curves the angle which I input is the ''Isocline angle (between specified direction and  normals of the curves) in degrees'' as per open C reference:https://docs.plm.automation.siemens.com/data_services/resources/nx/10/nx_api/en_US/custom/ugopen_doc/index.html for UF_create_isocline curves. 

 

So as per definition above shouldnt the curves I got be opposite (as in for input angle of 89 degree i should get the curve I got for input 0 and vice versa) ? How exactly is an isocline defined in NX?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

I scanned an object on or  CNC CMM machine, from the scan I get an .iges file.

The iges file contains the curve that I scanned but its divided in lines.

When I use the command 'smooth curve string' some of the lines are not selected and I get an error 'selected section curves include branches'.

Anyone an idea what I'm doing wrong?

I want to create a spline from the lines and then use the command "smooth spline" to get get a smooth curve that I can use.

nx - how to manage designs without teamcenter

Good day to everybody,

I am considering changeng cad system from subsctription based soild edge to nx, but what stopping me is managing designs without database, teamcenter /it is beyond our budget/.

Is there a smart way to revise data, find where part is used, dependencies, clone designs, rename data, export boms, watch correct file naming etc. - in one word - is there, in nx world, an alternative to solid sdge design manager.

How can it be done?

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

Managing colour display on drafting views

January 27, 2017, 2:10 am

Hello everyone!

 

I have a very curious question. A customer needs to colour-code drafting views according to the long-established practice. I was able to produce a solid set of recommendations, but encountered the following problem - where bodies of different colours touch each other, NX colours them accroding to some hidden internal rules (or lack of). For example, where green and black body touch each other, the edge is black, while it is needed to be green. Basically, this is solved by manually removing unwatned edges using view-dependent editing assisted by colour filtering, but I wonder if it is possible to achieve automatically? Essentially what is needed is to apply a rule where for example, green or blue coloured body edge should override black coloured body edge where they overlap. I thought this might be possible to achieve using the Render Sets, but was not able to utilize them for this task. Any ideas?
