Below find an ER of mine, if you find it useful, feel free to ask GTAC to be added to ER#7331952.

                            ER Template
                            -----------

Short Description of desired enhancement: <Problem rather than a solution>
    It is not possible to have fallback mechanisms for assembly load options.

What activity in your process is the product not able to currently handle?
    For example, it is not possible to first use load "from folder", if the component is not found use "from search folders", last use "as saved".

What result are you trying to achieve? (Please provide as many details as possible.)
    Being able to load project parts from the location of the assembly part or relative paths to the location of the assembly part
    and standard parts, electrode fixtures, manufacturing fixtures, machine tools, etc. from search folders.

Do you currently have a workaround?
    No

Do you have a proposal for the solution you envision Siemens PLM providing for this capability?
    Replace the load option dropdown with multiple selections for first, second, third, etc.

What is the level of productivity gained from such an enhancement?
    HIGH, easier way to specify locations for standard parts

                            -----------

Short Description of desired enhancement: <Problem rather than a solution>
    It is not possible to use a variable like UGII_VERSION in search paths of the assembly load options, to specify version specific search folders for standard parts.

What activity in your process is the product not able to currently handle?
    I want to be able to have one load options file for multiple NX releases, where I can specify version specific search paths.

What result are you trying to achieve? (Please provide as many details as possible.)
    Load standard parts based on the NX release or specify paths using environment variables.

Do you currently have a workaround?
    Use a load options file that contains the version in the file name, like load_options_v8.5.def

Do you have a proposal for the solution you envision Siemens PLM providing for this capability?
    Allow variable expansion as in other configuration files of NX, like using "${MY_FIXTURE_DIR}\${UGII_VERSION}" for search paths.

What is the level of productivity gained from such an enhancement?
    HIGH, easier way to have search paths specified by release or department.

Need to use relative paths in Assembly Load Options - From Search Folder.
For example to be able to read a ug_search_dirs.dat file from the current folder.

This one is related to ER#7331909 and I think both are linked together, but I don't know for sure.

Hello, 

 

We have been using Progressive Die Wizard (PDW) and facing few issues while using the PDW features. 

 

As per the attached image, when any component from standard part management is being used/added to the assembly file, some of the parts looses the inter part expression relation. 

 

This issue is not often and does not occur for all the assembly files though they are similar. 

 

 

Expression Not Updated

Can any one suggest the solution or workaround for the issue?

 

Best Regards,

Praveen

Hello,

 

To ease up the work of creating drawings I've editted the drafting standard to not show all hidden edges anymore. This created a problem which I'm struggling with to correct. 

 

 

As you can see, lines are missing when there's an arc or circle drawn. This also happens in the other (front, sides, back etc.) views.

 

Any solutions?

Are these still around?  searching hasn't gotten me much, other than a couple individual images, and old announcments to enter the contest.  At one time there was an archive, where you could go thru the various years images.

 

The question of, "how good can NX render?" came up here.

 

Thanks,

 Dave

The translucent region (say V1) is a solid cuboid body, extruded from the bottom face of the “F”

The opaque solid cuboid (Say V2) is the extrusion of a different bottom face (the one of the smaller horizontal beam making the F)

V2 is already subtracted from V1 to avoid redundancy.

 

 

I want to trim V1 so that the area outlined in black, gets removed (pic below).

 

 

To start, I extracted the faces (as in pic below) and sewed them:

 

I then used “Trim Body” Command, selected the V1 and the sewed faces as trimming faces and I got the desired result:

I got this same result even if the sort of bumped up face in one of the sewed faces was just a plane face.

My query is I fail to understand is how the Trim Body command is designed to work? Like the normal to one face is in a different direction and another face is free form with many normals, then how does the trim body command understand what volume to keep and what to remove for this case and in general?

I wish to understand this so that I can generalize this concept to trim bodies, using API,  for the application I intend to develop.

Hi experts,

I am testing utility Import Assembly into Teamcenter and the Item structure I want to get is

similar to this:

 

 

 

 

The problem is that I do not know how to select drawing and 3d files from OS in order to get the structure shown once the files are imported into TC

 

Any idea---?

Hi,

 

I have a quick question about customizing keyboard shortcuts. I am using NX 10.0.3.5 Phase 5 Patch MP7.

 

So when I want to customize keyboard shortcuts I access "ctrl+1" customization meny.  There there are 4 tabs:

Commands  |  Tabs/Bars  |  Shortucts  |  Icons/Tooltips. Automatically I thought it's a shortcut tab but later I realized that I should do it from the commands tab. So in the command tab there is a very usefull search bar where I can search for any command, but no matter which command I search for, once I find that command and click on the keyboard button, another meny opens up and it asks me to select which command i want to customize, and in this meny i can't search for an command i have to find it manually (refer the screenshots). Is this the only way to do it ?

Hi

In NX 9.0 can I create a 3D-model which has two(2) variations for it ?

• I have an insulation wire model that in 1st) assembly bends to another direction and in 2nd) assembly bends to another direction ?
• I would like to use the same name for the insulation. Flat-pattern is the same only difference is just the bend direction.

Hi everyone!

 

Is there someone who is able to explain how additive manufacturing mode works? I need some simple tutorial how to get started with this.

I cant do a save as or a save. but I can export, so it's not a total loss.

I've never seen this error before, kind of hard to send the file into Gtac when I cannot save it.

Not sure if this is the correct location for this question.  I did a search and spent a few minutes looking around and have not seen anything that helps with my issue. I upgraded to IE11 a couple of weeks ago. Now when I leave NX idle for a few hours I get this error message.  "NX 10 has stopped working"  "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" "Close program"

I am not sure if it is due to the windows IE11 upgrade or if it is an NX 10 to IE11 issue.  Any help will be appreciated.

See attached file for a screenshot of the error message.

 

thks,

Hi everyone,

 

I am working with 3d PMIs in NX 10. I have an assembly with few sub-assemblies. Since I work in a company a lot of these sub-assys are not in my owndership, so when they get updated they create new baslines or new revisions. Once I replace old revision with the new one, I loose all the references, notes, balloons and so on. And some of the changes on the models are minimum like no changes in design just change of material, or if it is a design change it's a model got 1mm longer or something like that, and i still loose a lot of references. Sometimes I have to select that NOTE is conected to 150 objects, and then when a new revison comes up I have to select those 150 or more objects again. It's a huge waste of time. Is there a reason for this happening ? Is there a way to prevent it ? What is the best practise for these kind of things ?

 

Thank you all

Hi, it is possible to snip off an area from a stl model, so that only the nearest encountered faces are snipped? I would like to eliminate a zone where there is a problem, but when I use the snip command it cuts through the whole model (as if it was an extrusion). I attach a video and the stl model I am using.

Thank you!

Hi

 

When loading assemblies NX seems to be using only one core for most of the loading process. Now and then during the loading process the other cores are kicking in. But for most of the loading process only the first core is on 100% and the rest are on 0%. Is there a way to make NX use more cores when loading so that loading time is improved?

I am working in NX 9.0.2.5.

 

My company uses standard dimensions for the overall length, width and height of a part.  For these we can use one place decimal dimensions.

 

We use ordinate dimensions for feature size and position on the part (holes, pockets, etc...).  For these, we generally use a two place decimal.

 

Is there a way to set the number of decimal places individually for different types of dimensions?

 

Thanks for your help,

 

Matt
