When I open a part file and then go into file new and go to the manufacturing tab and select the General Setup. I set the name of the part I want it called and the reference part is specified, but when I click ok I get an error saying "An invalid file is specified, for a keywork.
See Syslog for details.
Anyone have any ideas.
How can I show the autor of the drafting file, the creation date in NX manager? I can't find this values as attributes. Thank you
Hi,
As a result of my inexperience, I am currently working on an assembly which sources parts from multiple locations on my D:\ drive. However, I need to move the assembly to a new location on a networked drive so others can access it.
My issue is that if I were to copy the assembly and its child components to a new location, the assembly would still reference to my D:\ drive - this would be fine for me, but not for people without access to my PC's D:\ drive.
Is there a way to save the model and its child components into a new location, with updated component references? Apologies if this is a simple request but I can't figure out a solution.
Thanks,
Alex
Hello, Is there a way to prevent updating of all the downstream components when doing modification of a component that is part of an assemblies that uses promote bodies? everytime I do a modification on an operation, NX10 updates ALL the features of the upper level part (that contaning the promoted bodies) this eats up a lot of time.
I am having an issue in re-using a section view label A-A for a section view I had created. I originally created View A-A and later decided to delete the section and create a new section view. I wanted to keep the same Section Label - A, but NX gives me an error message saying the label is in use - although it's not in use, there is no reference to Section A in my part navigator or in any of my views. Am I stuck with not using View A or is there alternative solution?
Thanks

I've been using SE since v20, but am now considering switching to NX so I can do parametric analysis with an FEA code I have (JMAG). The code only supports certain CAD packages and unfortuanately SE is not one of them. But NX is, along with SolidWorks (which I'm also considering) and few others.
I started of trial of NX (v10 since that is what JMAG currently supports) and so far have mixed feelings. Some things I like, but some things seems more tedious to do than in either SE or SW. This leads to a couple of questions:
1. For those of you who have made a similar switch, is NX actually harder to use than SE or SW once you know it? I don't want to make the switch if it's actually going to make me less productive or be unenjoyble to use. I do mostly mechanical design types of stuff (motor and actuator design) btw.
2. Any recommendations on how best to learn it (quickly!)? Unlike SE and SW, NX doesn't include any built-in tutorials.
Thanks for any feedback on this.
Hi,
I'm looking for some feedback from other electrical routing users about how they go about dimensioning their cableform drawings for manufacture (in-house or external mfg). In particular I'm interested to know whether you put length, cut length (which includes some multiplier factor or simple fixed additional length) or both in your connection list?
We were looking at using a cut length value which is 5% longer than the modelled length in our cut list. However if we add dimensions to the flattened form, then these sizes don't have the 5% allowance. We could go with the 'as modelled' lengths (which do still round up ever so slightly when run through formboard) in our cut list so that the dimensions and cutlist made better sense, however some people are nervous about cables not being long enough when trying to install them, as assemblers may deviate somewhat from the 'as routed' path.
Regards,

How to hide 1 pc model from the parts list ?
I have created a simple cylinder then a PMI dimension, Centerline for it. While creating PMI dimension I had selected cylindrical face as associated object. Now when I hide the feature, the PMI dimension and centerline remains visible in UI.
Is this the default behaviour in NX? or Is it possible to hide PMI along with its associated feature?
Hello Guys,
Currently i'm on to nx cad and i have a presentation to give on exploring new domains in NX with examples can anyone suggest me what should i take up for presenting
I would liketo ask you for help with section view. When I use part from library, I can not to see in drawing its "cut" . I tryed lots of settings and atributs changing, looking in google, but nothing yet :/ . I guess it will be some easy setting, or NX may do this in different way. So any help is appreciated.
In the Drawing module:
in former versions there was a command called Edit Associativity which allowed me to easily give back the lost dimension's references.
In NX10 I always get an annoying message:
Disassociated leader or origin data must be corrected before full modifications are permitted?
What on earth is this for? It is no fun anymore to repair dimensions. I am better off to make a complete new dimension, even though I have to click many infos as well. I read an ad that working with NX 10 is much faster than with any earlier versions.
I have to work fluently. NX 10 has so many deteriorations. Why do we have to click so much more in this version?
How can I get rid of this message? Can I just change something it the user defaults?
Many thanks for your help.
Looking at the "save as" menu in NX11, it's pretty much a rearrangement of the same stuff, into a table format. My one question is the "reason" column, which I don't see in the help, or what's new files.
What is it, and how can I make use of it? right now, I can't seem to change it.
I'm trying to use "replace part" command in my electrical essembly but I'm getting this error. I think what's happening is it is not looking in Teamcenter when I try replacing the part. How can I fix this? Is this my enviromental variables?
NX8.5 Assembly:
Add Component Array
When using this command it automatically links new parts to a current Array/Pattern in Existing Part.
NX11 Assembly:
Pattern Component
When using this command we must manually input Pattern Count and Pitch.
Did we lose the ‘Add Component Array’ functionality from NX8.5????

Any good videos on this out there? Basically we have manager types, and shop floor types, that want an intro to NX and TC, so they can open, view, measure parts, etc. I think we are going to put together a little training session, and I thought if a short video existed on youtube, that would be a good way to start.
plain and simple question, I am trying to get my sketches to turn to the fully constraint color automatically... can not find how to do it or if it is even possible. thanks
