NX 10, TC 10
Somehow during the re-constraining of an imported assembly, the entire assembly became mis-aligned to the world in more than one direction, in other words, by a compound angle. It is also a great distance off of global 0,0,0.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a method to rotate and move the assembly so that it is square to the world.
Thanks.
Just a general question about the use of this forum.
What am I supposed to put in the "Message Tags" box?
I'm trying to dimension a gauge point using a diameter and distance dimension as shown here:
I created a sketch within the view and dimensioned a point placed on a part edge from the 3D centerline I created from the OD of the part. It seems that you cannot create a driving dimension from a 3D centerline, but I don't know how else to get a diameter dimension in a detail section view like this. Any suggestions?
Also, the axial dimension of the gage point will be from datum A which is on the other end of the part and outside this detail view. How should I create this dimension? The best idea I have so far is to sketch a line off the page, create a single-sided dimension, and override the dimension value. I could also put both views on one page but I'd like to avoid that so I can have a larger scale view.

NX Experts, Hoping you all can help out a NX Newbie...
I want to drive a component of a sub assy from the next higher level assy.
I have looked into Arrangements and Deformable parts but I'm hoping this is much simpler than these methods.
The typical Pneu Cylinder is a perfect example:
Option 1.) If the stroke length is the "driving" factor I agree that arrangements is the route to take...
but
Option 2.) If the stroke length is irrelevant, such as if the Cylinder is being used as a damper, the stroke is "Driven" from other components
I'm looking for a solution for Option #2. I have a simple 2 part sub assy: Cylinder Body and Rod. I Constrained the Axial relation of the rod to the body and set a parallel relation to limit rotation... so the only DOF left is stroke lenght... I don't want to set this length but allow it to be "Driven" from upper level assy constraints...?
Is this possible... How do i tell NX to drive under-constrained sub relations from the active assy.
I have found the option within Arrangements to "ignore all constraints" but can not seem to get this to work either...
TIA!!!
Hi Experts
currently we have NX native users, our manufacturing users sent us a request to evaluate below product
http://www.3dcs.com/tolerance-analysis-software-and-spc-systems/3dcs-software/siemens-nx-integrated
can any experts who worked with similer products on NX/UGS suggest which products from Siemens can give this feature to existing NX, what will be license name that i should be buying from siemens/evalutate/demo
Is there anyway to disable them? Experience has shown no added benefit other than they look cool. On the other hand the machine shop hates them when programming, drawings look cluttered, etc.
Is there a way to just copy and paste an image into a drawing sheet?
I use one of the journals on the NX journaling site to grab an image to paste in office apps.
Is there a way to take this image in the clipboard and paste in onto a drawing sheet without having to save as a an image 1st then inserting it into the Drawing?
I have tried all the possible method to unfold attached part using analyze formability(one-step),please someone can fix it and let me know how to get a a unfold sheet,thanks very much.
Hello PLM Community,
our project team has designed a test rig/test device for transportation, separating and welding of cans.
What i have done so far:
- exporting the parts and assembly (NX10 and Teamcenter)
- import the files in NX 11 (native)
- creating rigid bodys and collision bodys
- defining the joints, sensor and actuators
- using the sequence editor to define the tasks and condition objects
- using the signal adapter to combine multiple conditions (e.g. limit switch a =true & collision sensor b =true)
The Problem:
- the software department would like to import the data in twincat 3 in order to develop the software, i used RMB -> Export PLCopen XML, but that does not work properly. It looks more like a blank page.
In the end it should look like figure 102 on page 96 in the MCD_Quick_Start guide. I hoped that i could export a sequence diagram.
Do i need additional software or do i have to set up the operations in a different way?
Best regards
Patrick
Hello,
Does anybody encountered the problem that in NX11 you cannot define/save custom drafting symbol?
I tried it in NX10 and it worked, but in NX11 did not.
Thanks for your help!
I need to create a pattern along a spiral that will iterate a feature every 137.5 degrees along the path. Since the arc length is continuously changing as the spiral "tightens" I'm not sure how to correctly input a formula that will vary the arc length as the path continues. How can I iterate this feature along the path to get a consistent angle around the spiral with respect the the previous iteration?
Does anyone know why version 11 does not select all bodies and faces? Always missing, I have to frame several times. Much time wasted ...
Hi,
I am running into a problem where sketchs become large enough to where the large sketch settings apply. At that point the "create inferred constraints" setting is turned off. Problem is that you have to continouly turn it back on. IE, i want to add a profile, open sketch (in task enviroment), click CIC (create inferred contraints button) or click checkbox in sketch settings tab, then click profile button and it is disabled there also, so click CIC button again, then draw geometry. But now after drawing said geometry, the CIC option has been disabled once again. Every time i want to create a new curve while still in the sketch editor task enviroment, i i have re-click the CIC after pressing the desired curve button (ie profile, rect., circle, trim mirror ect...)
This is extremely annoying and makes editing these sketch very tedious. Is there anyway to turn off the large sketch optimization settings in the customer defaults?
Dear expert,
I want to know how to check tangent faces in NX 10.0.3.5
I created a fillet using edge blend and face blendfeature then I use reflection shape to analyze it .
I found between faces are not tangent .
Hello all,,
One of my customer is having a temp license where in which it is a floating license and it is not working on his server machine but when i tried in my laptop it is working and i tried few other PC's even they are working so what might be the reason it not working on server machine.??
any suggestions to look into!!!
Hi,
only a question, autoballoon position is strange, then I ask which logic use NX to position autoballoon.
Hello guys,
I need to perform wrap operation on a cross section which has fillet in it. (Kindly see attached)
Wrap curve option fails since the entire curve is not developable about a common plane.
Is there anyother options to perform the same in NX ?
Thanks
NX10.0
Hello,
How could I set the default size, height of the text of the balloon?
It's far not the best to be the same size as the dimension.
Thanks for your help!
Dear community,
I am here with a problem of making specified boundary for my base view.
What i did,i just oriented the view with datum using Orient tool option in base tool.after doing this only manual rectangle&automatic rectangle option only working.Bound by objects not working.
my intention is the view will update accordingly when i repostion datum and also the boundary has to update(lets say boundary value center rectangle (400 x 400).
Expecting quick answers,.,i am so stuck with this.
