Section view and hole table

$
0
0

Hi everyone, I was wondering about this thing. 

If NX recognize the different hole when i'm doing a dwg using the command "hole table", is there a way to see also in the section view those datas?

For example if I have the holes A1--->A9 , B1-->B3, C1-C2 and I make a section view through A3, B2, C2 I would like to see near the hole in the section view the name of those holes.

 

Hope to have explained the problem clearly.

 

Thank you in advice.

Hello,

 

is it possible to change the unit of inch threads?

If I choose a Inch thread the diameter and the depth is changing to inch but it would be much easier for me to have this in mm

Thanks for your help!

Feature Control Frame don't snap to Datums

Recently we installed NX 11 and I have an issue in Drafting mode.

 

When I "Select Termination Object" for "Datum Feature Symbol" I can't snap "Feature Control Frame" into it.

If I remove "Select Termination Object" for Datum Feature Symbol then "Feature Control Frame" snaps without problem.

 

I didn't have this problem in NX 10. Any idea how to snap those two together?

Can't WAVE link a sketch segment, that is referenced, as a Composite Curve

$

Hello,

 

Recently installed NX 11 and it seems you can't WAVE link referenced sketch curves with the Composite Curve WAVE Geometry Linker? 

 

This seems like new behavior (correct me if I'm wrong).

 

We do top-down, interpart modeling and our top-level source files typically use referenced sketch curved and we want to be able to WAVE those in without having to ask the source file owner to make all the sketch elements active. 

 

Any suggestions, is there a setting to change this behavior?

 

TIA,

Selection lag - click and drag

$

good evening. I didn't really want to resort to a forum to try and get an answer to this, but i've been struggling to find a solution to my issue. I've recently swapped over to a workstation laptop from my desktop.

 

within the Drafting side, i am getting what i can only describe is a type of lag when i'm trying to move items around the drawing sheet - this includes base views aswell as text. 

normally i would click on the text and it would drag instantly over to the location i wish it to. Now it seems to be a good 50mm before the text actually moves to where my cursor is. 

 

it isn't a massive problem, more one of those annoying niggles. I thought that it may be a Selection Preferences issue, but all options appear to be the same as my previous desktop machine.

Win 10 on Mac Pro Hardware (Bootcamp mode) FEA

Hi,

 

We are considering buying new Mac Pro hardware (Garbage Cans) and running Bootcamp Windows 10.  We currently run FEA and Millfound.  So, question; if we get the best hardware setup on the Mac Pro (6-core, 64GB, SSD, D700) and install Windows 10, will there be joy in my future or pain??  We don't like choppy graphics, crashes, hiccups, or video driver crashes - as non of us do.  Any compatibility issues with NX in this setup?  Just wanted a sanity check before spending 6K on new Mac Pro's.

 

Thanks!

Extruding text for a label

$

Hello,

I'm attempting to make a simple label by creating text curves and then extruding them a short distance.  At first, I can get a few lines to extrude up as a unit, but eventually it junks out and different parts of the text curves fill in.  For example, that triangle in an "A" and the center circle of an "O" are filled in, so I am having to spell each letter out of a word to get the extrude to work.

Why does this happen?  Is there anything I can do to fix this? Irritating and time consuming.  Thanks


Deformable component

NX 11.

 

I'm trying to make a deformable component, for a flexure.  All I need to change to alter the defomration, is an angle, but so far I have had no luck.

 

Angle is the expression the user should be prompted for, when adding to an assembly.

 

What am I missing?

Missing definitions in imported assembly and not movable geometries

$

0

Hello all,

I am working with NX MCD only a couple of days now and have some basic questions I could not figure out by myself until now. I am working on a simulation of an assembly, which was created in Solid Works and was saved as Parasolid. Because some components were missing when importing the whole assembly, I try to import them now afterwards.

My question now is how to import assemblies without loosing the connections between the parts. When opening a Parasolid in NX all the definitions are gone, which makes it pretty hard to move them around and define their position in the room. I only need these assemblies for visualization, so that their parts do not need to move separately. Is there an option in NX to define an assembly as a dead body?

On the other hand I was wondering why some assemblies do not show up in the assembly navigator and cannot be moved at all because they seem to be treated as parts. Why is it not possible to move simple geometry parts like assemblies?

Thanks for any help!

Selected Curves Won't Highlight In Features

Hello All,

 

I am having a problem in different features to get my curves to show up.

Such on the attached JPG file.  You only see the two end points.

Anyone know how to get my selected curves to show up.

It even happens with picking the edges for fillets, can't see the edge very well at all to select.

 

Thank you, Rick

Boolean operations (NX and CAD in general)

$
0
0

Hello, I understand how to use the boolean operations in NX, and they work reliably. What I want to understand is, why do the boolean operations in NX (and Solidworks among others) work in a specific way, and Proe/Creo in another? With NX you can define which bodies to operate on, wheras with Creo, it will only operate on ALL bodies in the part at once. So with Creo, you don't have the ability to specify which bodies to operate on, but on the other hand, with NX you MUST define a body to operate on, you don't have the ability to define for example an Extrude feature which will subtract any body in it's way (which is very convenient, will save many features, and prevent lots of work redefining all the features if the number of bodies change later on). As I vaguely understand, these two philosophies have to do with how CAD technology evolved from non-history based to history based modeling.

 

What annoys me is, every time I'm forced to deal with the aforementioned limitations of boolean operations in NX, I think to myself, why can't this be solved? Afterall, it's all just code and algorithms. Why is it not possible to have for example an Extrude feature which combines the best of both worlds? That way when the user selects Unite, Subtract or Intersect from the dropdown, in addition to the Select Body prompt, there appers a checkbox which says "All Bodies". When the user checks this checkbox, the previosly chosen boolean operation will act upon any and all bodies which happen to interfere with the Extrude body. The Extrude feature will then update when the number or type of bodies change later on.

 

Mold Wizard: Problems creating a master mold for interchangeable molding parts

$

Hello everybody,

I am creating a mold to form different molding parts. It shall be a master mold, because I want to change the inserts for different molding parts.


I have initialized a new mold wizard project with the first part. Using the same function "Initialize Project" I have loaded a second part. In the assembly you can see two "_prod", one for each. See the attached picture.


When I now use the functions of Mold Wizard, for example "Create the Workpiece", or "Define the areas" (Function #1 and #2 in the attached picture as an example) it always refers to the second loaded part (Product #2 in the attached picture). I do not know how to do changes in the Product #1.


When I delete Product #2 ("TSG-Stammwerkzeug_prod_158") and try to use the functions of Mold Wizard, it tells me that it can not link to an active part.


Does somebody know, how I can tell NX which "_prod" I want to work in with the mold wizard functions? Please tell me!


Best regards

Sascha

Get the display name of all Part Files under a teamcenter folder using NXOpen

$

So the objective is that when we clone an existing assembly in NX, the designers clone a lot of parts which they later decide are not needed and would like to have renamed with obsolete written in their name. I have the renaming functionality done, but I need a way to get every part in a particular folder in teamcenter, that may or may not be attached to that particular assembly. Normally I get all the parts by having the assembly open and then using the getchild functionality, but since in this case I want to obtain parts that are in the same folder but not in the assembly, I require another method to obtain that list. Please if any one has any suggestions I'd appreciate it.
