    Error new drawing: Failed to load contents of reference set when swapping reference set.

    Hello When trying to create a new drawing in NX v.1915 / 2801 this error comes. ( Assembly itself probably has some problem.) "Failed to load contents of reference set when swapping reference set." Any idea what NX 12 is trying to say ? NX 12 is unable to create a drawing for this...

    Bolts and nuts ASME SA193GRB8CL2 and SA194GR8M ?

    Hello As an European what bolts and nuts does people mean when they talk about these 2(two) ASMEs below ?: (Are they AISI 304(A2-70) or 316(A4-70/80) equivalent ?) Bolts: "SA193GRB8CL2" = ASME SA193GR B8 class 2. Hexagon nuts: "SA194GR8M" = ASME SA194GR 8M. What "GR" and all those mean ? Is...

    How to remove the section view's hinge ?

    Hello NX 11 How to remove the section view's hinge ? I now manually remove the hinge every time I make sections. - So it will stay OFF as default. Someone once showed me the correct setting but the lease on this PC ended and I had to install a fresh NX. Thanks

    Changing small letters to large with UGII_OPTION=UPPER NX 11 ?

    Someone suggested adding the UGII_OPTION=UPPER to somewhere in the portal.bat -file. Is it this C:\Program Files\Siemens\NX 11.0\PSTUDIO\portal.bat ? or this C:\Siemens\TCPROD\TC114T\portal\portal.bat ? ( The Teamcenter's "TCPROD 4-tier"-desktop icon launches this portal.bat ) - Could this work...

    Changing small letters to large with UGII_OPTION=UPPER NX 11 ?

    Now NX 11 won't start when the code is in there. Should I try to restart windows or just remove the added UPPER code. Edit the system environment variables

    Changing small letters to large with UGII_OPTION=UPPER NX 11 ?

    It seems to be using this file: NX 11 Log file: "Using environment file \\PRO-TC-001\NX_Site\ugii_env.dat" Do I need to ask the "server administrator" to change the setting ? - So my changes here are useless =C:\Program Files\Siemens\NX 11.0\UGII\ugii_env.dat ? These words are not found...

    Drawing: is month/year enough or is the day really necessary ?

    This is just a question if anybody else uses month/year ? I only ask the other NX-code question in "Siemens official forum". Why big companies demand days ? When project is created: It is done in like 1/2year: - Part 1: 1.2017 month - Part 2: 2.2017 month and such. No need for high accuracy...

    Drawing: is month/year enough or is the day really necessary ?

    I have an NX automatic template that I set every month 1.2017, 2.2017... Now I have to manually enter like 1.1.2017, 2.1.2017, 3.1.2017 and such everyday. So it is a big deal because I draw everyday. Is there autodate code function in NX 9.0 to get day ?

    Drawing: is month/year enough or is the day really necessary ?

    Hi In drawing's date: Is month/year enough or is the day really necessary ? Why people just say "write all day/month/year" ? I don't see why anybody would want the day in it ? I'm confused I have always used month/year only in my drawings and since revisions are done so rarely it is not right...

    When saving creates .bk files also ?

    "Options -> System options -> Save & Backup" I have already tried and unchecked "Save backup at each save". - But it still sometimes when saved creates a .BK file on its own. - Does it mean it does not make a "backup at each save" but creates still sometimes .bk files. Does the check box mean...
