In the NX9 resource bar, I had two material tabs. One was "System Materials" and the second was "Materials Library" (this pointed to a lwpda.lwa file).
In NX11, I have "System Studio Materials" which I think is the same as NX9 System Materials. Can I get the NX9 Materials Library equivalent...
Hi,
I frequently use heat-set threaded inserts in our 3D printed parts. In NX, I created macros and user buttons in the tool bar for each insert size which was great until I switched to NX9 and the macros stopped working. I read journaling isn't affected by upgrades so that is what I want to...
Can anyone recommend a beginner's NX administrator training course? I often play around with customer defaults, templates, libraries... never successfully. I'm looking for a introductory course but preferably fast pace.
Thanks,

Yes I've used expressions. Assume "constant" is an expression. In my sketch, I have to type the follow formula...
Constant*round (12.6/Constant)
12.6 is just a number I made up but it will always be different. I want to create a formula so I can just type. ..
MyFunction (12.6)
It's like a...
Can I create a custom function in NX? Maybe a function isn't the proper method but I want to apply the following calculation to multiple sketch dimensions with unique inputs.
function(n)
Input:
n - desired length
Output:
constant*round(n/constant)
Thanks,
Scott
I'm printing mating parts with very small interfacing features. Using 0.1mm clearance for the X and Y usually works fine but I have issues in the Z. I assumed it was because 0.1 is less than half a layer thickness and if the slicer software needed to round it to the nearest layer, my clearance...
Hi,
I created an expression that converts a desired dimension into the closest dimension our 3D printer can theoretically print. This is dependent on a user defined drop down attribute for normal (0.01") or fine resolution (0.007").
Printer_Resolution*round(Desired_Dim/Printer_Resolution)...
Thanks John,
Exactly what I was looking for. This isn't something I absolutely need. I'm trying to expand my understanding of NX's features so this will be a good exercise and useful if I'm successful.

Hi, my designs frequently require tapered holes for heat-set inserts like this one from McMaster Carr (link).
I am able create the hole from the Insert>Design_Feature>Hole, Type - General Hole , Form - Tapered, but I have to look up the Diameter, Taper, and Depth every time. Is it possible to...
Jerry - I couldn't toggle the display numbers. #1 seems to be locked to the laptop's monitor. However, I did toggle my primary display to #2 and this worked. This is an acceptable solution but I would keep the laptop monitor my primary if I could so I tried what uwam2ie suggested.

I'm using a laptop with an additional monitor. When I maximize NX on the monitor (1920 x 1200), it extends beyond the display. It seems to be using the resolution from the main display (1600 x 900). Other applications are not doing this. Any suggestions?
I'm trying to view component's density and/or volume in the assembly navigator. I have a column "MassPropDensity" that shows the value when of the component when it's the displayed part but when I make the assembly the displayed part, the column is empty.
I'm using NX8. In the past, I used to...
Does anyone have experience with ANSA's NX translator? I'm trying to figure out how data and attributes are recognized in ANSA.
I think ANSA translates what ever was visible when the NX part was saved. If a midsurface was saved on layer 10, then layer 10 needs to be visible when the part is...
