    Has anyone attempted to use Animation Designer and Part Families on the same file?

    I have only recently learned about this issue because I dont have anything to do with Animation Designer. In talking to Alex and others here at work, I was a little surprised nobody has offered any thoughts on this. So I figured I would try to explain the issue in different words based on my...

    Request for addition to future NX

    Thanks for the reply. I have found ways around it, like taking a snippet of the tree and marking on that as I go and stuff like that. But being able to color the tree would IMO just add another level to helping organize as you work. I would just really like to see that happen. Ken...

    Request for addition to future NX

    I have no idea how to open a ticket or make an official request to have something added to NX, so if someone else does and you like this idea, please add one. lol Numerous times now I have wished I could have the ability to add color to the files in the part navigator tree. Currently, I am...

    nx2306 - Family Parts _issues

    So in digging in, I think I found the issue. The Family Part has two bodies inside it. Both are created by sketches. I found if I eliminate the sketches and have just solid bodies, I can create family members. Unfortunately I am being told currently that the customer requires sketches. This...

    NX2027 - Toolbars Question

    When I hit CTRL+1 (Customize) and then go to the Tabs/Bars tab. It lists all the toolbars. Some of these have (Custom) after them. My belief was that these are toolbars created right there in that computer. These are not reading from our Startup menu. However, I was looking for what toolbar...

    NX 2027 - Import points from excel with attributes?

    Thanks cowski. I am going to try that code out. I was hoping there was just a way to do it inside NX. Doesnt seem like there is. This might do what we need. If not, we have a guy who does coding for us now who might be able to adjust it to fit what we need. Luckily he is doing stuff for our...

    NX 2027 - Import points from excel with attributes?

    I have an excel file that has a bunch of points. Each point has an ID and a location. I have followed some instructions to turn the file into a txt file to import to NX, but it only creates points in that location. No ID's. I know I can export to a csv file and all of the attributes will be...

    NX1982 ? - Flattening and Forming

    Support? Are you saying to request this option? Or are you saying that it should carry over the attributes and we need to look into why it is not for us? Ken www.OneGodLogic.com My brain is like a sponge. A sopping wet sponge. When I use it, I seem to lose more than I soak in.

    Carpal tunnel syndrome

    Strangely with everyone using typewriters for a hundred years, nobody got carpal tunnel. Ive never heard of someone who types a lot on a keyboard getting it. t is always associated with the mouse. But isnt it the same motion really? Am I missing something? Ken www.OneGodLogic.com My brain is...

    NX1982 ? - Flattening and Forming

    When we flattening a surface, it allows you to select objects to transfer. When we transfer a point that has an attribute attached to it, the new point will have that same attribute. However, if you select a line that has an attribute, the new line is a spline and has no attributes. Is...

    Remove Text Formatting?

    Your are correct cowski It was just running slow it seems. I ran it and let it go and after a minute I caught a change in a note that lost its formatting. Another minute went by and it completed. I think what fooled me is that there is no window that pops up or anything. So it looked as if it...

    Remove Text Formatting?

    Sorry cowski Ive been pretty busy today and just had a chance to see this. When I ran it, it just gives me a spinning wheel. When I hit stop, it gave me this error.... I noticed that line has "Basework" used but I dont see any other reference to that anywhere else in the code. Would...

    Remove Text Formatting?

    Equilibriu Im not that good with VB code myself. I ran this code to test it and it seems to just make a list on the info window of all the notes that are formatted. Is that all it is supposed to do or was it supposed to remove formatting or replace something? Toost It is someone else who...

    Remove Text Formatting?

    Totally agree. It sometimes baffles me that a program so in depth does not have certain functions available to it. We are currently in NX2027 (I think?) Typically I add that to the subject line. Cant believe it slipped my mind this time. lol Ken www.OneGodLogic.com My brain is like a sponge...
