    Migrate file

    The drawing borders will be migrated across on their original layers so it should be easy to identify them. Most entity types will remain the same in the migrated drawing, including symbols. It's been a while since I've done migration but check the settings to see if you can exclude layers to...

    assembly creation from excel in teamcenter integrated NX

    The code on this thread loads parts from Teamcenter into an assembly. You may be able to combine the 2 scripts to achieve what you want. Mike Hyde NX12.0.0 with TC11.3 and Vis 11.3

    Is it possible to override mass in NX?

    Just to explain the differences in the methods - Assert Mass acts on the part but does not change the mass of the bodies. We use this for black-box items to set the mass and COG for the vehicle weight roll-up where we only need it to be correct at part level. Cowski's method acts on the...

    NX12 Synchronous Modelling Group has Vanished

    I've had a similar issue where users are unable to access some commands in drafting and I found that their role is the cause. Clearing their profile and using the default role cures the problem. Mike Hyde NX12.0.0 with TC11.3 and Vis 11.3

    NX11 Team Center Preview?

    The default is to create the preview image from the screen when the part is saved, however you can define your own preview at any time from File/Properties then select the Preview tab. The image can be created on demand from here but be aware that the image will not automatically update if any...

    NX12.0.1 Installation

    I was getting errors with 7-Zip 16.04 but I downloaded 18.01 and it now works for me. Mike Hyde www.astonmartin.com NX12.0.0 with TC11.3 and Vis 11.3

    NX 11 material atribute was reset ...

    We had this on a few parts when we went to NX12 from NX10. It seemed to only affect parts that had originated in NX8.5 - somehow the material definition was removed in NX10 but the attribute remained and the bodies retained their density. Starting in NX11 this mismatch is tidied up by clearing...

    Need a name of nx11 custom folder for sheet metal application

    Looks as though it's UG_APP_SBSM for sheet metal. I create my own 112x112 icons in either Paint or GIMP. To make the background transparent set the colour to R255 G0 B255. Mike Hyde www.astonmartin.com NX12.0.0 with TC11.3 and Vis 11.3

    Embed Your Company Font into NX File?

    We have seen an issue due to Arial Unicode MS not being included in Office 2016. There was an SFB issued recently about this. If the font is not installed on the machine I think NX will go through the font list until it finds one that is installed. Mike Hyde www.astonmartin.com NX10.0.3 with...

    Set Settings for interferences with Journal

    Just tried using favorites and that doesn't work either on this dialog box. You can record a journal when using this command so you should be able to modify this to perform the measurement type that you require. Mike Hyde www.astonmartin.com NX10.0.3 with TC11.2.1 and Vis 11.2

    Set Settings for interferences with Journal

    Have a look in the Customer Defaults under Gateway/User Inteface. On the Options tab check the box by Save Dialog Memory between Sessions. If this is locked by your admin then you could use Favorites as an alternative. These can be saved by clicking on the cog at the top left of the form. Mike...

    Are You Using Modern Fonts?

    When we switched to BS8888 a couple of years ago we went to Arial Unicode MS. I am now in the process of changing to Arial as Arial Unicode MS was included as part of Office 2013 and but is not included in Office 2016. This is causing some problems with our newer machines. Mike Hyde...
