When I first started with NX, I was trying to dimension the centerline of a revolve feature for diameter, like in SolidWorks. Then I found out that you can't actual do that in NX, which baffled me because it is such a convenient feature. But I adapted by simply dividing the diameter...
When I put the templates into actual use, the cells in title block in very first Sheet has sytanx like <WRef1*0@attributename>.
In all the subsequent Sheets that I inserted, if I DOUBLE-CLICK the cells in title block, the small pop-up shown has syntax like <WID30*0@attributename>. But if I...
Yes, that is what I am trying to do; automatically populating the title blocks.
I use Master Model method. I put all the information (part material, part name, part number, etc) in attributes in the Model file.
When I create a Drawing from the Model, I would like the title blocks to...
Hi Iklo,
Thank you for the information. I am using Object Attribute. I tried using Part Attribute and everything does update accordingly across different sheets. But I need to use Object Attribute because I need to grab attribute from the model file.
I don't have the drawing and sheet...
Thank you for reply, Tomas.
The reason I am doing this convoluted way is that I want to provide a central location for all the cells in title blocks to get model attributes from. Because in the current template that I am using, the cells in title blocks in drawing grab attributes from the...
I am on NX10 MR2. I got a question on "synchronizing" attributes between two files.
I am using the Master Model approach. I created a part template and a drafting/drawing template. I created several attributes in the part template and also created same attributes in drawing template.
Then...
Oh!!! A topic on mouse.
I used to use mouse back in high school but saw a friend of mine using Logitech TrackMan Marble FX Trackball to play Duke Nukem with amazing strafing moves, I make the jump to trackball and have never looked back.
I have gone through several Logitech trackball models...
No offense...I almost thought you were making a joke.
Solidworks cannot compare to NX...Solid Edge is a better comparison but not NX.
I haven't used SW since 2009 or 2010 and SW is on life support. DASSULT really messed it up.
NX is a bit harder to get used to if you come from SW (like me)...
I don't think you should apologize for your "stupidity".
I appreciate you posting your problem and also the solution for it. Although I did not encounter your problem, I did learn something and checked off "Extracted Edges" a moment ago.
Thank you, sir, for taking the time to write up your...
I am currently running NX9.
I remember in NX8.5, the Assembly Clearance command has "Ignore Mated Pairs", "Soft Interference" and "Hard Interference" options. But I just can't seem to find those options in NX9.
Are those option moved? Or, replaced with other options?
Can someone shed light...
@cowski,
Thank you for your reply. No, we don't use a layering standard when doing 3D models. I think the main reason is because our components are simple.
But I would like to know more about this layering standard. From what you described, I noticed the words "reference sets" and...
@John
Thank you for your insight into the future direction of NX. I guess the move to Master Model approach is inevitable, even lower-end CAD package are using it.
Is there like a standard or a guide on managing files using Master Model Approach?
The biggest issue that I face is probably...
I use Master Model approach to assemble components. We almost never make drawings for assemblies, except for exploded parts drawings.
So, I take it that in this case, it's not particular advantageous or disadvantageous to use Master Model approach?
I am still debating. I have a tendency to...
We are using NX9, no TC.
I was going through settings in Customer Default and noticed that there is something called Master Model. Out of curiosity, I did some research. It turns out that it is actually the recommended method for CAD. I worked with Solidworks and Solid Edge before and Master...
Thank you for letting me know it's a bug. I thought I just need to tweak some setting to make it work.
The only thing I miss from SolidWorks is the ability to place thread size dimension anywhere along the thread easily. NX fixes the placement to one location only, and it's not changeable.
I...
Hi all,
I am using NX9 (9.0.1.3).
There is a strange problem I am encountering. I have several threaded holes on a part. A Section View was generated from it. I used Hole Callout to dimension the threaded holes for 2D drawing. But one of the holes cannot even be selected. This is not...
Sometimes we change dimension that requires both die-casting and machine version to be changed.
Sometimes we forget to change one and it creates confusion in the future.
Hi All!
We are designing a part that is made by die-casting and then machined to the dimensions we need.
Is there any way of having two sets of values within the same model file / feature tree? One set for die-casting and another set for machining.
Or, is there some other way to do this. We...
