    NPT thread angle in the drawing views

    Neat. Thank you. "My english is bad ? That's why i'am french."

    NPT thread angle in the drawing views

    Hello, I've been told there is a trick to change the default NPT thread angle in the drafting views. By default it is 3° but we need to change it to 1.7899106° Maybe a UGII environment variable ? See thread561-335093 Thank you "My english is bad ? That's why i'am french."

    If statement not possible with mixed units?

    Nice trick ! I'll remember. "My english is bad ? That's why i'am french."

    Can't find the 2 last constraints in a closed spline sketch.

    Thank you John. All make sense now.[rednose] But it's not easy to create a spline (from the curve menu) based on points from a sketch. They are hard to select and associativity not guaranty. ??? I instead create a poly-line sketch representing the future spline "poles". It's then super easy to...

    Dimensions do not show up in NX 8

    And if you can give as sample file. We could see if the problem is following the part file. "My english is bad ? That's why i'am french."

    Can't find the 2 last constraints in a closed spline sketch.

    I'm now editing the spline and uncheck the "Closed" option. P3 & p5 are now OK and I get the same shape at first. I can close again the spline. There is a problem with the closing point. For GTAC ? "My english is bad ? That's why i'am...

    Can't find the 2 last constraints in a closed spline sketch.

    I now change p1 to 20 instead of 126. To me, the all spline should translate 106mm to the left. .... Well ... No .... And they are p3 and p5 that are referencing a invisible point ??? "My english is bad ? That's why i'am...

    Can't find the 2 last constraints in a closed spline sketch.

    OK. It goes deeper .... From the closed spline I enter values to the auto-dimensions. Only one couple of dim is referencing datums. The other dim will make the through points "rigid" between them. Still 2 constraints needed. "My english is bad ? That's why i'am...

    Can't find the 2 last constraints in a closed spline sketch.

    Now I am closing the spline. 2 constraints needed. Which is stupid as the last point is the first. But maybe not for the sketch solving engine. "My english is bad ? That's why i'am french."http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=3895c8e7-06f3-4a17-b212-b5e177e77582&file=closed_NOK.PNG

    Can't find the 2 last constraints in a closed spline sketch.

    OK. I did a basic test. A new part file, a new sketch, auto-dimensions, an open spline through 4 points. All is constraint. "My english is bad ? That's why i'am french."http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=9bdb88f3-a7eb-4e1d-ab9d-cb2a574929d2&file=open_OK.PNG

    Can't find the 2 last constraints in a closed spline sketch.

    Hi there, On NX 9.0.3.5 I am trying to constrain a closed spline within a sketch. I added dimension for each thought point but they are always 2 constraint needed. I usually really good a this but here I don't understand why NX require 2 more. Even the "continuous Auto dimensioning" can't...

    NX9 models with incorrect shading

    Try to "export part". It will create a new part and keep all needed to recreate the solid body. "My english is bad ? That's why i'am french."

    Dimensions do not show up in NX 8

    Are the sketches "External" to an extrude / revolve ? If not, try to make them external and then "Edit with rollback" "My english is bad ? That's why i'am french."

    Dimensions do not show up in NX 8

    Did you "unblank all" (Ctrl+Shift+U) Did you check layers ? "My english is bad ? That's why i'am french."

    Break out section view : How to keep boundary curves associative to model ?

    Hi NXiens, NXiennes Under NX 9.0.3.5 I am creating a "Master drawing" and want to put as much as possible automation in it. All is almost OK, when my assembly is changing, most of the dimensions and notes are well placed. But I am facing a problem with the "Break-Out Section view". The...

    Assembly Constraints Solver

    Is there somewhere a "dependencies graph" of the assembly constraints ? "My english is bad ? That's why i'am french."

    Assembly Constraints Solver

    BTW, this assembly is under TeamCenter and it takes now ages to modify a component when the all assembly is loaded. Editing a basic chamfer can take 90s of "Updating objects ..." Really not productive. Tips & tricks are welcome. "My english is bad ? That's why i'am french."

    Assembly Constraints Solver

    Hi all, I have a large assembly, 494 objects, 500 assembly constraints (AC), but a lot are pattern. I am grouping the AC according to status. Error (0) Warning (0) Info (0) OK (500) In this assembly, I have a flange cover (pastel orange), place with two constraints (orange): - concentric -...
