    Renumber "P" expressions in NX10

    I have found a few other discussion threads that are similar, but not exactly what I am looking for. One of our users is looking for a method (grip, journal, other) to 'renumber' all "p" expressions in a NX part file to remove gaps in numbering. Is this possible / practical? Existing: p0 p1 p2...

    NX10 reset annotation preferences to customer defaults?

    Upgrading from NX8.5.3 to NX10.0.2. Looking for NX10 method to accomplish NX8.5 function "Preferences - Annotation - Load All Defaults"? Looks like NX10 combined many settings under "Preferences - Drafting". However, how do I reset annotations, etc. to the "Customer Defaults" as accomplished in...

    Retain NX Material Library characteristics in STEP export?

    Thanks for the reply Mark. I did review the NX doc topic. Unfortunately, the density is not included in the Validation Properties, only volume, area and cg. The MASSPROP utility looks as though in could output the information.. but the customer is asking for all of the data to be included in the...

    Retain NX Material Library characteristics in STEP export?

    Using NX 8.5.3 native. Is there a current or planned method for NX to retain the solid body assigned Material in an exported STEP 203/214/other? Of most interest is the mass or weight being translated to STEP. It appears that this is not currently possible? Also, noticed that the density of...

    Print all open drawings to PDF

    While searching for a user requested solution, discovered this journal: http://www.nxjournaling.com/content/print-all-open-drawings This has been very helpful, but not quite what we need. Is anyone aware if there is a similar journal that would create a PDF of all open drawings? I attempted to...

    Feature Parameter Dimensions style?

    We resolved this by editing the appropriate drafting standard file in “UGII/inh_files” (ansi.atp.prt in our case) then go to each drawing / dimension and Load Defaults for the Style - Line/Arrow tab. Could not use “Load All Defauts” due to the method NX uses to build the Feature Parameter...

    Drawing to .dxf from NX Journaling site... not working in NX8.5 native

    We have been using the Drawing to .dxf code from “NX Journaling” in NX7.5 and it has been a real time saver. Configuring NX8.5 native and the existing code failed. Found updated code from NX Journaling site here: http://www.nxjournaling.com/?q=content/export-drawing-dxf-file-using-nx-journal...

    How to add a new material to the library in NX 7.5?

    What is the process for editing a custom material that has been added to the Site MatML Library, physicalmateriallibrary.xml file? It appears as locked in the Manage Materials dialog. Do I edit the .xml manually? Example would be a value that did not get populated or was not created with the...

    NX6 ôShow Component in Viewö component selection issue

    Thanks for the suggestion, but no, that is not an option for this specific situation. The requirement is for a view that has 25 of one component hidden using the "Hide Component in View" functionality and you want to show one of those 25, one that is in a specific location. How do I select the...

    NX6 ôShow Component in Viewö component selection issue

    So, if you go to "Assemblies -> Context Control -> Show Components in View" you can now select components from the assembly navigator? I can not do this, regardless of pack state. I can only select from the 'Show Components in View' dialog.

    NX6 ôShow Component in Viewö component selection issue

    Using NX6.0.2.8. Looking for advice for the following situation: Using ‘Hide Component in View’ functionality to hide multiple quantities of the SAME component. Then, if you need to SHOW only one or a few of that multiple quantity component, the ‘Show Component in View’ dialog does not...

    Half Etch in NX Sheet Metal

    Thanks John. Image uploaded. Previous to NX Sheet metal, we used modeling sheet metal features to create a zero tangent length flange, that was half thickness, to simulate the half etch bend areas. This does not seem possible in NX Sheet...

    Half Etch in NX Sheet Metal

    Looking for suggestions in creating 'half etch' features using NX Sheet Metal (NX6.0.2.8). If not familiar, the requirement is for the flange feature to be half of the sheet metal thickness from tangent line to tangent line. Tried to use Extrude, however will then not allow unbend or flat solid...

    Create Reference Set CSYS option from NX4 not in NX6

    We are in the process of upgrading from NX4 to NX6. There is different behavior in NX6 for creating a Reference Set. The option to "Create Reference Set CSYS" appears to not be an option. The Ref Set origin is set to the Absolute CSYS. Am I missing anything? What was the reasoning for removing...

    Prime or apostrophy added to expression in NX4

    John, have any idea why the ' expressions are showing up in the first place? The designer insists that he has not imported anything or copy/paste. The expressions just show up magically. From P0'x to P84'x. It alwasy stops at p84' no matter how many expressions in part file. This is in different...

    Prime or apostrophy added to expression in NX4

    In NX4, have you seen the situation where expressions automatically get created with an apostrophe and non descript number added? Example.. the file contains normal expressions p0 to p500. At some point, named expressions show up as p0'40, p1'40, p2'40, etc. up to p84'40. The ' expressions...

    NX4 hidden lines for overlapping drafting views

    Thanks for the info. Yeah, that's kinda what I thought, but wanted to make sure. The user told me: "I can do this in ProE..." [sad]

    NX4 hidden lines for overlapping drafting views

    The user wants the portion of the 'bottom' view that is overlapped by the 'top' view to be shown with hidden or dashed lines..
