    NXcustom with Windchill

    Hello Dave, You have to locally install and register your NX versions (also takes local language settings). Then you can copy the CAD adapters from the folder WGM_Install\wgm\CAD_ADAPTERSThey are named according to the NX version, we have Windchill V11 CPS15 and it only supports NX up to NX12...

    NXcustom with Windchill

    Hello Dave, we have all major cad systems integrated in Windchill. And you have to install the workgroup manager (WGM) on all clients to integrate NX (and Catia). Creo has the WGM integrated so you don’t need to install it separately. You can copy the CAD adapters so the users don’t have to...

    How to define a two colored wire for electrical routing

    Hello, does anybody know how i can setup wire templates with two colors. this is very common for harness wires, but i cannot find any documentation on this. Thanks in advance for any help. Klaus Unigraphics NX Key user it all started with V13

    List attribute in Catia?

    Hello, we work with Catia, Creo and NX. We can create list attributes in Creo and NX (see Screenshots). Does someone know if something similar is possible in Catia? Otherwise our users would enter the wrong (predetermined) values. Thanks Klaus Unigraphics NX Key user it all started with V13

    Friction stir welding with welding assistant

    Hello, does somebody know how we could define Friction stir welding with the NX welding assistant? It does not really add material but it still needs to be defined for drawing and simulation. Best regards Klaus Unigraphics NX Key user it all started with V13

    Title block table problem

    Dear PhoeNX. Thanks for the Info. I will split the column. This will be the easiest solution without additional attributes. Thanks Unigraphics NX Key user it all started with V13

    Title block table problem

    Hello I just create a new title block. And I have a problem with a number attribute. It always shows six digits after the comma. If I use the same text outside of a table it just show the necessary digits. I also tried the style settings of the table but that does not influence shown attributes...

    NX draft body

    Hello, I need the below shown draft of a tilted cylinder in NX (also attached NX part). And the draft only needs to be added where necessary (not on all sides). Currently this is done with a few features which are not really intuitive. If I show this to our users I always get some frowns. I...

    Setup drawing standards to show sheet and sector for detail and section view

    Hello, does anybody know if it is possible to setup the NX (8.5) drawing standards to show sheet and sector information for detail and section views? Thanks Unigraphics Key user V13, V14, V15, V16, V17, V18, NX, NX2, NX3, NX4, NX5, NX6, NX7.5, NX8, NX8.5, NX9

    NX10 Sheet body could not be sewed to solid body

    Use examine geometry to find the gaps/openings in the sheet body. You could also try to use the optimization command for smaller errors. For larger openings patch opening is best. Unigraphics Key user V13, V14, V15, V16, V17, V18, NX, NX2, NX3, NX4, NX5, NX6, NX7.5, NX8, NX8.5, NX9

    Tool to suspend Catia V5 session

    Hello, I worked at an OEM and they had a tool which suspended the Catia V5 session to save licenses. All the parts (even not saved ones) where cached and the session could be restored by the push of a button. Does anybody knows now if there is an commercially tool available to do this or if...

    Section Analysis - How to measure how the section area of the pipe changes along the guide curve ?

    Hello, you could also use the sensitivity study in NX. We used it also for a cross section analysis and you can use the output in excel and also a graph. Attached is an example I created based on your description. regards Unigraphics Key user V13, V14, V15, V16, V17, V18, NX, NX2, NX3, NX4...

    Vismockup clearance results filter

    Hello, we use Vismockup to generate clearance checks and I have a question regarding the results. When the check is started there are usually many false errors which are not relevant for example bolts. In Vismockup the status of the error can be switched to not relevant but I cannot find the...

    how to design a 3D cam profile in nx

    Hello, use the attached excel file to convert the polar into Cartesian coordinates. Then export data from excel into a text file and change the extension into *.dat file and import into NX using File-->Import-->Points from File. With this points you can create a spline using the Fit curve...

    NX9 checkmate layer check problem

    Hello, I configured our companies check mate profile and also included a layer check to see if all objects are on the designated layers. This worked perfectly until now but NX9 also checks the sketch constraints and gives an error during the check. The problem is that you define in the checker...

    Unable to attach blends?

    The easiest way to get rid of faces like this without unnecessary features would be a face blend.

    Add base view doesnt use DWG part as standard

    Unfortunately we cannot force our customers to do these evolutionary and inevitable steps. And it also seems that Siemens recognized that they cannot force customers to switch so they created a variable to switch back to the old modus.

    Add base view doesnt use DWG part as standard

    Hello, regarding John R. Baker post: We sometimes need additional geometry or sketches for the creation of the drawing in more than one view. For example a camshaft with all the lobes and then it would not be very smart to create a Sketch over and over in every view. @ PhoeNX: Thank you very...

    Add base view doesnt use DWG part as standard

    Hello, our main reason to prefer it like it was up to NX7.5 is the following: Sometimes you need to create specific geometry ONLY for the drawing. So we usually created these in the drawing part file because we don't want drawing specifics in the 3D model. But if we do it like NX now intends we...
