    machining operatins broken down to different files?

    So there is a part.starts as a casting, there are up to 17 different operations possible for this casting, Superior would like to have all linked ..so for example file 123x678 adds a bore, drawing 123x567 adds a cavity for a shock valve, drawing 123x9546 adds the threaded holes on top,,,each...

    part family assembly

    Thank you. I was thinking the solution would be something, next semster I will be in that class!

    part family assembly

    I meant to add and then turn into a PART FAMILY ASSEMBLY..there are hundreds of variations.When adding the columns if there are the same part it only adds one column Valve body, acutator A and B work ports and possible shock valves..not so time saving if i have to create subassembly part...

    part family assembly

    I was assigned a task to create an assembly of a valve stack. Up to nine different valves in a stack, each valve has an actuator on each side and the valve component could be repeated up to nine times...how do I distinguish between same component in different position in am assembly. Arggg i...

    part family

    Part family question..Making a part family of a shaft. There are about a dozen members..there are 2 Groove features that are in two of the members. So for the other ten I say no in the column for that Feature. the diameter of the grooves are different in each of the other two grooves so there...

    Part Family drawing corrupt??

    Thanks John, probelm solved..GTAC was most helpful, opened the dwg no components then ran the PART CLEANUP, closed. did the same on the partfamily template..then reopened the drawing no components then loaded the drawing with the part family member..opened fine.

    Part Family drawing corrupt??

    Drawing file is corrupt ..will not stay open.The Drawing appears for a second, flashes and then seemingly kicks out of drafting. There is a string of o/s errors in the log file??? I created a part family with 7 members, pretty straightforward shafts ...created the first drawing for the first...

    casting model won't blend..Mapping error?

    Thanks. DONE!

    casting model won't blend..Mapping error?

    Thanks for the reply..I did use tangent.There is three different sketches to carve away material aroung a boss like feature. I made each of the sketch arcs/ curves tangent at the point they intersect. A time restraints is forcing me just to make a fourth sketch to smooth out that area which...

    casting model won't blend..Mapping error?

    I am working on turning a machined part into a casting NX7.5, I have not done any casting parts in about ten years. I have ONE troublesome edge that will not take an edge blend. I believe I know the cause, probably a sketch where an arc and a line meet to make a bit of a point instead of a...

    Adding Holes In NX7.5...

    Right now I am just letting it put the hole wherever it decides..then go to drafting, dimension the hole to find where it is in relation to my datum points , then go back to modeling and tweek it till it is where I want it. Very tedious way to create a hole..

    Adding Holes In NX7.5...

    What I am failing to understand is where the WCS for the sketch is going to end up being. I pick a face to insert a simple hole and it seems if the sketch wcs ends up in a different location than I expect. I would like to locate holes not from any edge of the face or another existing hole but...

    Assembly constraints?? Why so difficult?

    Thanks I guess i will have to practice on my own time. For now I have to get this out the door constraint less...Just seems like if you say touch align face to face it is a no brainer..thanks for your reply.

    Assembly constraints?? Why so difficult?

    Any clues how to quickly figure this out because we are about to ditch trying to constrain parts. I was off a few months and come back to be forced to use assembly constraints and boy does it suck. I have spent about an hour trying to correctly position sheet metal parts with odd angles and it...
