    Material choice for 1.25" threaded fastening

    That's great, thanks all for your help! Matt Freeman, Design Engineer, UK

    Material choice for 1.25" threaded fastening

    Sorry, I'll try again: I don't think lubricant can really be used - it's an often handled part, so we can't guarantee the state the customers will keep it in, so it's best to assume it's unlubricated. Sure, you could use something pre-impregnated, but I think that's overkill. The drawing...

    Material choice for 1.25" threaded fastening

    [MintJulep] and [CorblimeyLimey]: by way of answering more than one question at a time, although it is supposed to be only hand-tight, it's going out to customers as part of a measuring system and I wouldn't put it past customers to 'hand tighten' it with a pipe wrench. On that basis, and...

    Material choice for 1.25" threaded fastening

    Hiya, I'm designing a fitting which will have the male half of a 1.25" screw thread fastening on one end. The female half is being made by another company, and is anodised aluminium. The whole fastening is going to be regularly done and undone by hand - the part I'm designing is kind of an...

    Half-etching in sheet metal

    Hi, I occasionally have to design small sheet metal parts, and our normal approach is to half-etch them along fold lines to make assembly easier. My problem is I can't work out how to do half-etching in UG Sheet Metal (NX3). Standard practice round here is to ignore this problem, and do manual...

    "Best Practice" Modeling

    Totally agree with everything written here. I've never had to work in UG on a system where this sort of resource husbandry was an issue. Having a compact model may sound elegant, but you can get in a terrible mess later when you come back to alter things. Also, it makes it harder for other...

    Creating a reconfigurable assembly in NX2

    Thanks [motorsports], but I'm working with UG in iMan (or Teamcenter as it is now), and if I simply suppress components they'll still turn up in the bill of materials, won't they? I don't want to end up ordering twice as many bits as I need... Matt Freeman, Design Engineer, UK

    Creating a reconfigurable assembly in NX2

    Thanks Pennkoff, that sounds much more promising! One minor problem, though - I'm actually running NX not NX2 (my bad, sorry) and I can't find reference to this command. Is it something specific to later versions?

    Creating a reconfigurable assembly in NX2

    Thanks dude, but this isn't like a spring or a clamp which fits together in two different positions. What I'm aiming for is more like... two table tops fixed together, with the ability to flick between having the table legs attached to one table top and the other - without having twice the...

    Creating a reconfigurable assembly in NX2

    Hi, I'm modelling a bit of tooling in UG NX2 at the moment which has two separate modes: put the components together one way it does one job, put them together another and it does a different one. It's really too simple to use subassemblies. My question is this: is there some way of...
