    Premature Exit of week long running code

    Took me a bit to figure out why you coded it that way, but I like what I think that would do. It doesn't solve how everything will run fine for 13 or so hours and stop, but it would definitely make everything run nice and smooth. I could posibbly remove the counter and just go straight to the...

    Premature Exit of week long running code

    The code is relatively simple as follows: ' Used to stop the program when button is pushed Private bStop As Boolean Sub CollectData() ' ' test Macro ' Macro recorded 11/8/2017 by teeyanaw ' Dim loadA_Colm As String Dim loadB_Colm As String Dim load_Row As Integer Dim...

    Premature Exit of week long running code

    I have written a code to pull data from an excel spread sheet which is being continuously updated by a program called WinDaq. The data is load cell data and the intent is to let this run for a week and pull data every twenty minutes. For some reason after 13 hours the code just stopped. The...

    Inventor 2018 Creating Templates

    I am working at creating templates. One thing I would like to add is the parts list to the actual template. Thus ensuring it is always in the correct location. However Inventor's tendency to associate the parts list to a specific view, which is allowed due to the flexibility of inventor's...

    Scan Misalign

    Hey, I'm relatively new to this program, though I have completed the two day training coarse. This issue did not arise during said training. I am scanning a relatively simple piston. I have the piston on the support arm raised level with the scanner to allow for definition inside the...

    Exploded Views in NX 9

    In NX 7.5, this was a little convoluted, but it worked. I would create the explosion, adding the guide lines, in the model side of the drawing file. But to get it to show up on the drawing I would go to View -> operation -> save as, and save the view of the explosion, then I could select this...

    Drawing vs 3D CAD Model

    We are designing this for a customer who will source it. I have no contact with the supplier as a result. So I have to make the drawings / model as clear as possible. Thanks for everyone's help by the way.

    Drawing vs 3D CAD Model

    Hey cowski, Yes I've tried the different overflow options. And Examine Geometry either Passes everything or there are no results. (I have never found Examine Geometry very helpful) I can get a radius so long as the value is smaller than .3 mm, and no casting, scratch that, no cost effective...

    Drawing vs 3D CAD Model

    I have been using Unigraphics since 2008, I have over 20,000 hours in the seat. Though with NX 9, which we have only just gotten I only have about 400 hours in the seat. I have used ever option, including trying to use my own sweep sketch, but they won't join, and due to the complex geometry...

    Drawing vs 3D CAD Model

    ...of problems or to provide the person receiving the part elements they can check. Which puts me in a quandary as to how to solve this problem. *sigh* Unless someone knows a good say to use documentation to allow the manufacturer to put in the necessary radius. I'll take this to the Siemens...

    Drawing vs 3D CAD Model

    I have a model that will have to be cast, but it has some very complex shapes. Using Unigraphics, I am unable to get a radius into a region I KNOW they are going to need it, the program just will not put the radius into it. So here's my question. The Model will be sent to the customer along...

    Template Drafting Preferences

    Version NX9 Using Master Model Windows 8.1 This is an interesting issue. IN NX 7.5 I could create a template and set the drafting preferences, such as font and size and when that template is opened those preferences were maintained. In NX9 this is mostly true, most of the set preferences are...

    PDF Creation Options in NX9

    John, As shown in the image above, there is no down arrow. That is what I would have expected. My only conclusion is I need to activate those options somewhere.

    PDF Creation Options in NX9

    Thanks but that's not it. The "watermark" was text that was entered on the pdf options. There was a check box next to watermark which allowed the user to easily select or deselect the option. In addition all of the options, currently under Gateway, were changeable on this interface. I...

    PDF Creation Options in NX9

    Some how on my current computer ( I recently switched) I do not have all the pdf options available, including adding watermark. I have found these options in the customer defaults -> gateway, however, current practice has us using a watermark for Work In Progress pdfs, and removing that for...

    JS tolerance questions

    The company I work for recently asked us to use machining tolerances for the hole and shafts that we have been working on. I am unfamiliar with these, and though I have found several charts on line, I would like one clarification. Capital JS vs lowercase js. I believe that the capitalized...

    Changing line weight of text in dimensions NX 9.1

    I found it, the text style has to be set as a Unigraphics font, such as blockfont. Then the three familiar options of Thin Width, Normal, and Thick Width will become available. These options are apparently not available with the other font options.

    Changing line weight of text in dimensions NX 9.1

    I have searched the forums for this particular question and having not found anything I can only assume the answer is simple, blatant, and right in front of my nose. I am working on a drawing created in NX 7.5. In which the text on the dimension was set to the medium weight. It was simple...
