    Specific Weight of Materials Reference

    Anyone know a good reference for this info? Using NX I can get the volume of my tooling but I need the specific weight of the material to calculate the weight. I haven't found a good site to get this info. I'm using English units also. Materials such as Alum. 7075, 8620 steel, 4140...

    Napping to points with lines/arcs/ circles to geometry in a drawing sheet

    Hello, I am having an issue with NX7.5. I create a solid model then add it to a file I have of a drawing sheet template (inserting the component in modeling), then I add my views. In doing so I have no ability to snap lines to centers or endpoints of the part. I can get centerlines to snap to...

    Gear Tooth Geometry in NX

    No, minor dia. is not less than base dia. I'll look into it more and update this thread when I figure it out or have additional questions. Thanks!

    Gear Tooth Geometry in NX

    SDETERS I have a couple questions. I like the Expression setup in your file but I am having issues with it creating the geometry without giving errors. I can't change the major or minor diameters. Any ideas? I'm updating the following values: INPUT_Gear_Thickness INPUT_Major_Diameter...

    Gear Tooth Geometry in NX

    Has anyone dealt with drawing a gear in NX? something with correct involute and tooth geometry. If so what is the best way to go about that? I have all the data just want to know what the best/most accurate way of drawing the tooth profile in the program would be. I'm using NX 7.5 Thanks!

    Dimensioning to Theortical Intersections/Points

    Hi, Many of my drawings contain fillets and when dimensioning I would like to run my dimension to the theoretical point/sharp corner. Is this possible and if so how? Thanks!

    Linking Dimensions to Spreadsheet NX7.5

    I can just add GDT and tolerances to the cell in the edit text option so that works. I will play around with it. The goal here is to eliminate the need to go and update all these forms we have tied to the dimension when it changes so this may be an option Also the symbols referencing the dims...

    Linking Dimensions to Spreadsheet NX7.5

    Great! That helps a lot. Is there anyway to incorporate tolerances and GD&T into the P values so they are tied to my tabular note? Thanks!

    Linking Dimensions to Spreadsheet NX7.5

    Ok thanks for the info. I haven't used the relationship option in NX before but I got it figured out. I appreciate the help. Can I add expressions together to get a value to be a combination? Say I have three lengths of 2" I want to display 6" in the spreadsheet cell. Can this be done...

    Linking Dimensions to Spreadsheet NX7.5

    Actually that is what I am looking for. That is a great example, thank you for providing that. How did you go about getting that to work? Thanks again!

    Linking Dimensions to Spreadsheet NX7.5

    I was trying to do this to eliminate the need to go to multiple places to change a value. If I can update it in one place (the drawing) and it updates in the other areas where the dimension is referenced it will save time and eliminate the other documents from not getting updated. I understand...

    Linking Dimensions to Spreadsheet NX7.5

    Ok, I appreciate the info. Now say I create my solid model then dimension it in drafting. Now I create a second sheet in drafting and add a tabular note. Is there a way to link the cells in the tabular note to the first dimensioned sheet? Meaning I change a dimension on the first sheet and that...

    Linking Dimensions to Spreadsheet NX7.5

    Ok, with that being said how do I link the models geometry to a spreadsheet so that if the spreadsheet is updated it will be reflected on the solid model? I can use the spreadsheet as the driver of the model if that is the only way of doing it. Thanks, Josh

    Linking Dimensions to Spreadsheet NX7.5

    I am using NX 7.5 and would like to link the dimensions from my drafting view to an excel spreadsheet. Can this be done and how? I also need the excel spreadsheet to update if the dimensions change. I have attempted this using the "part families" option but can't seem to get the values to...

    NX 7.5 What is Master Model Assembly?

    Ok, thanks for the response. I do have experience with SolidWorks as well. Is there a site with good information on NX7.5? Thanks, Josh

    NX 7.5 What is Master Model Assembly?

    Hello Everyone, New to the forum, I'm a new drafter at a gear company. I've been told to look into master model assembly, but can't seem to find too much info on the topic. I have a NX7 book by Tickoo but no help there either. Anyone know what this concept is and how it works? Also, is there a...
