    Intersect produces disjointed curves

    Thanks for the replies. This case represents the upper situation shown in SBaugh's reply. But regardless of continuity, shouldn't the resulting intersect curve(s) be connected? Connected is enough for me in this case. But these gaps.. why are there gaps? Very small ones that you can actually see...

    Intersect produces disjointed curves

    Hi, quite often when I perform an intersect between a (continuous) set of surfaces and a planar surface, the resulting 3D curves are not continuous. There appears to be very small gaps between the curve segments. Is there a way to fix this? A bug or feature of SW(17)? We need to stick to 2017...

    Adding a rolled-back assy/part to assy

    Hi, I've a rolled back part in an assembly. The part in question is in rolled-back state, because there is a Sweep feature that for some reason will crash SW if it is unrolled. Now, I must add this particular assy to another assy in order to continue working. But SW will not allow adding a...

    Tool or workflow similar to Wave Geometry in NX

    Thank you for the answers; I think there is a acceptable workflow similar to Wave Geometry in SW. Although it seems quite as not as powerful as in NX, this particular workflow seems to work as expected. The purpose is to have a high level design intent and curvature (using industrial design...

    Tool or workflow similar to Wave Geometry in NX

    No, I don't mean constraints. In SW nomenclature I believe 'Top-Down modeling' is the closest thing that resembles Wave Geometry from NX.

    Tool or workflow similar to Wave Geometry in NX

    Hi, is there similar functionality in SW2013 as in NX that allows the linking of individual surfaces or entire solid bodies from other parts in an assembly?

    SW2013 OpenGL (?) issue

    I just finished installing our SolidWorks 2012 version and it does not appear to have this same lag issue.

    SW2013 OpenGL (?) issue

    Thanks for the reply - this solution didn't solve the lag issue.

    SW2013 OpenGL (?) issue

    Hi, I've installed SolidWorks 2013 on my Lenovo W530 work laptop (it has Quadro K1000M chip as well as a Intel 4000 chip) and I experience a lag problem whenever I manipulate the OpenGL view. Thus I think this is a display driver or hardware related issue. Whenever I rotate, zoom or pan in the...

    Defining a title block on NX 9

    Ok, I restarted NX and now the new modified templates work. I also added the scale variable into the title block - could it have been this omission that caused the error..? Somehow I would think not. Now that I have my template working, is there a way to update existing drawings to take on the...

    Defining a title block on NX 9

    Well, I checked that my part is in millimeters and also the template is in millimeters. I just edited Drawing-A3-Size-template.prt and returned it to the UGII/templates folder after making my changes. Did the same for Drawing-A3-Size2D-template.prt. Btw, I checked also your video while Googling...

    Defining a title block on NX 9

    Hi, I tried modifying an existing A3 template (I backed up the original template folder), but now when I try to create a new A3 drawing, I get error message 'Incorrect template specification. The units of the part and the template do not match.'. I'm sure I only modified the titleblock and...

    Defining a title block on NX 9

    Hi, I need to define a new title block on NX 9 and got stuck almost right in the beginning. Please see the linked image: I'm looking for solutions on the following items: 1) How do I Import an image into the table? I've tried different image sizes so far but I don't get the image to show up...

    Exploded views toolbar in NX 9

    Hi, how can one bring up the Exploded views toolbar in NX 9? I see I can use Menu -> Assemblies -> Exploded views -> Show toolbar. Nothing shows up, however. What am I missing?

    NX 7.5 Sheet metal issues

    At the moment I can continue working by using Circular Cutout with 2.54mm diameter (sheet is 1mm thick). I can then instruct in the manufacturing drawings to fill in and polish the cutout to achieve the surface finish I'm after. I've noticed that you can close corners in Contour flange but...

    NX 7.5 Sheet metal issues

    Ok - updated to NX 9 (9.0.0.19). The original model loads into NX 9 Ok, but some of the flanges and three bend corners appear as they appeared on NX 7.5. Also now when I try to create a Three Bend Corner, I keep getting 'Flange clearance must be less than the width of the flattened central...

    NX 7.5 Sheet metal issues

    Since this product makes use of industrial design - area which I'm also responsible of - I want pristine sheet metal quality on the parts that are visible. Thus I'm using Closed. I could go with Open and have the holes covered afterwards. Or use Open and leave things that way if the customer is...

    NX 7.5 Sheet metal issues

    I have been using newer versions of NX during other projects and I didn't encounter these issues back then. So maybe it'd be best if I went straight to NX9. Here is a screenshot of the overlapping flanges: The overlap is highlighted by the red ellipse. The green ellipse shows proper...

    NX 7.5 Sheet metal issues

    Hi, we are using NX 7.5 and it's Sheet Metal module gets heavy use during the current project. As the project has gone onwards, some weird behaviour (bugs?) has come up. Particularly Contour Flanges and Three Bend Corner features tend to cause problems. Sometimes when you do a Contour Flange...
