Thank you Hudson. In this case, all I want is for my seed part to have an active attribute that grabs the part name automatically. Ben

Hello, Is there a list somewhere of all the 'canned' smart attributes that are available at the part modeling level? I would like to add to my template part an attribute that automagically populates the part name; possibly more. I found these for drafting in the documentation e.g. <W@$SH_...

Thanks for the input. Unfortunately I don't have the advanced assembly license, Hudson, so I couldn't try that. Cowski, I was successful with your method. Thanks again! Ben

Hello, I'm trying to extract all the curves in a given model view, but I do not want the non-visible edges extracted. It sounds like it's do-able per the documentation, but no matter what rendering style I use, I still get all the edges of the part. Any advice? From documentation: "All in...

Hi all, We've just begun implementing TcE with NX5. In native, I had created templates and .pax files to control the file->new dialog. I had the templates env. var. pointing to a specified location. Tc seems like it's wanting the default UGII location. Even if I copy my custom files to the...

Thank you all for your advice! Have a good one, Ben

Hello all, We are looking for some different options as far as rendering NX models for sales purposes. We build pleasure boats, and would like to have the capability of creating photo-realistic images of prototype boat designs sitting in the water with appropriate backgrounds, etc. We would...

Hi all, Is there a rule of thumb as to when a good time to implement a new release of NX is (relative to release date?) We installed NX 5 right when it came out, and I have regrets. Now we've got the 5.0.1 release and are greatly anticipating 5.0.2. On an ongoing basis I am having problems...

Thank you, Tim and Robi. I've been able to clean up the file-new dialog, and hopefully not have my .pax files overwritten when UG updates. By the way, Tim - I like the comment on your signature. -Ben

Excellent! It looks like this directory has everything I need to customize the templates. Thank you so much for your help! Ben

In NX5, the file->new dialog is set up with template files. I cannot figure out how to customize or add my own template. I would also like to customize this form so it only contains the information I need. I looked through some of the documentation, but most of it referred to knowledge fusion...

Thanks for the responses! Changing the shortcut to vanilla profile is great for what I use it for. Startup is much quicker! Cheers, Ben

Does anyone know how to prevent AutoCAD Mechanical from loading the various mechanical modules at startup? I don't use any of these features and would like to remove the overhead. Thanks Ben Eddy Northern Marine

Thank you all for your tips. I finally got it to work using pattern data. This morning when I opened the drawing however, the title block would not update (portions were missing) until I opened the title block part with all the original data. I also tried expanding (exploding?) it and again...

Hello All, Does anyone regularly use a company-standard title block in NX drafting? Is there an easy way to either import an existing AutoCAD block or create one in NX that can be imported into new drawings? Ideally I'd like to have it automatically inserted when I start a drawing (Almost all...

That helps a lot, Tim... just knowing what each of the 'G' constraints implies helps me understand it much better. I couldn't find it anywhere in the documentation. So, if I have a TCM with 2 primary strings and 2 cross, 'end' under the primary strings dialog would refer to primary string 2...

I've got a 3-sided through curve mesh surface that I want to assign tangency to adjacent surfaces. If cross 2 is adjacent (shared edge) to said surf, wouldn't I assign 'end' continuity to that face? Same for primary where shared? I'm also a little confused on the G0,1,2 parameters. I'm a...
