The radius is exactly .375. Its in GTAC's hands. Our tech support for NX (ProLim) tried to figure it out. He duplicated the problem but couldn't find a fix so he sent it to GTAC. They duplicated the problem and are trying to figure it out. Software glitch.
In NX 12,dimensioning a the radius of a formed part will round up and the flat pattern callout of the bend rounds down the radius. .375 to .38 radius in the formed view and .375 to .37 in the flat pattern. We usually make the radius dimension a reference dimension in the formed view. The...
With the move to NX10 my boss wanted to add the company logo to the title block. Previous title blocks had company name (prior to a revision of the company name) and location. Problem is the logo doesn't show up when we create a .pcf (send to package file). It does show when printed to PDF or...
We are moving to NX10 and I recently inherited the task of setting up/revising the templates & settings. I wanted to resolve an issue we've had in previous versions of NX and that is the issue of the view line-weights not "printing" correctly either to the plotter or PDF. We currently create a...
Default to all - able to deselect undesired body
Be able to place and lock out of way. I'm continuously moving these boxes out of the way and gets annoying real fast.
Toggle between inch and metric within a prt file. We regularly download commercial hardware/parts/components and these are...
Using NX9 on 64 bit W10 machine. Have come across this on several occasions. Have an image file on the drawing but when sent to package file it is not visible in the pcf. We use the pcfs for viewing and printing in other departments within the company. I was thinking that I might not have some...
All but native .prt in inches.
I need to correct my explanation. While I said importing, most of the time I "open" parasolid (.x_t), STEP (.stp|.step), IGES (.igs|.iges) files and they open in metric. I was not aware all parasolids are metric, that explains some. I hadn't thought to start a new...
Since we've had NX, about 3 years now, default units for importing files/parts/geometry have been in mm. We've been dealing with it but its just a big annoyance. New file templates are set to inches. How can the units be changed to inches for importing? What all is involved? The guy that was CAD...
Thanks deedub, that's the direction I was leaning. Right now I have the trimmed or cut down version as an extracted body on another layer then added a united feature with the extracted body suppressed for the longer part for the flat. I figured this was the best way to do it as the flat pattern...
I have a formed part that is part of a weldment, basically a flat bar with 2 bends <45 deg, that has extra material on one end so the second bend can be made. Once formed, the part gets trimmed back on the one end closer to the bend. The problem is on the drawing the flat pattern needs shown...
Anyone else having issues after installing ST3 mp4? I'm experiencing loss of component replacement functionality in assemblies. No matter what, I always get and error message that the replacement part has the same filename. Am contemplating uninstalling SE & reinstalling to mp3. On windows 7 &...
I started in a new job last week using solid edge ST2. I've done every tutorial and then some over the past week. Yesterday I did some quick & dirty concept models & sub assembly in ST. The senior designer wants to use ST but I honestly think it sucks and would rather use traditional. I have 12...
I've found it easier to modify an existing template to look like the old acad version or if you still maintain acad drawings make it distinctly different to readily distinguish between drawings created by the different cad systems.
