    Conflicting Part Units

    I forgot to attach the image - here it is.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=3614a738-454b-4c25-9a5f-46802bda020f&file=Conflicting_Part_Units.png

    Conflicting Part Units

    I would like to create an english drawing with my metric part. This is normally an easy thing to do but unfortunately I clicked the option that says 'Don't displace this message again' when trying to do this, and now I can no longer create a drawing with conflicting units. I was wondering...

    Spline/Curve export to coordinates

    Toost - thanks for your reply. I was working with files in TC and that appeared to make the difference. I exported my file and tried them both the same folder and it worked perfectly. Thanks again. J

    Spline/Curve export to coordinates

    Cowski - I did not see that forum. I opened up the file and tried it out on a spline I had already created and received a few errors. When I open the grip file I get "Error 1545031 at like 56 in Pts_Akibg_Curve_to_txt-file. The character position in the string is invalid." I have two options...

    Spline/Curve export to coordinates

    Hello, I found thread 561-272761 and was able to use the first Grip file in it to export information on a single spline (up to 100 points). I would like to export x/y coordinates for a spline/curve that I create through text curves and imported splines with more points though. I ran into a...

    Updating a table full of expressions

    Hey John, I was afraid of that. I have never written any programs for NX. The closest thing to writting code that I have done is created a few macro's for Excel. I think for the time I will continue to copy and paste data (as we do have a checker on all drawings anyway) and look into the...

    Updating a table full of expressions

    Hey John, I could do this, but this would no longer link the data. I am looking to have the data linked to the master model and if there needs to be a change, it updates practically automatically after the the desired change occurs. What I usually have found is if you can think it, it is...

    Updating a table full of expressions

    John, I have, that did not appear to work. It actually didn't do anything that I can tell. The 84 parts I have are part of a part family and the drawing is the seed part, if you will, that the part family is originated from. The only way I have been able to get these expressions to update is...

    Updating a table full of expressions

    Hello, I have a table with 84 parts in it that has several expression related items that I want to update. When I do go to update it, it does not update the parts unless the items are loaded. Is there a way for me to update my table faster (load the expressions) other than opening every...

    Thanks John, very detailed. I appreciate it.' J

    Automatically make feature sketches external

    John/Jerry, I actually found this option before, selected it and closed out of NX/TC and re-opened everything and it did not appear to work. An example of what I would like to do is: Create a new part Click on extrude Click on Sketch Section in the extrude menu Pick my plane to sketch on...

    Automatically make feature sketches external

    Hello, I often prefer to have my sketches external and I know I can make my sketches external by clicking on them and making them that way. I know I can also create a sketch, then create the feature after the fact and have an external sketch. My question is if I can create an extrude and have...

    Supressing parts through expression

    Hello, I have figured out how to turn features on and off and change sizes, etc. through expressions. I know you can supress parts in an assembly through interpart references/expressions but cannot seem to find how. Could someone point me in the right direction? I thought there was something...

    Parasolid Export Naming

    I need to export assembly parts and assemblies to a parasolid format for my toolroom, and instead of exporting each part and naming each parasolid, I wanted to export the entire assembly. The issue we are having is that once you re-open the parasolid in NX, it doesn't retain the part names...

    Basic use of Expressions

    Does anyone have a link to Expression Tutorials? I know using them expands my options a whole lot in NX. I have never used them before in NX and have been using NX for about 7 months now. I have some, but limited, experience using them in Pro E, and wanted to see what I can do in here...

    Coloring the inside of a casting to see machining modifications

    I was wondering if anyone knew how to modify the color of part body in NX 7 so that I could then extrude cut into it and have a different color when I do that. I know I can go in afterwards and change the colors, but when I used other platforms I know that it would change as I cut into it(WF4)...
