    GD&T Datums for idler wheel forging

    Yeah, that's the three steps I'm coming up with as well. I think where I'm getting stuck right now is the best way to lay out those initial few machined datums to properly represent the function of the part. The initial drawing that was done used the forged bore and center plane of the wheel...

    GD&T Datums for idler wheel forging

    Right, that's what I would normally do and have done in the past. However, this part gets 100% machined, which is where I'm running into a bit of an issue. Any datum targets that are on the forging would be machined off, meaning I need to establish some machined datums based on the forging...

    GD&T Datums for idler wheel forging

    Morning Everyone, Been doing GD&T for a while but it's been a while since I've tackled castings/forgings. I'm looking for some advice on GD&T setup for an idler wheel I'm working on. The part is a forging that is then 100% machined down to the part as used on the machine. The bore is pinned...

    NX 7.5 "Incorrect object for this operation"

    I double checked that and it says "entire assembly". Just for fun I tried it with "within work part and components" and "within work part only", same result. Thanks for the suggestions so far, I'd hate to have to recreate this whole assembly.

    NX 7.5 "Incorrect object for this operation"

    John, Tried that, didn't seem to make any difference. I noticed that when I'm in the assembly as the work part, right click on a part and select move, it gives me the "incorrect object for this operation" message, then makes the previous assembly I was working in the work part, almost like it...

    NX 7.5 "Incorrect object for this operation"

    I recently ran into an issue while working in an assembly I'd created in NX 7.5 The assembly includes various part files, some parts from the reuse library, and linear and spline paths with stock created using the mechanical routing package. If I'm working with that assembly as the work part...
