    bending a sheet over rounded surface

    I learned a lot today, much appreciated. @John: am I right that you used Perimeter Dimension for your first sketch? NX doesn't seem to show it. And you are very right, I need a drawing about the flat object and also the input dimensions come from the flat model. So your guide works great for me...

    bending a sheet over rounded surface

    I would be happy to use Sheet Metal to achive this effect, but I haven't figured out how yet. As for Global Shaping, I have to look into it in the Help, there are a lot of options :) Meanwhile I'm waiting for further suggestions. Thank you, Attila p.s.: I'm also on 8.5, my signature is...

    bending a sheet over rounded surface

    Hi all, The rubber part seen on the attached picture has two states: delivery and mounted. In mounted state the part attached to a rounded surface, which geometry is given (radius and center of radius). How can I reach the desired form starting from the planar state (using sheet metal or...

    show non-sectioned detail on section view

    Hi again, thanks for the answers, always feels good not to be alone. @KhimaniMohiki: I already tried the method which I attached this time. It's the closest and easiest I did so far, but doesn't seem like elegant (it's an ugly solution to be honest). I'm experimenting with John's version now...

    show non-sectioned detail on section view

    Hi, I'd like to find the best solution for dimensioning an adapter plate as shown in the attachement -the original drawing is made in ProE. In your opinion what would be the best realization in NX (8.5), which is elegant and preferably involves only standard NX-tools (no tinkering). (break-out...

    Datum feature Symbol for datum plane in drafting

    Hey there, It is possible to select a datum plane for a datum feature symbol as a terminating object? Apparently not, so does any of you have an idea how to do that? I attached two pictures, the one in NX (the datum plane is green), and the one made in proE which I'd like to achieve. Thanks...

    Inserting an assembly's view in a draft

    Thank you very much! With the use of the filters, I managed at last to hide the unwanted items. I can't be grateful enough guys! NX6

    Inserting an assembly's view in a draft

    thanks for your comments! John: The csys cannot be selected, only in expanded member view. I was able to hide the axises there, but the view is still having the csys (also visible on print) as seen on the attachement. Jerry: I have done simplified referenced sets before, could you tell me how...

    Inserting an assembly's view in a draft

    Thanks, I'm using NX6 and I'm quite new to this. How to know whether I1'm working in master model? I just simply modeled the part, then used the File -> New.. command to create a drawing file for the model. Then made the assembly as a new file and returned to the original part's drawing, then...

    Inserting an assembly's view in a draft

    I have done all views of a part in draft mode; the last view would be a view which shows a simple assembly of the part with a screw in it. I made the assembly's model, and added it's view to the original part's draft (Base view -> Select part). The problem is, the coordinate system of the asm is...

    united extrude using sketch which touches the body in one point

    @Walterke: excellent question! of course the goal is not that the part to be impossible to manufacture. There are steps after that, so that edge disappears in the end. To be honest, I was trying to make my life easy when I decided to follow the steps as they are in the the ProE version of the...

    united extrude using sketch which touches the body in one point

    That's not strange at all, i was expecting solutions like you mentioned, but that is not working either. the problem is the same, no matter it is unite or subtract. NX6

    united extrude using sketch which touches the body in one point

    I can see that, but in proE this method was used, so my modell will not be identical with the original. maybe that much difference wont be a trouble; but then again, I thought there is a known workaround. NX6

    united extrude using sketch which touches the body in one point

    I've tried that too with no success. Thanks anyway! NX6

    united extrude using sketch which touches the body in one point

    Unfortunately changing the tolerance didnt't help. This must be a common NX limitation, i've tried the operation on a sample body too, resulting the same error. NX6http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=137d5ce3-59d7-42b1-b945-ac715e7a5920&file=extrude2.PNG

    united extrude using sketch which touches the body in one point

    Hi, I have to reproduce a model formerly made in Pro/E. I got stuck at one point, the picture says it all. The error message is simply 'unable to perform boolean'. Is there a workaround for this NX limitation? Thanks in advance: Attila
