    thread561-290743@FrankSwinks: I stu

    All components are visible, no hidden geometry, all layers selectable and components are fully loaded. Puzzling for sure. Thanks, RJ NX 12, Teamcenter 11, Windows 10

    thread561-290743@FrankSwinks: I stu

    thread561-290743@FrankSwinks: I stumbled across this utility to export parasolids from an assembly. Super nice tool but I'm finding that it doesn't export all components of my TC based assembly and I can't seem to figure out why. Any thoughts? I made sure all components were fully loaded and it...

    NX 1969 EDIT > SURFACE > X-FORM - D

    You are correct, you can select an entire row of poles in one shot, my challenge is that if I have the first 2-4 poles along one row that are off plane a tiny amount there is no way to project to a plane in a single operation. You can pick them with Ctrl+ selection but then there is no way to...

    NX 1969 EDIT > SURFACE > X-FORM - D

    Thanks for the reply Jerry but this is a non-planar surface, C3 curvature, so that won't work for my situation. Thanks, RJ NX 12, Teamcenter 11, Windows 10

    NX 1969 EDIT > SURFACE > X-FORM - D

    NX 1969 EDIT > SURFACE > X-FORM - Does the X-form tool allow you to "planarize" a group of surface poles without doing them individually? Maybe I'm missing something in that dialog but I'm unable to find the ability to basically project a user selected group of NURBS surface poles to a specific...

    Making a drop down menu in a Feature dialogue box

    Did you try making it a User Defined Feature? That would allow you to alter the length infinitely or select from a specific list of standard lengths. Hope this helps, RJ Thanks, RJ NX 12, Teamcenter 11, Windows 10

    Open part problem (load object on demand)

    There may be an interpart expression involved that is causing the dependency between the two component parts. You can look in Tools > Expressions to verify. I hope this helps! RJ Thanks, RJ NX 12, Teamcenter 11, Windows 10

    Assembly drawing situation

    Hi All, More details based on recent feedback: I'm already using FCP to create and maintain an associative flat solid. No issues with the flat solid at all. We don't use Master Model concept here and will most likely never do so. Primary objective is to avoid adding a second instance of the...

    Assembly drawing situation

    Hi Guys, Thanks for the feedback. I've already tried the View From Part functionality but that tends to add complexity to the part file that an average user wouldn't understand, IMO. Plus, it still has an issue with eliminating the folded flex in that view to isolate only the flat solid. Again...

    Assembly drawing situation

    Hi All, I'm looking for a good workflow for an NX 12 assembly drawing where I have a component in an assembly that is a flex circuit. I need to show both the flat solid and the folded solid on different drawing sheets but don't want to use a Reference Set that has both due to display issues in...

    Journal to create reference set

    Did you try just turning off that function Customer in Defaults? Bob

    Unfold / Flat Pattern

    You might try using Insert > Sheet Metal > Metaform to flatten this part. It's UI is a bit odd, be forewarned.

    STP file export

    There's a significant problem with using IGES for this task, it breaks down all the solid bodies to sheet bodies. I consider that a show stopper personally. Another approach is to do the STEP export from the assembly level, the STEP file will inherit the name of the top level file it was...
