That very well could be the problem, cowski. This model is an absolute mess as it's been lazily modified many times over the years. I ended up grounding one of the components before I started making my changes this time around.
I just opened the drawing and used the Update View tool and voila...
So I might have just reversed my problems. Luckily I made my new components as separate parts so I just deleted the newest revision, opened the previous revision and saved as - new revision. Now I just have to re-add my new components.
I'd still be interested to know why it would have happened...
Hello all,
NX Version 7.5
I inherited a drawing that I need to update with a few new parts. I added the new components to the model and added some mounting holes to one existing component. That's all I changed. NOW, when I opened the drawing, every single component in the drawing was rotated...
I completely agree with you. However, I'm in a situation where "That's what the legacy drawing looks like," is the governing principle rather than generally accepted standards or common sense. As a lowely co-op, I don't have much weight to argue. Hopefully, he'll accept the fact that the...
Hello all,
Using NX7.5
Hopefully I'm just overlooking the tool and this is an easy question to answer. I have a part that I created a broken view of so that it will fit on the page a little better. I would like to capture the overall length of the part in this view, but I'd like for there to be...
USING NX 7.5
Hello all,
So to get you up to speed, I've been putting together an assembly in NX that consists of a few components all with their own separate model and I was just asked to create a somewhat simplified model of a few of the components to prototype on a 3D printer. So what I'd...
The preview worked in every one of those cases so I'm not sure why none of the images show when I submit the post. The last one was posted from my personal computer so not sure why it isn't working.
I've given up. Thanks anyways.
no, don't read into the picture too much. That is just some random picture I found because this site won't let me put in a url for a picture I have of the actual situation on my google drive. I'm not going out of my way to start an account somewhere that I can host a photo on so I can post a url...
Of course the picture doesn't show... Here's a different one that should work.
In this picture, the angle of interest would be the blue angle, but the angle returned by the angular dimensioning tool returns the green angle. Selecting the Alternate Angle button returns a value for everything...
Thanks for the reply, but I already pointed out that I selected the Alternate Angle option referred to in that thread and it gives me a result that is 360 degrees minus the compliment of the angle that I'm actually interested in defining. This is the 225 degree angle that I referenced in my...
Hello All,
Using NX 7.5.
I have a general question about dimensioning that has been frustrating me for a while now. Why does angular dimensioning in the drafting environment function different than angular dimensioning in the sketching environment? In sketching, if I dimension two lines that...
Well, UGPerson, yours worked which is very frustrating because it is literally exactly what I put in the first time that was causing the position symbol not to show up. Still no idea why that was happening and I've been unable to replicate the problem today...
anyways, thanks for the help.
So I'lll try these when I get into work, but yesterday typing, <%60><+><&10> would cause the position symbol to disappear. If I remoevd the <+> it would show back up. So this isn't normal I'm taking it?
Using NX7.5. Hoping someone can show me where I'm going wrong on trying to make this composite frame. My goal is for the <&10> to be shared between the two different lines (exactly as its shown in the icon for the "Begin Composite Frame" button). The only thing that should be on the second line...
I'm not the one doing the mass analysis. I'm simply defining one part on a much much larger assembly. I'll assume they're going to be using the Advanced Weight Management tool just because of the complexity of the model.
Thank you for the quick responses.
Hello all. I've been lurking on the forum and using NX 7.5 for only about six months now, but this is the first question I've had to ask. My question is whether or not hidden bodies will contribute to the overall mass of a part. To clarify, I'm designing a part that will be tested under three...
