I also prefer to build my models so that they match what is being done on the shop floor, which is why I decided to try using assembly cuts. But since we are just starting out with CREO, I am not necessarily held to doing things this way - as long as the final model represents the actual part...

I am starting a new project using CREO 2, and before I get too deep into the project I would like some ideas on how to handle the following situation: We make small engines (think lawnmowers), and our crankcases are die-cast aluminum with a cast-iron liner that is cast into the aluminum...

Ah, there it is! Is it possible then to specify whatever hole size I want? Or am I limited to the drill size for whatever thread is selected? Using NX7.5 & Creo 2

We are in the process of moving from NX to CREO 2.0, so I'm sure I will have many questions. My question today concerns hole notes. I went through the help files and knowledge base, and I have the notes working for threaded holes. What I am wondering is if it is possible to get them to work...

Yeah, not looking forward to it. But I'm looking on the bright side, it is another thing to add to my resume [bigsmile] After doing some digging, I've discovered that our corporate overlords have it set in the config.sup file. They have our configuration set up so that the config.sup is...

We are in the process of switching from NX to Creo 2.0, and one of my tasks is to get the drawing formats set up. I have a cell in the titleblock table that contains &todays_date, and this works mostly as expected when I bring the format into a new drawing, except for the following: In the...

Thanks Toost for the tip! It worked very well :) Looking at the licenses available, this is what I have: C++ author C++ runtime ufunc development ufunc execute .net runtime Sadly, I do not see the .net author license listed. Guess that answers my question. Chris T. Project Design Analyst...

Hmmm, one IT guy siad that I do have the NX .net author license, and another one said I don't. At this point, I'm going to assume that I don't have it. Chris T. Project Design Analyst Kohler Co. Engine Division Using NX7.5

Using NX7.5, and Visual Basic 2010 Express. I would like to be able to compile my journals into dll's, but so far I am not having any luck. I am able to compile and build the dll just fine, but when I go to run the dll, I get the following error message: Failed to load image - see log file...

Thanks for the tip, that must have been my problem! When I create the metaform feature, the only thing that I see is a bunch of splines that are projected onto the target face. Is this correct, or should I be expecting a surface as the result? Chris T. Project Design Analyst Kohler Co. Engine...

That is exactly what I was looking for! I've noticed that as well...if the wrong inputs are selected, it basically sits there forever. I'll keep playing around with it to see if I can get something that works Chris T. Project Design Analyst Kohler Co. Engine Division Using NX7.5

Hmmm, Meta Form looks promising...the bad thing is my computer must know that today is Friday, because it seems like it decided to cut out of work early today[dazed] Looks like I will try to tackle this next week! Chris T. Project Design Analyst Kohler Co. Engine Division Using NX7.5

I'm currently trying to model up a perforated sheet, but my computer is struggling with it at the moment [sadt I haven't had the need to mess around with Global Shaping much, so I will have to take a look at it. I'd like to take a look at your model, but I'm on NX7.5 at the moment... Chris T...

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond, I got tied up with other things. Typically, we don't even bother to attempt to model the perforations. From a design standpoint, there really isn't any value in it. The reason this question is being asked is because of a couple of reasons that others...

In a nutshell, yes. Where the model is somewhat flat, it isn't much of an issue to just sketch a few of the perforations, extrude and subtract, and using patterns to finish it off. Where my co-worker is struggling is how to model the perforations on the vertical drawn sections without much...

I'm sure. Our current model was created by sketching that profile and revolving it. The attached image was just a cross section through the revolved part. Chris T. Project Design Analyst Kohler Co. Engine Division Using NX7.5

Someone asked me an interesting question which I did not have an answer for. So naturally, I figured I would ask you guys (and gals). We take a piece of perforated sheet metal (.149in holes on .1875in spacing), and draw it into a round shape. So the question is there an easy way to model this...

It is in the "ugii_env_ug.dat" file, which is located under C:\Program Files\UGS\NX 7.5\UGII (if that is your install directory) Note: Siemens recommends that instead of changing this file, add that line to the following file: "ugii_env.dat" ugii_env.dat would then have the following line in...

Found it. UGII_UPDATE_ALL_ID_SYMBOLS_WITH_PLIST controls this behavior Chris T. Project Design Analyst Kohler Co. Engine Division Using NX7.5

We recently upgraded from NX6 to NX7.5. Prior to the upgrade, instead of using the auto-ballon function from parts lists, I would place empty ballons and then hit update parts list; which filled in the numbers. Worked like a charm. I'm now trying to do the same thing in NX7.5, and I am not...
