    Where in 14.5 is...?

    Thanks for adding the image (didn't know how to do that) The 2.89" on the left (green box). He thinks it should also be on the right (green arrows). Looking for documentation in 14.5 that says it's okay as-is. Ironically, he didn't like the "2X .3" either saying it's "unclear" and I should put...

    Where in 14.5 is...?

    Where in 14.5 does it state that we don't need to show the length in both the left and right views; that we assume it's the same unless otherwise noted? In the attached image, I've shown both sides because one side needs to be masked and the other does not. Just like we assume two edges are...

    Reuse Pattern

    My employer uses the Master Model system where all original geometry is contained in one CatPart, Published and then Copy-Paste-Special into their respective parts. At higher level assemblies we add our Fasteners which are all contained within their own CatProduct. I'd like to utilize the Reuse...

    Delete a Component From a Part Family

    Tomas, That was the funny thing, it was deleted in TC. I did a TC search and that configuration could not be found. So the hang up was with within NX. Knowing that, I had to get into the 'mind' of NX and realized that there had to be more buttons to click to get a simple task completed. So I...

    Delete a Component From a Part Family

    By using the "Update Parts" command in the Excel sheet the deletion was retained!!!

    Delete a Component From a Part Family

    Michaël, Yes I did. That's what so perplexing. It seems like it should be a fairly simple operation. I selected the row in Excel and used a right-click delete. After that I saved the Excel file and then exited the spreadsheet. Lastly I saved the part in NX. When I re-open the Part Family the...

    Delete a Component From a Part Family

    Well, that was my first thought... and the part still returns to the spreadsheet. On a positive note, the part has been successfully deleted from TC. Any idea why the spreadsheet retains the component?

    Delete a Component From a Part Family

    John, It's been created already. It's in the spreadsheet, it's in TeamCenter... It needs to be gone before someone tries to use it. Thanks, Matthew

    Delete a Component From a Part Family

    I've got one part in my NX 8.5 Part Family that I'd like to delete. How do I do this? I could delete it from TeamCenter 9 but not the spreadsheet of my part family. Thanks, Matthew

    Model Sketches in NX 8.5

    Thanks for the help, friends! Acclimating to a new CAD program is not without it's growing pains! Matthew

    Model Sketches in NX 8.5

    Now I'm unable to dimension the newly visible sketch.... I can't even select it in the view.

    Cowski, You got it!! That's what I missed.

    Model Sketches in NX 8.5

    So, I put the sketch on a different layer and then made that layer visible in the view. Nothing appeared... I made every layer visible and the only thing in the view was the model. Something in the settings perhaps? Yes, we need the sketch in the 3D model so that we can provide it to our vendor...

    Model Sketches in NX 8.5

    @SDETERS, Good advice. Thanks! Is is possble to use one Reference Set in one Drawing View and a different Reference Set in another Drawing View? I am unable to figure out how to do that at this time. @nutace, Are you suggesting re-creating the model sketch entities in a drawing view sketch...

    Model Sketches in NX 8.5

    I have a sketch that I've drawn on one of the surfaces of my 3D model. (The sketch represents a boundary that the vendor needs to pay attention to.) Now I'm making my drawing and want to know if it's possible to make this sketch visible in my drawing view so that I don't have to recreat the...

    NX 8.5 and Part Families

    I created a Part Family in NX8.5 and Teamcenter 9. (It was an NAS1805 nut with less than 20 parts.) The first file I created, I added my initials to the filename in case anything went awry. All of the components were created successfully and checked in to TC. When I was happy with the results...

    Delta Note in NX8.5

    How do you "position it correctly," so that it attaches? When I drag the delta note close to the other text it does try to snap in place but when I move the text string the delta lags behind and both entites end up in different places. If I multi-select the note and the delta they travel...

    That works. Thanks!

    Delta Note in NX8.5

    Greetings! Our company switched to NX8.5 from SolidWorks about 6 months ago. I joined the team two months ago and haven't had much formal training in NX8.5... Thus far, most of the work has been in modeling and assemblies and now it's time for some drafting. I'm starting a new drawing and want...

    NX 8.5, Space Pilot Pro and the Print Screen Key

    I'm trying to set one of my Space Pilot Pro keys to utilize the "Print Screen" button. Since the function does not exist in the list provided (that I can find) I tried to create a custom function. When I select "New" under Custom Functions in the Space Pilot menu and select the "Print Sreen" key...
