    Subscription Licenses

    Hi Ben, As far as I know this was an option presented to me for both NX and Teamcenter at least a year ago. If your going to own for more than 4 years it is best to buy if I remember my calculations. ToolingGuy NX11.0.1 MP2

    What is the License Bundle Getting me?

    I believe Mach bundles have been out for well over 10 years. What maybe needed is for Siemens to come up with a way of easily moving all of us to newer bundles. Maybe using subscription licensing!

    How many more releases until this is turned on?

    It is unreasonable to have any CAD vendor interoperate with another unless the CAD vendor owns both softwares (NX and Solid Edge, Dassault and SolidWorks). I think Synchronous technology in NX has expanded to the point where it is a huge value for translated data (we use it with our suppliers...

    What is the License Bundle Getting me?

    You need a Mach 3 bundle. You will receive all translator options (STEP,IGES.DXF/DWG and Flattening), create STL, Shape Studio surfacing (you have all the traditional free-form surface functionality) and PMI you said you wanted. Get the Indsutrial bundle as you'll also get Realize Shape (a...

    NX CAM (8.5, 9.0) Surface Area for template

    Can NX CAM templates understand face color or tag to quazi automate CAM programming? Can other information from CAD model be passed to NX CAM? I am guessing yes as this is typical with an integrated system. We can't bring NX in to do CAM unless there are obvious benefits to save programming...

    does nx 8.5 support 3d pdf?

    We used to use AutoVue and VisView depending on usage. We have moved to more use of VisView and free JT viewers as they are cost effective and work with all CAD formats we care about. We tried other viewers and found no additional benefit and cost for usage was zero benefit. Many of our...

    NX Mirror Assembly "Reuse and Reposition" Components on slight angle

    Look at what you have inside the reference set called "MODEL". This is what the Mirroe Assembly is looking at. My bet is their is some extra geometry that is throwing off the calculation. You can explicitly use the Symmetry Override and a named datum plane called "Symmetry Override" to force...

    Why are so many companies so scared or unwilling to upgrade NX to the newest version?

    Some releases of software have more functionality than others but to still be using anything but NX 7.5 or NX 8.5 today because they have bugs or cannot perform at the same level as NX 5 is someone who isn't keeping up to using the hundreds of the thousands of user enhancements made over the...

    Is GM going to new versions of NX and Teamcenter in March/April?

    Thanks Jim, I heard this from a second source as well. Looks like the push we need to move away from our production NX 7.5. ToolingGuy NX 7.5.5 / NX 8.5.1 (testing)

    Is GM going to new versions of NX and Teamcenter in March/April?

    I am hearing from one of our Tier 1's that GM is moving to NX 8 (or maybe 8.5) and a new version of Teamcenter as early as the end of March. Is this true? ToolingGuy NX 7.5.5 / NX 8.5.1 (testing)

    Mold Wizard question

    You have a lot of work to do. How long have you been using NX? Why are you creating everything in a single part file with layers (that is a 20 year old process)? You need to understand how to use assemblies in NX and then build a master clonable mold base and dozens of parametric...

    Is Chrysler switching to UGNX?

    Heard this decision was made a while ago but only a PDM decision to go Teamcenter. Maybe Chrysler finally had enough of the Catia V4 to V5 to V6 data migration problems?
