    Freeze wave link w/out wave license

    You could also try breaking the associative like between the waved part & the parent model. Double click the Linked Body in the Part Navigator. Expand the WAVE Geometry Linker by selecting the down arrow at the bottom. Expand the Settings box & uncheck the Associative tick box. "It is...

    Family Tables in NX12

    I'm glad it solved your problem. It will probably be easier to delete the existing table & reinsert it. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious."

    Family Tables in NX12

    Speaking under correction here but if I remember correctly, you can’t have a calculated value added as an expression. So if you have a formula in the formula field of your expression it won't be allowed into a part family as it could create a circular reference. Basically you will need to write...

    You will need Windows form designer to edit the table. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious."

    journal to move sketches on layer and rest curves on another layer

    The easiest way I found was to move the sketches first & then the curves. Basicaly it works like this: 1. Show all Layers. 2. Find & move all sketches to layer X. 3. Hide layer X. 4. Find & move all curves to layer Y. 5. Hide layer Y. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools...

    Sweep Along a Guide String and Maintain Cross Section Orientation

    Cowski is right (as usual). From personal experience, if you aren’t sweeping a round tube you need more than one guide curve. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious."

    Sweep Along Guide and Variational Sweep

    You must use the ADD NEWS SET button between selecting each set of curves. Read the bottom of your screen carefully as it will guide you quite well. I would also suggest that you use more than 1 guide curve to give you more predictable results. See the attached file... "It is impossible to...

    Delete Datum_CSYS

    Why don't you just change the reference set to solid or hid the layer that the datums are on? "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious."

    custom reorienting detail view normal to plate in DRAFTING???

    A method that I've used before is the following: 1. While in DRAFTING go to the MODEL (Ctrl+M). 2. Change your selection filter to FACE. 3. Orient the view with you mouse to close to the orientation you want & press F8 (The view will now be perpendicular to the selected face). 4. Now go...

    Thick lines for PDF export

    All you PDF line width settings are in you Customer Defaults. You'll find them in PDF Export under the Widths tab. Also remember to check in both the Site & User defaults. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious."

    NX 10 Drafting line width setting

    Unfortunately I can't help you with that problem. It actually goes one step further than that. If you add a component to an assembly the new component will inherit the new line thickness settings but not the old ones. What we've done as a workaround for the view issue is to go into the...

    Snap Increments for Move Face and Offset

    This may be a silly question but is snap to grid perhaps not switched on? "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious."

    I cant see the Bend up lines in a flat pattern drawing

    No problem, it happens to the best of us ;-) "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious."

    I cant see the Bend up lines in a flat pattern drawing

    Try changing the reference set of your part in the drawing to "entire part". That's worked for me before. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious."

    Swept cut option

    Hi Amit, I assume that this method worked for you? In the one I used a line (Insert> Curve> Line). In the second I used sketches. In both cases I used them as guide curves. "It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious."

    Swept cut option

    Here is the model I created:http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=a9525705-64d9-42cc-9cd0-eb72f8030d43&file=model1.prt

    Swept cut option

    Hi, What version of NX are you using? You need to draw the two profiles you want (in your case triangles), one on either end of the block. Then you need to join the corresponding points with curve lines. Then using the swept function select the one triangle (section) & the 3 guide curves you...

    Exploded views

    You use "Hide components in view" only in drafting, not in modelling. Then update the view & the unwanted components should be removed from the view.

    Method of associatively ballooning multiple models in a drawing?

    Let me just confirm: 1. You are creating a new assembly of the two sub-assemblies. 2. Then you are creating a drawing of this assembly. The reason I'm asking is that you can also add components to a drawing without creating a new assembly. If you use either method the BOM will add both...
