    Wrap decal around a cylindrical surface

    Hi Ritchie, Have you tried making a New Visualization Material. On the main menu for the new Material use the Single Image in Image Mode. Under the Pattern tab use the Simple Decal and select your image here. Under the Texture Space tab use the Type Cylindrical and specify the axis direction (...

    Part Name as Atrribute

    This is the string I ended using in the expression: ug_setPartAttrValue("NAME",subString(ug_askCurrentWorkPart(),1,8)) This returns an Attribute called "Name" with the first 8 characters of the part name. As my file names are all 8 characters long this works well. After I do a Save As I have...

    Part Name as Atrribute

    Hi, I am using native NX8.5 and want to know is there a way to call the name of a part file into an attribute in that same part? So if I have an attribute called "name" for instance and the part is called "123.prt" I want the attribute "name" to equal "123". The idea is that if I do a Save As on...

    Keep Feature at Bottom of Part Navigator

    I find it works exactly as John described. Every time I add a feature to the original solid the Exracted Bady drops to the Bottom of the Part Nav. I have already linked some things to the associative Mass and Volume of the Extracted Body to add to my drawings. All working really well and saves...

    Keep Feature at Bottom of Part Navigator

    Hi John, Thanks for your reply that will give me what I need. I did not think to use Extract Body and I do not mind having to filter it out of the model reference set. Best Regards, Jackie.

    Keep Feature at Bottom of Part Navigator

    Hi All, Does anyone know if there is a way to keep a feature like Body Measurement as the last feature in the Part Navigator tree in NX8.5? What I am wanting to do is use the Analysis --> Measure Bodies to create an associative body measurement that appears in the Part Navigator. If I then put...

    Shaded View Rant

    I am a long time user of NX and today just want to air my opimion about shaded views in Drafting. I do not understand why they need to look so bland and unimpressive. There are other cheaper CAD packages on the market that do this so much better and I think there should be more options for...

    NX 7.5 Leader Re-Associating

    Hi tomcatcool17, No problem glad to help. The origin of the object was more than likely linked to something near it when you were placing it on the drawing sheet. The ones you say are OK would not have a position link to anything else so they update without having to do anything to the...

    NX 7.5 Leader Re-Associating

    Hi Tomcatcool17, It is possible the origin of the object was linked to something that does not exist anymore or has also become unassociative. After you re-associate the object try double clicking on it and from the menu select the Origin Tool icon next to Secify Location. Select OK then close...

    Arrangement linked to an expression

    Hi All, Does anyone know of a way to link an arrangement to an expression in NX7.5? For instance I might have an expression that I want the value to change to either 1 or 0 based on what arrangement is active. Any other suggestions on how to do this would be appreciated. Regards, Legs11.
