Simon,
In your post above you mentioned that it's easy to make expressions arrangement specific. How would I go about doing that? While my final desired result may not be worth the effort and may be more easily achieved using two seperate assemblies having an expression driven by an arrangement...
Simon,
I have a parent assembly of a family of parts. The main variable that differs between the parts is the overall length of the assembly, which subsequently determines the number of components to use and their position. At the moment this is all driven by expressions, and while it works I...
John,
I am finding that the fastener size does not seem to update with the hole size, however the fastener is still associated with the hole position. "Delay after Edit" is turned off and I've tried to edit the fastener stack using the "Edit Reusable Component" option. The model is as simple as...
Thanks John,
I tried running the same scenario using square faces and I don't run into problems - I'll submit an ER.
Are the fastener lengths meant to update when the thickness of the stack changes? At the moment I am finding that the fasteners stay the same lengh regardless of how I change...
Hi All,
I seem to be having an issue when it comes to inserting fastener assemblies. I've included a picture to try and help explain things.
I effectively have a cylinder (dia 3000 mm), to which a drive sprocket is bolted. The problem I come across is that NX recognises three coaxial holes (two...
Thanks John,
I was unaware of the Machinery Library. I have now installed both ANSI Inch and Metric Reuse Libraries, however I am unable to drag any sections into my model. I have tried dragging onto a plane, into a regular sketch as well as into the sketch task environment. I have also tried...
Hi Guys,
We often create models using off the shelf steel sections (I-beams, channels etc). Is it possible to create user define sketch sections using a spreadsheet containing the dimensions - much like you can with Part Families?
Cheers,
