Alderfeck - I'll have to check out the fabric flat patterning in the composites tool. Not sure I have access to it at the moment though - I didn't find anything like that in NX6. I wonder if it does something different than the sheet metal tool specific to composite parts?
wiengines - That's...
Using NX6.0 with 'NX Sheet Metal' available but not 'Forming/Flattening' I've not been able to figure out an easy way to create a flat pattern for the attached file. None of the 'NX Sheet Metal' tools allow me to select this unparameterized body generated from a .step. I also tried the...
I need to start doing this as well as generating an auto parts list from my file attributes in V5R19. Perhaps two people looking for the same thing would encourage a response? Thanks in advance.
weavedreamer - Thanks for the help. That was enough to get me there. I was not able to use the 'Link Modification' dialog to change the Pointed elements. Only the 'Remove' button was available and after removing the scene that was the Pointed element I didn't figure out how to use this dialog...
Using V5R19,
I've been using scenes in modeling as a quick way to hide a large number of parts to create a specific drawing view from the Scene. When I was still figuring out how to use Scenes I created several that were fully overloaded at their creation. This prevents an update to a lower...
Hi,
Our released document folder contains a separate folder for each drawing (about 60 folders). The folder titles of each drawing have the current dwg rev level in the folder title.
IE:
Rlsd_Drawings-00001_RevA
Rlsd_Drawings-00002_RevB
Rlsd_Drawings-00003_RevD
I know we could add each of...
I'm familar with those options. Each component must be seen in some drawing p/l - IE details show up in the assy and assy's show up in the instl, instls show up in either a collecor of instls or ultimately the top level so I'm not sure adding an attribute to each file is the right way to go -...
Sure, occasionally I'll cut & paste a row or two. If you edit a single cell in a row, it moves that row to the end of the p/l if you haven't 'locked' the row. So anytime I've changed a cell after sorting I'll cut/paste to get it back to the right spot if I hadn't locked it. I'm not sure why...
While using file attributes to create a parts list I'm having trouble selecting/deselecting components. On the 'Edit Levels' dialog I have typically had none of the 3 toggles turned on. I should be able to select any component regardless of the level in the assembly to turn it on and then ctrl...
Ok, thanks for the replies. I tried using assembly constraints, but I wasn't terribly successful. I went back to the Assembly Sequencing tool and it looks like this might be more useful than I initially understood.
I haven't figured out how to have multiple components translate along...
Hi,
I'm working on a bulkhead with a pocket door and I thought I might try and constrain my assembly to see that the movement of the door slide and pop up header actually works as intended. I did run a quick search but the only related item I found was assembly sequencing. This doesn't appear...
John,
That does the trick. Thanks very much, it's quite a few parts that need to be fixed. I'm pretty sure this will be quicker than recreating all of the views. Reassociating the dims in NX6 is much better than what we had in NX3 so that won't be too much trouble.
I had been using...
Thanks Jerry,
That works sometimes if the orientation of the part wasn't changed, but it's more likely that the part has been rotated on a couple of axis. I haven't been able to change the orientation of the part in the drawing view after moving the model.prt.
Our drawing standards would make moving the file back to abs 0 against the rules. So I guess the question remains, is it possible to update the view orientation from the drawing view?
Thanks for the help - my resources are limited.
Yes, all of the parts in the installation are in their own file. The drawing is created in a separate file with all of the parts as components in that part.
Hi,
So I had a bunch of parts that were created at 0,0,0 and put on a drawing. They were subsequently moved to their correct aircraft coordinate which causes them to appear incorrectly on the drawing sheet. I'm sure this is something everyone is familiar with. I'm new to UG and was wondering...
IRstuff - When I contacted the supplier I was told, "Perhaps it's a typo, in 20 yrs of doing business I have no idea what that is." So to answer your question, there's no good reason not to ask the supplier, that was the first person I asked - well, the first person after Google.
GBor - I've...
I'm wondering if anyone can explain what 4130H would represent. I initially figured some heat treated condition, but found the Rockwell B-Scale hardness to be 98 of the material we received. Our supplier sent us 4130H tube (1-5/16 OD x .120 WT) in lieu of 4130 normalized that we ordered. The...
