    Mass not displaying in BOM correctly, [...]

    John, I tried to spread out the cell a little farther and that does not work either. The values that are coming in are 444# and 107# and the one that is missing is 5#. I can get the 5# to show up briefly by relinking it to the body measurement, but when I update the parts list then it goes back...

    jerry1423, I verified the settings with the cells that work and they are both the same.

    Mass not displaying in BOM correctly, [...]

    Hello all, I am having an issue with a BOM in an assembly. I have 3 parts in the assembly and they are all displayed in the BOM correctly ecspt the mass only displays in 2 of the parts. The other part will display the weight until I update the part list and then it changes to [...]. Any...

    Embed a drawing with another drawing

    Updraft, I do not agree with your comment that the assembly drawings and part drawings should be separate. I work with many clients that still use this practice efficiently and they all have pdm systems in place. I may have been off base with the embedded part drawing in the assembly drawing...

    Embed a drawing with another drawing

    I do use the multiple page drawings which is what I am doing in this situation. The first page is my assembly, the second page contains my part information with the blocks.

    Embed a drawing with another drawing

    Maybe not the best use of verbage when I said clutter. I just meant that it seems simple to create a drawing as one would normally do for a part, but then have the option to use that drawing as is or add it to an upper level assembly drawing. As a work around I have created a block with the...

    Embed a drawing with another drawing

    ctopher, The reason I would want to do this is to create a drawing that is fully parametric and will tie directly to the piece part drawing and part. My client does not use a BOM in the assembly drawing. The bom is generated from an SAP system. This drawing that I have shown was created in PTC...

    Embed a drawing with another drawing

    Thanks Scott. I was just working with the hyperlinking, but I do not think that will work either since our client is using a pdm system. I will just create an assembly drawing and import the parts without the use of a separate drawing. I could see where this might be a nice option for companies...

    Embed a drawing with another drawing

    What I want to do is create a part and then create a drawing of that part. Then I want to create an assembly that contains the part. Next I want to create the assembly drawing to show the information needed to create the assembly and finally I want to embed my part drawing into the assembly...

    Embed a drawing with another drawing

    Hi all, I have an opportunity and wanted to throw this out to see if it was possible. My client creates assembly drawings as a multiple page drawing with the last pages containing the piece part prints of all of the parts in the assembly. I have no problem creating a drawing like this, but they...

    NX 8.5 Drafting issue - Cannot insert drawing views

    Thanks for the information Tomas. This did work for the part that I uploaded, but I have 2 other parts with the same issue and this did not work for them. I will keep trying after I reboot my computer.

    NX 8.5 Drafting issue - Cannot insert drawing views

    Toost, I tried that yesterday and it was not the issue. I have uploaded the model for all to see and hopefully we can get something figured out. It is frustrating when things like this happen in a software that I am not totally familiar with. Thanks to everyone who has tried to help...

    NX 8.5 Drafting issue - Cannot insert drawing views

    That checked out good. I did notice that my representation was Exact (Pre-NX 8.5) so I changed it to Exact and tried it again with the same results.

    NX 8.5 Drafting issue - Cannot insert drawing views

    John, I just checked and the layer scheme is consistent between the model and the drawing.

    NX 8.5 Drafting issue - Cannot insert drawing views

    Yes, I am using the master model method. I then select a base view and I have tried different model views. I started by opening my piece part - then switching to Drafting - then I click on "base view" - Placement Method is inferred - Model view is top - scale is 1:8. I then move to the drawing...

    NX 8.5 Drafting issue - Cannot insert drawing views

    Cowski, I did what you said and it still did not show up. I did add an additional sheet and import my flat pattern and that shows up, but it seems the sheet metal part will not show up. Please let me know if there is anything else that I can try. Thanks!

    NX 8.5 Drafting issue - Cannot insert drawing views

    Hi all, I am not a power user in NX and I am having an issue that I cannot fix. I am using version 8.5 and the problem I am having is creating a Draft from a part that I designed. I selected the Drafting tab to begin creating my drawing and right away I knew something was wrong because on every...

    Template Replacement

    Thanks everyone. I ended up importing the existing part into the new part template that had the client drawing template, properties and any other information. Once it did this a few times it was easy to do, but still kind of a pain in the rump. Had I received the proper start part in the...

    Template Replacement

    I have tried this but it does not seem to be working. I source the new "pattern" by selecting the .prt file that I am trying to use, but it does not work. Any other suggestions?

    Template Replacement

    Hello Everyone, I am in a little bit of a bind and would appreciate some assistance. I created multiple parts in NX 8.0 with just a standard part template since that was my only option at the time. My client now wants me to use their drawing borders in my drawings, but I do not know how/if I...
