    NX Assembly Part Family

    Hello, I'm working in an assembly part family and I'm trying to select different components in the component window, but I'm not finding them in this window. I can see them in the Assembly Navigator, but they aren't in the Component window. How can I add them to this window? (There are...

    NX 12.0.2.9 drafting application display issues

    Hello, I'm working in a drawing and it looks OK onscreen, but there's some type of glitch that's showing in the PDF. Some of the views are shown as shaded in the NX drawing, but they aren't in the PDF. There's also some objects that show up in the PDF, but they aren't showing in the NX drawing...

    NX 12.0.2.9 - How can I improve the results of a step/iges file import into NX?

    Hello, Is there a way to improve the results of a step file import into NX? I can import a step file or iges file into NX and the file will be imported, but the part will be made up of hundreds or thousands of bodies. Is it possible to have it so that there's only one body? I initially just...

    NX 12 - Groove - Square Butt weld inquiry

    Hello, I'm using NX 12 and was asked to add a groove - square butt weld to this specific area shown in the screenshot. The two green hi-lighted areas are the faces I'm attempting to add the groove weld to. I keep getting the "Cannot prepare edges. Try selecting more tangent faces, or use the...

    NX features, new developments ?

    lgnx, Unfortunately, I don't really have good news for you. I assumed, at first, that the poor results at assembly constraints were a reflection of my ability since I was starting out with NX. I had my doubts, though, because I have 15+ years of experience with a different CAD software, so I...

    NX features, new developments ?

    Hi cowski, Thanks for the recommendation. I have typically turned them off from the beginning since they can cause clutter, but I do see your point about them alerting on screen if there's a problem. I'll have to check that out. Thanks

    NX features, new developments ?

    Hi Nutace and Toost. I'll try to answer your questions. I apologize if it comes across confusing. I have a cold and have been awake during the night. I am sober... but I have some sleep deprivation and am on cold meds. :o) NutAce, With the MP update, I don't know why tech support is...

    NX features, new developments ?

    I'm currently using the dreaded NX 12.0.1.7. Unfortunately, I've communicated to our tech support how bad it is; but I was told that we aren't updated to a new MP until sometime in Q2.

    NX features, new developments ?

    Hey Lars1978, you are the second person that I've recently seen that has recommended that NX look at their competition. [bigsmile] It would be a very good idea if they would figure some things out. I've used the assembly constraints in CREO effortlessly for years, so I was completely shocked...

    NX features, new developments ?

    Jerry1423, I've been using NX for 3 years and had the CATIA training for 2 weeks. Anyway, I have had a decent amount of exposure to NX and so had many people who were in the training room to get exposed to CATIA. I agree, there is a lot to learn with NX. I can try to do things many different...

    NX features, new developments ?

    At my current place of employment (been here for 3 years), I used CREO for a few months and have used NX for the rest of the time. Before that, I've used CREO (or ProE, Wildfire, etc) for 15+ years. The company that I'm working with now is quite large. Last year about 20 to 30 of us...

    NX 12 driving me crazy :(

    Thanks "Tingsryd" and "Toost" for that information. I do really appreciate that. It at least confirms my suspicions. I've been fighting NX 12 and trying to see if it was just me doing something wrong or if some settings needed to just be changed. I figure it's easier to change my actions...

    NX 12 driving me crazy :(

    That's good that you had that option not to update! Unfortunately, I didn't have that luxury. We didn't have a choice about updating. I've seen someone else say to never update unless you have to. I think I told a co-worker before the update "At least it can't get much worse". :o) (I was...

    NX 12 driving me crazy :(

    Hello, For you all that have reported about how bad NX 12 is, has there been any resolution or anything that can make NX 12 any better? I'm currently using NX 12.0.1.7 and I completely agree with you. It seems like it's infested with bugs. I spend most of my time dealing with the clunkiness...

    NX 10 Boundary line for detail view

    Thanks everyone for giving input with this problem. I've decided just to cut my losses. Even after checking all of these suggestions, the drawing was still flaking out. It was easier just to delete the junk views and re-create them. After dealing with other CAD software and not having to...

    NX 10 Boundary line for detail view

    Yes, it is a circular detail view. Earlier, I had a different layer set as my work layer. I had confirmed, though, that all layers were displayed - even when the boundary was not showing up. Recently, I changed the work layer to layer 1. I then created another circular detail view and now the...

    NX 10 Boundary line for detail view

    Hello Bwsh, I double-checked the value for Display and it's already set to Label, but the circular boundary isn't showing. I'm not sure what the problem is. Can drawings just be corrupted sometimes and just have unexplained results? I'm used to using different CAD softwares, so not used to...

    NX 10 Boundary line for detail view

    Hello, I inherited a drawing that I'm now attempting to modify. I have two views that are side by side and I have two detail views off of those original views. One of those detail views shows a dashed line for a boundary, but the other detail view does not have the boundary line displayed...

    Electrical routing: ugroute_elec.xml location

    Hello, Just an update. Our helpdesk got back to me and had me add an address for a mapped network drive into the "Manual Entries" area of the UG Application Selector. That fixed the problem. Thanks for the info.

    Electrical routing: ugroute_elec.xml location

    Very good info. Thanks! I modified the ugii_env.dat on my local drive, but when I select Application -> Electrical, I still get a Routing warning saying it can't load application view and then it references a syslog file and a location on a network drive. Is there a way to force NX to look at...
