OK, here's something I haven't seen before. I hope someone can tell me why this is happening so I can fix it.
I have a deformable part that is used in 4 places in the same assembly. The parts were made deformed in the assembly after they were all added and constrained. I also tried making the...
I have a small sub-assembly with only 8 parts. The parts have no holes at the part level. This sub-assembly (assy-1) will be used in the next, upper, sub-assembly (assy-2) where each part will have 1 to 2 holes applied. That sub-assembly (assy-2) will be used in the next upper assembly (assy-3)...
Is there any way to make the arc length dimension in NX look like the arc length dimension in I-Deas? I've included a screen shot comparing the two. I know that, if the dimension is interior to the arc it will look like I-Deas but I want it to be exterior to the arc, as shown in the...
We have I-Deas users that are moving to NX. Their biggest grip is that there is no easy way to identify the part/assembly that needs updating. We know about the clock but that doesn't identify everything that needs to be updated and it doesn't show what changed, is there a new revision and if so...
In an upper assembly, we use some lengths of chain or cable. These show up in the BOM as a qty of 1. This is correct as there is only 1 of that item. The QTY column is defined as $~Q. What I'm looking at is that if we use 5 ft of a purchased total qty of 20 ft of chain, is there any way to have...
Does anybody know how to get schematic NPT threads to show in an iso view? So far the only NPT threads I can get to show in an iso is simplified. we would like to have them detailed but we've found that if the pipe is in any position other than straight horizontal or vertical, in any view, the...
simple question here, when upgrading NX (like going from 7.5 to 8) there are some files that get copied from NX into Tc. The question is what files, where are they in NX and where do they get copied to in Tc? I just want to be sure that I don't miss anything in the upgrade.
We auto generate the bend information annotation on the flat pattern. On some drawings, the flat patterns that is generated won't let us re-position the leader. as shown in the pictures, it is pointing to the center of the bend line right at the center line. we want to move the annotation along...
We use the master model concept for all our models and drawings. But, we have a lot of 2D I-deas drawings that we are going to use and need to bring into NX. we are looking at using the CMM on on these drawings after they are migrated into Teamcenter. The issue is that when an I-deas drawing is...
I'm trying to constrain a part to a slot so the part can move between the centers of the slot along the center of the slot. Like a steam engine, I want an arm to be able to move from center to center of the slot but no further while staying on the center of the slot.
I've included a picture to...
We're moving from the e2D world (where we've been for 20+ years) to the world of 3D & NX/Teamcenter. we've been converting our 2D drawings to parts, assemblies etc and now we've reached the items we have been avoiding. So, I was hopping that some smart people out there would have some ideas on...
We've moved to Tc 8.3 and we're using NX 7.5. I set up the machinery library as a site function in native mode so I could install it once and everyone would have access to the same items. My question is how to do the same thing in Teamcenter. How can I install the machinery library as a site...
We're using NX 7.5.4 and Tc 8.3.2. We have several vendor parts that have been used in different assemblies and so have been entered into teamcenter. The vendor has made modifications to the items and I want to "swap" the new part with the old parts so the new part is the one in the item ID, not...
Is there anyway to add the ID call outs of items in the BOM, associatively, to notes in that are in the drawing? what I want to do is have notes like ITEM 3 IS TO BE PLACED.... and have the number 3 associated to the part with that ID. That way if the parts list changes the notes are updated...
We are using Teamcenter 8.3 and NX 7.5.4.4 and we are using the mastermodel approach.
I have all the templates created and imported into Tc. I now find that I have to add some more attributes to the drawing templates. Since we already have the templates how can I add the object attribute from...
