    Premature Exit of week long running code

    I have written a code to pull data from an excel spread sheet which is being continuously updated by a program called WinDaq. The data is load cell data and the intent is to let this run for a week and pull data every twenty minutes. For some reason after 13 hours the code just stopped. The...

    Inventor 2018 Creating Templates

    I am working at creating templates. One thing I would like to add is the parts list to the actual template. Thus ensuring it is always in the correct location. However Inventor's tendency to associate the parts list to a specific view, which is allowed due to the flexibility of inventor's...

    Scan Misalign

    Hey, I'm relatively new to this program, though I have completed the two day training coarse. This issue did not arise during said training. I am scanning a relatively simple piston. I have the piston on the support arm raised level with the scanner to allow for definition inside the...

    Exploded Views in NX 9

    In NX 7.5, this was a little convoluted, but it worked. I would create the explosion, adding the guide lines, in the model side of the drawing file. But to get it to show up on the drawing I would go to View -> operation -> save as, and save the view of the explosion, then I could select this...

    Drawing vs 3D CAD Model

    I have a model that will have to be cast, but it has some very complex shapes. Using Unigraphics, I am unable to get a radius into a region I KNOW they are going to need it, the program just will not put the radius into it. So here's my question. The Model will be sent to the customer along...

    Template Drafting Preferences

    Version NX9 Using Master Model Windows 8.1 This is an interesting issue. IN NX 7.5 I could create a template and set the drafting preferences, such as font and size and when that template is opened those preferences were maintained. In NX9 this is mostly true, most of the set preferences are...

    PDF Creation Options in NX9

    Some how on my current computer ( I recently switched) I do not have all the pdf options available, including adding watermark. I have found these options in the customer defaults -> gateway, however, current practice has us using a watermark for Work In Progress pdfs, and removing that for...

    JS tolerance questions

    The company I work for recently asked us to use machining tolerances for the hole and shafts that we have been working on. I am unfamiliar with these, and though I have found several charts on line, I would like one clarification. Capital JS vs lowercase js. I believe that the capitalized...

    Changing line weight of text in dimensions NX 9.1

    I have searched the forums for this particular question and having not found anything I can only assume the answer is simple, blatant, and right in front of my nose. I am working on a drawing created in NX 7.5. In which the text on the dimension was set to the medium weight. It was simple...

    CR Usage question

    We are designing a part for a client. This is a cylindrical body with a threaded counter bored hole. Originally I had the outside edge of the part designed with a chamfer (the client had this on their preliminary drawings). Now they wish for some freedom to make this corner either a chamfer...

    NX 9.0.1.3, Broken View issues

    I have tried to search the forum to see if this is happening to anyone else but haven't found anything. Basically when I update a broken view, I have dimensions being hidden. I am not sure whey this is happening, and am not sure how to edit/prevent it. I'm attaching an image to try and...

    Expiring spline tool

    Has anyone found the new way (in NX 9.0) to create a spline by importing points? I used to use (and currently can until it is expired) the command called spline from Insert-> Curve -> Spline... I would then select "Through Points" and select "Points from File". I have been unable to find a...

    Best Practice Drawing Date

    I have worked at locations that have done this both ways and I was wondering what was considered the best practice. For a drawing, the date drawn: Should this date be the last data modified, so if you run through tree Work In Progress revisions, should the date be representative of the last...

    NXOpen.Net html file not working

    To begin I believe this is a problem on the machine rather than with the file. I have tried to use both the 7.5 version and the 9 version and they are both doing the same thing. Which is, that though I can search topics the main window never shows any data, even the borders appear to be...

    Switch to NX 9.0 slows down custom codes

    I have a program that I wrote in NX 7.5, where it works very quickly. This is designed to run in an assembly. In a nut shell the program does the following: User selects face to be checked User selects face being checked against user selects center line (usually a spline curving in one...

    Grip Compiling

    I have been searching the threads for this and so far no luck. Basically we have a grip program that was provided for us, and I only want to modify it to produce more decimal places. You select a line and number of points and it spits the points into a .dat file. This is easy enough to...

    UG License List link

    I was reading a previous post, in which John Baker provided a link to the siemens website that listed the different elements in a license bundle and gave a quick description. I have tried searching the siemens website, and I have tried to find that thread here but have had no luck. John would...

    Coding Journal UF type commands

    I have been attempting to use the UF_DISP_set_display command to turn off the display while journals run, but I cannot get it to work. I have tried calling SetDisplay(UF_DISP_SUPPRESS_DISPLAY) I get: Name 'UF_DISP_SUPPRESS_DISPLAY' is not declared I have tried Dim...

    Reference Set Adding Component Issue

    I am having a new problem. No matter what assembly I open, I cannot modify the reference sets. The window comes up, I can check the "Add components automatically" check box which works to add all the components to the reference set, but I cannot click a component and add it or shift click a...

    UG slow down, sketcher?

    I am having a hell of a time right now with UG pulling exceedingly slow. I have checked it on two different computers, checked the memory, hard drive space, CPU usage all are within good ranges. The files have been moved to my local so net work shouldn't be a problem. Both computers while...
