    Hi all. I know there's been a lot of discussion going on about the conversion of facet to surface, I was just hoping that someone has come up with a novel solution recently. Hence, the question: Is there a way we can directly convert a faceted sheet to a surface in NX 8.5? P.S: I have used Fit...

    Profile of a surface

    Hi all... I'm a GD&T newbie & here I have a simple yet silly question... Suppose I have a block & let's say one of its sides says that it has a Profile of Surface tolerance as "1 mm" In another case, having the datums conventionally defined (in both cases), it says it has a Profile of Surface...

    Automating assembly of bolts and nuts

    Hi all.. I have a huge chunk of bolts, washers and nuts to assemble on a very large component. It is a total pain to constrain all these (taking up as much as 2 minutes for each assembly). Can we automate this? My requirements are: 1. Select the bolt centre line and select the hole (in the...

    Why wave geometry is created?

    General Question:- Apart from the fact that operation (hole,extrude, etc) can be done only on solid wave body and not on the actual solid component (the parent of the wave body); is there any other reason why wave geometry is being used?

    How to reverse the UDF explosion in NX?

    I "exploded" a UDF accidentally and saved it. So, ctrl+z wouldn't help me revert the exploding of UDF. Is there any other option in NX that would revert the process?
