Hi all, I am a novice with regards to the proper application of GD & T. I have attached a drawing of a simple part I have added it to- where previouly it was dimensioned without it. Can you give me some feedback with regards to the application of the symbols I have used. I am working to ASME...

Hi All, I have a load test machine where I set a regulator to a certain air pressure which translates to a specific force on a pneumatic cylinder. For example, 10psi on the regulator would equal 100lbf on the cylinder So, if I want to carry out a load test on a component I set the regulator to...

Hi All, Using NX9 and I am trying to add a 0.19" fillet to an edge. Simple enough However I want the fillet to run out at a certain point, I can make it stop dead but that leaves a square edge. I want to show it running out to imply cutter run out, if that makes sense. Something like the...

Hi all and hopefully this is the correct forum. I need to design a test fixture whereby I will spin a 1/2" diameter x 10" long shaft at 2RPM While the shaft is spinning I need to apply a force to the side of the shaft to achieve an angle between 3 & 3.5 degrees. This is straightforward enough...

I am trying to create a set of metric drawing templates in NX9. I have taken our existing inch ones, went to edit sheet and changed the units. I have renamed them and they open correctly,so to test them I have created a metric model. When I try to create a new drawing I get the message...

Anyone know how to set the minimum bend radius in the mechanical routing application, in NX7.5 this could be defined, in NX9 I cannot see it. Thanks in Advance,

Hi , I'm wanting to show drilled holes in two components that are screwed together and then dowelled into position on assembly. (the items are screwed together and then both items are drilled and dowelled) I know how to use the assembly cut function but this leaves me with a flat bottom, I want...

thread561-378573 I am trying to add a secondary datum to a feature control frame however I currently don't have this option. I have my role set as advance yet I still have nothing. Any ideas?

Really stupid question here, but I can't find how to do basic dimensions in NX9. The option was right in front of me in NX7.5, now it seems to be replaced with inspection dimension but this is not the same thing. Thanks in advance.

Using NX9, when I create a new drawing it defaults to the prefix _dwg, is there a setting by which I can change what this defaults as? Thanks

So Im setting up my parts list template in NX using attributes. I just want a simple parts list with ref no, material & qty. I have sorted this out easily enough although the problem I am having is that if I have more than one part made of the same material it groups the materials together and...

Hi I have updated from NX7.5 to NX 9 and am using the opportunity to update our drawing borders. I have defined a title block etc but when I add a second sheet it gives a prompt to populate the title block again. How can I make it inherit the settings from sheet 1 Thanks

Hi all, In drafting, does anyone know if it is possible to dimension in Imperial but automatically add metric dimensions also in parenthesis (brackets) or does it have to be added manually? Thanks in advance...

Hi all, I have created a model and have used the mechanical routing application to create the appropriate pipe work. Trouble is, when I go to the drafting application I am getting loads of dashed lines and arrows which I suppose are depicting the flow of the pipe work. I dont want these in my...

I have a tube with a pre drilled hole in it and a collar slid over that. I am then fitting a 1.125" outside diameter tube into this as per the illustration. The tube obviously shrinks during welding which means we need to ream it out afterwards as another tube slides inside it. What is best...

Hi All, I'm looking at various design enginner/ draughtsman jobs and what I notice a few companies doing is creating models and assemblies in solidworks and then doing the drawings in autocad. Is anyone familiar with this and why would it be done- I can see no benefit in this what so...

Hi All, I am looking at a material cert to find the 0.2% proof stress of the material. Trouble is, the field is empty but the cert gives a value for Yield stress. Are these one in the same thing? If not could someone explain them to me as I am rather confused by it. Thanks in Advance,

Hi, I am using NX7.5 I have imported a step file from our customer and am creating a drawing to verify the model is correct. When I first imported the model into a new drawing all the views were blank, so I have went to format layer and made them visible in view. I now have the drawing views...

When I am designing jigs and fixtures I like to show the item they are being used on sitting inside the fixture in an iso view. In drafting Is there anyway that I can show the item as dashed lines while the fixture is solid lines. In other words, an isometric assembly view with one part dashed...

Hello, I am using NX 7.5 and have probably a strange query. When creating an assembly drawing is it possible for the various parts in the assemblies to bring their respective colours into the drawings. At the moment I have loads of black lines on a white background, but if I model a part red for...
