    Detailed thread now showing well on drawing

    Hi all, I've made an piece of threaded rod with trapezoid/acme thread. But when I create an drawing of it, it is only showing an part of the thread. Yesterday in my first attempt it was showing only the two chamfers at the ends and nothing els. So it looks like an graphical problem. The thread...

    Exclude part/mesh from solver

    Hi All, Is there a way to temporary exclude/ignore an part/mesh from a 3D solve? When a 2D mesh is used you can un-check the box "export mesh to solver" and then that part is not used in the solve. But is there such an easy way to ignore an 3D mesh in an solve? Thanks in advance.

    Interpart Expression - Cannot find part

    Hello All, I have a problem with an assembly and interpart expressions. When I open this assembly I get this message: Part VNB50320 is removed from this assembly and will not come back. After some searching I found the "Interpart Link Browser". I can see the two links there, but I can't...

    Component Groups with attributes not working.

    Hi all, I'm trying to work with Components Groups and Attributes. In an big assembly I want to hide all bolts, nuts, rings etc. All those kind of part have an attribute with the name "type" and value "Agripart". So I tried to create a component group by attribute with the filter "type =...

    Message: Child position Not Updated (Mating Conditions Present)

    thread561-392091 I got the warning "Child position Not Updated (Mating Conditions Present)" again, now on another sub-assembly. Sadly the last time this warning wasn't solved, so I still have no idea how to solve his. Has anyone a idea? Best regards, Tjeerd Using NX 8.0 and Teamcenter 8 on...

    Move with copy: Double parts.

    Hi All, I have a problem with the command "Move" with the copy option. When i copy parts with the "Move" commando very often parts are placed double. The two parts are placed exactly on the same place, so it is not visible until i move a part. Or I have to check the numbers in the "Assembly...

    Reuse library placement.

    Hi All, First when I used the Reuse Library it asks for "Select Origin", but since a while the placement is using "By Constraints". When I pull a part into the assembly it shows shortly the same screen as "Add Component" where I can select "Select Origin", but this screen is showing to short to...

    Identification symbol with part-number/name

    Hi All, Is there a way to make "Identification Symbols" with the part-number/name in it instead of the POS-number? And I want them to be associative. So if I link the symbol to a part automatically the part-number/name is filled in. Thanks in advance, Tjeerd Using NX 8.0 and Teamcenter 8 on...

    Visual reporting. Revision status

    Hi All, Is it possible with "Visual Report" in the HD3D Tools to make the revision status visible? I want to see which parts are released, workshoped or has no status at all. I tried it also in Teamcenter with the "Structure Manager" to find out which part are workshoped, but probably because...

    Error: The instance used is not in the current work part.

    I have a problem with an big assembly. I can only load it "structure only" and then switch on all separate sub-assemblies. I saw that one part was missing in an small assembly some levels lower. When I try to turn on this missing part I get the message: This component cannot be made visible. It...

    Parts not visible.

    Hello, A colleague has a problem with an assembly. Two the same part are not visible. They are loaded in the assembly structure, but are grayed out and not checked. First he gets the massage: "This component cannot be made visible. It is in an excluded reference set" As mentioned on this forum...

    Replace parts in more assemblies.

    Hi all, For a administrative reason I need to save a lot of parts as an other part. And in all assemblies where those parts are used, I need to replace the old for the new part. I know it could be done by opening all assemblies and than perform a "Save As" on the part and then part is also...

    Constraining deformable parts

    Hi all, We have a problem with an deformable parts an constraining it in an assembly. The deformable part is a simple spring created with a helix and an tube-command. The easiest way to constrain this spring would be to use the coordinate system I think, but all kind of strange things are...

    Hello, I've a problem with a Linked Mirror Body part. I have a right part that is a mirrored part of the left part. I created this part with a temporary assembly. Everything worked fine, until i released the parts and created a new revision. From the original left part I have now 2 versions...

    Centerline in drawing of a bend rod.

    Hi there, I need to create a centerline at the midpoint of a bend rod, but NX doesn't recognize a bend rod as a circle. Does anyone has a idea to create one? I tried to lay a sketch over it and project the curve, but also of a projected curve NX can't create a centerline. I created the part...

    Hi All, Today we had some network problems. Some people had problems working in NX and others didn't, like me. At least, i thought so. While saving i got no errors or whatever. But now I've restarted TC and NX and try to open the assembly i was working on i can't open it. I get the error...

    Hello, I have a scanned casting part, an STL file. I need to compare it with our designed part. How can i measure this scanned part? The only hing that is working in the measure menu is "Point on Face", but that is not really accurate when measuring a hole or the distance between two parallel...

    Hello, Is there a way to show only all the SCYS's of the sub-assemblys directly placed in the top level assembly? If i choose show "Coordinate Systems" in "Show and Hide" i get hundreds coordinate systems in my assembly. All coordinate systems of all parts many levels deep are shown. I loose the...
