    NX11 on Windows - Java prerequisities?

    I'm about to install NX11 on Windows7. Which JRE is required? 32bit or 64bit? Spend at least an hour searching in the documentation, release notes and any other Document available without finding any answer... :-( Thanks in advance.

    Wave link to reusable component

    What is the best practice when creating wave links to standard parts from the reuse library? Apparently the parent part file of a wave link needs to be modified which isn't possible because it is a standard part. Right now I'm using 'make unique' but it doesn't feel like the right solution to...

    Changing size of linked datum plane?

    Well, the subject is already the question. I have several wave linked datum planes and they are displayed in a huge size that visually hinders working on the model. I can of course hide them but I would prefer to just resize it as suitable like I would do with a regular, non-linked datum plane...

    Nx9 Electrical Routing and Qualify Part - anther Rou

    Qualifying a part I'm trying to assign the terminal ports of a multiport using the 'Create Arrays' function. The documentation mentions only that "Terminal ports define by reference to an instance array, both circular and rectangular." and that "Terminal ports defined by instance arrays are...

    Nx9 - Transfer customizations

    Is there an easy way to transfer ui customizations between applications? I know I can do it manually messing around manually with the user mtx and an xml editor which is better than nothing. For example I would like to share all customizations I have made to the modelling application with the...

    expressions of type 'list'

    The expression editor allows to create expressions of type 'list'. The documentation mentions that list-expressions are used to "...streamline NX DesignLogic interactions and provide additional functionality capable of handling a wider variety of design tasks." Intriguing! Can anybody comment...

    Nx9 Routing - 'Create Linear Path'

    When using 'create linear path' ports don't seem to be selectable as start/end-points. Is this just another bug in the routing application or am I missing some weird logic?

    Offset 3d curves

    I'm trying to create an associative copy, offset along z-axis of all the curves that are parallel to the xy-plane. Some curves are part of the sketch and other are curve features. Which would be the preferred and easiest way to do this? It seems simple at first but I can't figure out how to do...

    creating Part Module of existing features

    Is it possible to create a new part module in an existing part and move already existing features into the module?

    Modulus operator buggy?

    Is there some trick when using the modulus operator "%" in expressions? It seems that it doesn't work consistently - sometimes I get an syntax error and other times it just works just for the same expression. When entering the expression as soon as % is entered the auto-completion stops working...

    Deformable part defined by "inner" constrains

    This is somehow related to my problem regarding an error when trying to design a flexible routing part (http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=363377). Same error here but without routing involved. I'm trying to design a deformable part where the shape of the deformable features is...

    Deformable Routing Part

    I'm trying to create a deformable piece of stock according to the instructions in the documentation given in Home -> CADRouting -> SystemsRouting -> Common Routing tools -> Part -> Flexible assembly component. Unfortunately when adding the part to an assembly I always get an error message "An...

    Nx9 Routing - Quick Path?

    Hi, I'm reading through some older training material on NX routing applications where the function "Quick Path" is demonstrated. I can't find "Quick Path" in NX9. Has the function been consolidated with one of the other path creation methods? Thanks guys...

    Nx9 custom radial toolbars?

    Is there any way to define additional radial toolbars and assign own shortcut keys to show them? I got myself a new mouse (2D) that gives me 9 additional fully programmable buttons that can be reached with the fingers effortlessly (which is not necessarily the case with the buttons of the 3d...

    NX9 toolbar customization

    I would like to add the contents of the "repeat command dropdown" to one of the border bars. Is there a way to do it? The point is that I want to see the latest used commands expanded in the border bar and not inside a menu/dropdown.

    NX9, Navigator configuration

    Apparently some settings/Properties of the Navigators like the "Name Display" option are not retained saved between sessions or in the corresponding part file. Is there customer default that I need to set or any other way to set the navigator properties in a persistent way?

    Deformable sub-assembly

    Hi, I'm trying to create an deformable sub-assembly in NX9 - without success unfortunately. The assembly - contains a component pattern that is controlled indirectly (measurements and expressions) by reference geometry that sits in the assembly - that reference geometry is essentially two...

    Sketch point display size

    Is there any way to alter the display size of sketch points in NX9? Searched preferences and customer defaults but nothing... They are really too small to work with. Even the constrain symbol sizes seem to be customizable in the defaults so I hope that I'm just missing the setting. Any help...

    NX8.5 Bug in Userinterface

    It seems that NX has a bug in regarding the enabling/disabling of available commands. Buttons whose commands are unavailable are normally just grayed out but there are some buttons that are removed and then re-added. The problem with this, is that it scrambles the arangement of floating...
