    How to set it up so that when I open a prt from windows, it opens in my active NX session?

    I have multiple OEM versions of NX on my computer. I just switched to a new machine and on my previous machine, it was configured so if I opened OEMA's NX and then opened and PRT, it would launch into that active window. However the new machine, if I open NX and then open a prt from explorer, it...

    NX1973 Fit to view when using a view operator no longer zooms to entire part.

    We just had our NX updated to version 1973 and when using the "Front", "Top" etc view operators, it no longer zooms to fit the model, but zooms in on the 0,0,0 datum. I can't seem to find an option in the customer defaults that sounds like it would fix this. I assume there's something like...

    NX11: File -> Save as in an assembly wants to do a save as for every parent file.

    Since upgrading to NX11, when I am in an assembly and do a File-save as on a component part, it makes me go through a prompt to do a save as for every level of the assembly that is above the component I am working on. This didn't use to happen in older versions of NX. I've searched through...

    Any way to make different views on a drawing show different reference sets?

    Working on some very flexible tubes. For our production plant, they get a flat view where it's just a straight tube with all the clips and such on it. The assembly plant however needs a view in the installed position. So in the 3D data, all of this is done in one part instead of as an...

    Radial toolbar not always popping up in NX11 when pushing RMB on background.

    Looking for a little feedback here. We just upgraded from 9.5 to 11 before the Holidays. I'm just now getting into exploring the new options and things. The first thing I noticed, was for some reason they reversed the direction the mouse wheel zoomed. No problem, I found the setting to...

    Catia v5 importing steps generates components instead of products. Any way to change that?

    Just switching over to Catia after years of NX at my company. We're trying to get some data transferred, but one big problem we seem to be running into is when you import a STP into Catia, it's creating a mixture of products and components instead of doing it all as components. This doesn't...

    Exporting assembly level into individual component step files

    Is there a way I can export an entire assembly into individual component level step files in one batch action? We have to give suppliers .stp files for quoting and I have an entire assembly worth of components (~100) that I need to convert to step files and I was really hoping there was an...

    Is there a way to generate a list of all of the files you have checked out in Teamcenter/NX?

    No matter how careful I seem to be about checking files back in when I am done, inevitably I always get someone telling me I somehow have a file checked out. Is there a command or something I can run every so often that gives me a list of files checked out for either just my teamcenter ID? A...

    NX 9 Plotting not working

    We recently switched from NX7.5 to NX9.0 and on one particular machine we can't get the plotting to work. All of the task variables were set to the same directory (C:\NXPlot), and I can get all the plotters configured so they show up under the Plot dropdown menu. However when I try to go into...

    Help creating corrugated/convoluted air duct part

    I am trying to create a non-circular bent corrugated air duct. I can easily create one of these things if it wasn't bent, but for the life of me I can't come up with an easier way to do this. The original part was done in I-deas, which we no longer use. Does anyone have any tricks that would...

    Setting default revision when importing an assembly into teamcenter.

    I'm trying to use auto-translate to import fairly large assemblies into teamcenter. But the problem is, the default revision teamcenter imports as is A. however our teamcenter only allows revision AA to be used. Is there a way to change this? I've tried setting the DB_part_rev to AA in NX...
