I have a question on position override. I have an assembly and I am trying to move a small sub assembly that is part of another subassembly within my assembly with no luck. I select the sub assembly, MB3 position override, but when I use dynamic positioning, nothing. I searched past posts but...
Hi,
I've created a curved part by:
1. Wave linking in the mating surface from my other part.
2. Creating a flat sketch.
3. Wrapping the curves onto my cylindrical surface.
4. Using through curves to create a sheet.
5. Thickened sheet.
So how can I take that part, and show it flattened in...
Hello,
I'm trying to understand assembly cut. I created one in my assembly by extruding a cylinder and cutting one of my components and it works fine. However, if I wanted to reattach that sketch to another face in the assembly, when I edit the sketch, none of the components are visible. I...
Hello all,
I have an assembly with two assembly cuts that trims off material from each end of the part. Hide tool is selected, looks good. However at the next assembly the tools show up in the assembly and the drawing. I did try putting the tools on another layer and hiding the layer, which...
Hello,
Has anyone else had problems with their part family members not inheriting the release status of the parent item? This was working a few months ago. If I had a parent item (a template) and it was released, if I created a new item from that spreadsheet, it would inherit the parent...
I am trying to put a threaded insert into a cylindrical part. I use align/lock to contstrain the centerlines, no problem. However the insert needs to be .75 to 1.5P below the cylinder face and I can't seem to get that to work. I can't find a way to reference anything real on the cylinder face...
Hey everyone,
Has anyone had any luck in modifying the diameter symbol or the number value in a dimension? See my attached picture.
The two dimensions on the left are NX dimensions using the standard symbols. The ones on the left are what we get in IDEAS using a .65 text width ratio.
In NX...
Hello all,
I've just started working with PMI and noticed that PMI doesn't display on a 2D section. Researching it here, it looks like that isn't supported. Does anyone have a work around or is this an upcoming enhancement?
Thanks

I am trying to do a revolved section off a cylinder. I can do the first line by snapping to the quad point (vertical line) no problem. How do I get the second line to go at a 235 degree angle from vertical (0 degrees)? I tried putting a line in at 45 from the center of the circle and the...
We have a pretty extensive material libray in IDEAS. Is there anyway to migrate those into NX for use there?
Thanks,

I'm creating a socket head cap screw part family, pretty straightforward and simple. I am using a symbolic thread parameter in my spreadsheet (minor dia). I'm doing that in order to get the minor diameter to display in the drawing. However, I am getting a verify failure because of the shaft...
I apologize if this has been addressed before, but can someone provide me a list of features that do not migrate from IDEAS to NX? I had them somewhere, but can't find where, and a google search didn't help. I'm getting ready to migrate an assembly, and want to know upfront what will not...
I'm trying to print from nx 8.5 and the lines and fonts are printing thicker than they did in IDEAS. When I compare a C size print from IDEAS to what I get from NX it's a big difference. In fact, in the tolerance block, one of the tolerance values prints so badly that I can't even see the...
