    PTS doesn't create a new file when inserted in Assembly

    I created a fully parametric part and created a PTS interface for it through PTS Author application. Then, I saved this file to a directory that is inside the Reuse Library. When I create new assemblies and try to drag and drop it from the Reuse Library, it creates a reference to the original...

    Modeling Spreadsheet wrong behavior?

    According to the docs, it seems that if I create a Spreadsheet (in NX > Tools > Spreadsheet), formulas that I type in the spreadsheet should be two-way translated (from spreadsheet to NX expressions and from NX expressions to spreadsheet). So I tried: [ol 1] In NX, created two parameters (Tools...

    WAVE Create Linked Part VS simply using WAVE Geometry Linker

    When WAVE Mode is activated, we can right click a component in the Assembly Navigator and choose WAVE > Create Linked Part. Let's call this the "seed" part (which is named "000018 0.2.0.prt" in my case). When the new part is created (let's call it "Linked01.prt"), it has all of the geometry of...

    Customer Default for sketches does not apply

    I'm changed the following customer default: Customer Defaults > Sketch > General > Part Settings tab > Reference Curves color I changed it, applied ii and restarted NX. But when I create a new part, the color is the same as the default, it's not changed. Can someone help?

    Feature Groups VS Design Groups

    What are the differences between Feature Groups and Design Groups? Both seem to work like a folder to put features in for better organization of the feature tree. What am I missing?

    NX messing up environment variables characters (language encoding problem?)

    I'm trying to set the UGII_ENV_FILE environment variable to point to a ugii_env.dat file located in the company's server. The path to the file is: \\172.16.17.2\NX FILES\CONFIGURAÇÕES\ugii_env.dat As you can see, it contains special characters like whitespace, Ç and Õ. Then I go to Windows...

    How to make a custom parametric spiral according to dimensions

    I want to draw a spiral according to the dimensions on the image, but I can't find a way to make it. Key dimensions: - The start point should be at 30° with a start radius of 180mm. - Spiral has 1 revolution (360°) - (This is the hard one) The maximum height point (where the tangent is...

    Best way to define expressions (user vs named expressions)

    Suppose I'm modeling a block with the following dimensions: Width = 10 Depth = Width * 2 Height = 12 Should I: [ol 1] Create a user expression "Width = 10", then start a sketch, draw a rectangle and dimension it with linked expressions "p0 = Width" and "p1 = Width * 2" Start a sketch, draw a...

    Best approach on part families that constantly change

    Hello everyone, I'm a new NX user coming from Solidworks. In the company I work, we make sheet metal housing for acoustic isolation. It's like a box with its sides covered by acoustic foam. The "box" has 5 sub-assemblies called "pads": front, left side, right side, back and top pads. The...

    Formulas expected behaviour for Modeling Spreadsheet

    I never used Modeling Spreadsheets before and I'm wondering if I'm having the expected results for it. According to the docs, it seems that if I create a Spreadsheet (in NX > Tools > Spreadsheet), formulas that I type in the spreadsheet should be two-way translated (from spreadsheet to NX...
