I have a drawing 123a456DWG that defines the assemblies 123a456-1 123a456-2 Suppose these two assemblies are made up of find numbers 1 - 50. I want to use Auto-Balloons to balloon out these find numbers throughout the entire drawing.

Thank you SDETERS. I thought that might be the case. Can anyone confirm this for NX10? I suspect arrangements would work... But the PL might be screwy.

How goes your retirement, John? Any interest in doing some consulting for a tremendously big corporation? :) Frank

Thank you for your reply. No we are not willing to undertake the activity outside of NX. If you add two parts lists two a drawing, does the auto balloon feature still work? In my testing I haven't gotten it to work, yet.

Hi, In the USA defense industry it is quite common to have multiple "dash" numbers of an assembly. These represent different arrangements or configurations that are similar to one another. At my company we would balloon these out on a single drawing in whatever way quickly shows the...

I'm going to assume you mean that when you scale the displacement so it is true scale (not amplified by some factor); then you get an image in which the part collides with itself. You did not properly set up your model. Perhaps you need to define some contact between surfaces.

Seems like there is no way to actually access this variable. Major design flaw!

Unfortunately, this does not work for balloon find numbers in NX 8.5

This has been brought up previously, however it was many years ago and I'm hoping this has since been resolved. IN NX8.5 or NX 10 - how can we access the quantity of a part ($~Q) in an annotation? I can insert a parts list, and then use split balloons when using the Auto Balloon function, but...

Is this in NX8.5?

Hello, Is there a way in NX 8.5 or NX 10 to generate "smarter" PDFs? I imagine a drawing where I can CTRL+F for a find number. A PDF that a user could click an item on a PL and have it go straight to the Balloon. Thanks! Frank

You make a good point JNieman. Well said.

Thanks, John. Yes PMI is one method that I didn't mention above. We all should use it more readily. But PMI can't tell the drafter "Please make a section view here and show these specific dimensions."

Sorry. I should clarify. I agree with what you're saying! The "problem" / question i would like to answer is: In this environment, how can Engineering effectively communicate what is required on a drawing to drafting?

Hello, This is an issue that would ONLY ever come up when there is a drafters union involved. Drafters are the only ones that are allowed to edit and produce the official drawings for our parts and assemblies. There are three main workflows for how engineering and drafting can complete...

Thank you for the reply, John. As mentioned before, the font is not currently available in the insert->Curve->Text command. It has a little NX icon next to it. Does this mean there is no way to get it out of NX and into the Windows font folder?

Hello everyone! Been MIA from this forum for the last 3.5 years. Feels like I never left. We have a special font for silkscreening that is available when I insert a PMI note to a model. This font is not available in the Insert-Curve-Text command. Any ideas how to import it into that list...

Thanks guys. In conclusion, I will not be "jumping the chain of command" I will however continue to express my concerns to my supervisor, while documenting every conversation I have with him. If he ever claims I didn't inform him of something, I'll have proof I did and was ignored. :-)...

@Mint: I have thought of that. And it scares the crap out of me.

The problem is I have tried to help him. I've brought up problems to him to his face, suggested solutions to problems in department meetings. I even made him a Gantt Chart to try and help him realize what was going on. I feel disheartened that all my extra effort is always for nothing.
