    NX 7.5/Teamcenter 2007 Sketch Reference Lines

    So I'm hoping this will be an easy one. I'm working on some models that I started from scratch using the default model and settings on my system. I can create a sketch and add curves and do everything the way I have in the past without any issues. However, after a while, I go back to edit the...

    Anyone ever used "Variant Configuration Display Options"?

    Just trying to find out what this tool is used for. We're trying to figure out a better way of managing assemblies and variants came up as an option. I'm currently going throught a steep learning curve since nobody else here has used variants before. I think I understand the majority of what I...

    Anyone ever used "Variant Configuration Display Options"?

    So you're saying modular variants don't work with this particular tool then?

    Anyone ever used "Variant Configuration Display Options"?

    Anybody familiar with the "Variant Configuration Display Options" function in NX? I have variants set up but can't seem to figure out how this tool functions or what it's used for. All I can seem to do is create an error message saying that my parts have no associated variant rules. I've set up...

    Variants - Best Practices?

    I'm currently looking into using variants to manage our assemblies here at work. Up to this point we've been creating every assembly manually which is definitely not the most efficient methodology. I've been digging into it quite a bit over the last couple of weeks and I've become fairly...

    Assembly Management (Configurations?)

    So I've figured out how to create the different variants. Turns out, somewhere along the line the name "PSE" in Teamcenter was changed to "Structure Manager." That's why I couldn't find it. Anyway, now that I have the variants created with the different variant variables, rules, and conditions...

    Assembly Management (Configurations?)

    Okay, variant configurations look and sound like they might be closer to what I'm looking for. The question I have now is how do I set them up? From what I can find, it seems like I set them up in "Structure Manager" within Teamcenter, correct? If so, how do I access the Structure Manager? I...

    Assembly Management (Configurations?)

    I apologize. I don't think I went into enough detail. If I was only trying to hide or suppress parts within a drawing, I'd be already done. Either arrangements or reference sets will do that for me so there's no problem there. The problem arises when I open the BOM view for the drawing in...

    Assembly Management (Configurations?)

    I'm working on a project that has multiple parts that are assembled into a series of different final assemblies with each final assembly consisting of a unique configuration of parts. Each of the final assemblies has a drawing attached to it with part identifiers as well as manufacturing notes...

    Inspection points using PMI (Coordinate Notes)

    Thanks for the info! Looking forward to NX 9.0 then. In the meantime, the PMI functionality has dramatically improved the speed and accuracy of this process so you won't hear me complaining!

    Inspection points using PMI (Coordinate Notes)

    I'm working with several parts that have points established on various surfaces and edges. I'm putting the distances from these points to varius datums on the drawings for the CMM operators to use for inspection. I'm essentially creating a table on the drawing that has x-, y-, and z-coordinates...

    TC "Allow Save As Different Item Type" Customer Default

    So I'm working on another issue and stumbled upon a setting in the "Customer Defaults" but I think I'm missing something. If you open the "Customer Defaults" window, click on "Teamcenter Integration for NX" and then click on the "File New" tab, there is a "Allow Save As Different Item Type"...

    Copying TC Drawing to another part

    So I stumbled upon a setting that might work for me in the "Customer Defaults" but I think I'm missing something. If you open the "Customer Defaults" window, click on "Teamcenter Integration for NX" and then click on the "File New" tab, there is a "Allow Save As Different Item Type" checkbox...

    Copying TC Drawing to another part

    It is a Master Model drawing. I would do it the way you described outside of Teamcenter but because of the way I have the drawing setup, it won't quite work that way inside of Teamcenter. Rather than having the drawing as a separate part with it's own TC number (i.e. 1234_DWG), it is a...

    Copying TC Drawing to another part

    I have an assembly (1234 - Assembly A) with a drawing that I have set up in Teamcenter as a specification. I have another version of the same assembly (5678 - Assembly B) that I need to create a similar drawing for. Is there any way to take the drawing for Assembly A, copy it, and attach it to...

    Drafting sketch not displaying on section view when back clipping is active

    Okay, so I'm running into this same problem again. I've used the "Expand" function to determine that there is an issue in terms of where the sketch is being placed. To give an example, I have a section view that I've created on the X-Z plane so the Y-axis is coming out of the page. I have an...

    "Embedded"(?) Note in Drafting Identification Symbol

    I'm working on a NX 7.5 drawing that I inherited from someone else and I'm running into an issue that I can't figure out. There are a couple of symbols that have notes attached or embedded to them that I can't recreate or copy. It seems like they consist of a square identification symbol rotated...

    Importing WAVE-linked parts into Teamcenter with a "reparent" part

    Wow! That took care of about 95% of my problems! I still have a couple stubborn references though. Any other suggestions? I can't find anything within the part that indicates there is a reference to an external part.

    Importing WAVE-linked parts into Teamcenter with a "reparent" part

    As an update, I also have several parts that appear to reference some other part when I try to import them. The catch is that I cannot find out how the outside part is being referenced. I've looked in the "Expressions" dialog box as well as the "Interpart Link Browser" and cannot find any...
