Using NX 8.5, I have been adding a lot of GD&T to recent drawings. Using the feature control frame button, is there a way to create a composite FCF with 2 different symbols or can that only be done in the text editor? It seems that using the button, both lines of the composite control frame...
I am using NX 8.5 currently. I am using a lot of part families for the current project I am on but some of them have different material. For instance -001 thru -101 might be steel and -201 thru -301 might be titanium. Can i control that material change in the part family table? I have seen...
Well given the examples and help you have given i was able to get what i wanted. However given the time its going to take to set up the interpart expressions for all 500+ airfoil blades, i don't think its going to be anymore of a time a saver. especially since we would have to do all the...
I have created the Body Measurement feature and updated the family members with the feature. But i am not exactly sure how to get that into the table? I tried using an interpart expression but no dice. I can't seem to find the body measurements to link to. i even tried to create and...
After re-reading my original post, i realize i might not have worded it correctly. is there a way to automatically pull the weight from each part and have it auto populate in the table? i am trying to avoid analyzing each and every family member, noting the weight somewhere else (ie excel...
I currently have around 50 part families each containing 100+ members. When we create the tabulated drawing for the family, one of the criteria we put on there is the part weight. is there a way to avoid opening every single member or applying the values to each instance and manually getting...
Well look at that. Its exactly what i was trying to do. Thank you so much!!!! Just a question i guess, why do i need that intermediate step "weight condition". why can't i just link the beam height directly to the unit weight value??
not sure if this will help but i tried to upload the file i was messing with. I was trying to get the weight of the cylinder to drive the I-beam size somehow.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=83ea6f20-0519-4594-8046-97e7de5324c0&file=Base_00.prt
ok i will have to try that. Is there anyway i can do it all inside the same part file?? the final unit assembly is like an "automation". I have about 10 parts in it all done with sketches. I change 6 inputs and all the sketches update accordingly through expressions. Now I need to make the...
I am new to this site but haven't found anything on what i am trying to do yet. Basically I have a final unit assembly i need to put a base under. The base is created from I-Beam. I want to set up an expression that either changes the dimensions of the i-beam according to the unit weight or...
