Hi axym,
Yes; you are correct. "B" (not shown) is the primary and it seems that 2 equalizers make up the secondary and tertiary as you have stated. It makes sense now. Thanks again folks.

Hi MadMango.
I think you are correct. I just found the section on "Equalizing Datums" pg 73 in ASME 14.5-1994 (but it looks like they removed this section from the 2009 standard...not sure why?). So, since we are showing 4 DTL's, we need 2 V-Block Knife-edge equalizers correct? I am still...
Hello All,
Perhaps I could have some guidance on this. I have created a sketch below that replicates something that I have on a Drawing. I am a little confused about the use of the datum target lines (DTL's) "A" and how to interpret them. Furthermore, I am not sure what to call this...
Hi rb1957: I see, so we would just treat the fixture as a lug itself. Makes sense intuitively, thanks so much, I will start digging.
MikeHalloran: Perhaps I should not have responded the way I did. I should have taken the high road and simply ignored your post. Looking at your profile...
Hi Mike,
Do you have any advice to offer? Or just complaints?
It's "simple" in the sense that I am looking to do hand calcs only (if possible), not an in-depth FEA. "Why" we need to thin the part has nothing to do with this post.
If anyone has any constructive advice, that would be great...
Hello All,
I have a fixture that is used for lifting an engine. See attached image for the part in question. You can see in the 'front' view the hole where a pin passes through the part and the lifting lug of the engine. You can also see the loading.
We want to machine the part down such...
Oh, I'm more than willing to make a phone call. But I'm doubtful that a phone call will resolve this. If GTAC needs access to the file, I'm 99.9% sure it's not going to happen.
Thanks for the direction. I'll give it a shot.

That's unfortunate since I don't know what a GTAC is. Google results lead me to believe that it is some sort of NX support center. We have our own internal help desk and do not send things out unfortunately. Looks like I have to tell the customer we're screwed.

Hello All:
I keep receiving the following error (see attachment) in drafting while trying to import a base view. I have tried changing my view preferences to 'delay update upon creation' and then manually updating, but I still get the error.
I don't even know where to start trouble-shooting...
Hi jpetach:
I tried this method to no avail. I used the "By Name" method and then when I open the file and select the component group to load nothing actually loads (clicking the red check mark does nothing either).
Is it possible that the components that I want to load 'live too far down...
So I seem to be having some trouble using the Component Grouping in NX. I am not sure that I am setting it up properly (I am following a company guideline). I did the following in NX:
Current assembly load options set to 'All Components'
1) Turn on Component Grouping
2) Create Component Group...
Thanks for the tip, I will look into this.
Thanks for this. It has given me a great starting point. I know that I have some more questions, but I have to figure out what they are. I am having some trouble using the component groups. I will post back shortly when I can better describe what...
If there is anything I can do to make my question more clear, please let me know. I basically just want to know how to set up a file so that it only loads the components that I need by using "filters." I don't know if the term has changed to something new.
Hello All [smile]
First post here. Please keep in mind that I am quite new to CAD software in general in addition to being new to NX. Let me describe what I have done, what I am trying to do here and how I have been instructed to do so. I have an assembly which is called a FileNameG01 (G for...
