I think you'll have to do it in Solid Modelling rather than sheetmetal with the flat pattern being purely the projection of the perimeter. Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - PENSO Consulting Ltd

Carl, Im sure we discussed a few years about putting reference X&Y lines in the sketch in order to utilise the 'move to absolute' option on circular parts, you should be able to move them even if they are originally drawn at absolute. Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - PENSO Consulting Ltd

Sorry Im not on NX at my current assignment but im sure someone else will be able to help, there are more than a few ways to get whats your looking for. Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - PENSO Consulting Ltd

Create a part family master with both nominal size and installed size reference sets. You can carry both these reference sets over into the part family members and control the sizes via the expressions in the part family spreadsheet. Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - PENSO Consulting Ltd

Why not skip a step and have the body inherit the colour of the trimming face directly? Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - PENSO Consulting Ltd

Packaging in the automotive context is essentially understanding where all the components will be located in the vehicle relative to the occupant and exterior constraints Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - PENSO Consulting Ltd

create a sphere, extract the surface of the sphere Draw a lattice of curves on the extracted sphere sheet body offset each curve in face symmetrically (so you get an offset curve either side of the original) trim the sheet body sphere to the offset curves, selecting the regions to be...

I don't think you can select them , CATIA seems to operate differently to other CAD systems in that there aren't many options for selecting, most of this is done using extract functions. You could extract using tangent propagation but its no the same as the see/boundary method used by Pro/E and...

From within NX go to Assemblies>Cloning>Create Clone Assembly Not sure if this will retain your WAVE links though Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - PENSO Consulting Ltd

Yes im not at AML anymore, in back on CATIA, need to change my signature. Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - Aston Martin NX8.5

Many companies use NX for assemblies with 1000's of parts without issue, for example aircraft, cars, ships etc. I think the answer lies in a PLM solution which would allow you to configure the product structure before you even load it into the CAD environment. If you don't use PLM then component...

I would have thought a reasonable solution could be found using Arrangements, Variants or Part families. Do you use Teamcenter or any PLM system? Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - Aston Martin NX8.5

Cant you save to a new revision of the existing number? Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - Aston Martin NX8.5

I thought you could just move them up and down in the little dialog box? Alternatively create a new spline on top of the old one with your selection intent set to 'control points', then replace the feature. Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - Aston Martin NX8.5

You can flatten them using Metaform in Sheetmetal Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - Aston Martin NX8.5

Maybe in previous versions of NX primitives shouldn't have been used for anything but the first feature but now since their position is associative I don't see a problem with using them in regular modelling. I would use them to create bosses on castings and mouldings, associated to a CSYS then...

If the gaps are small enough cant you just mesh over them in whatever pre-processor your using? Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - Aston Martin NX8.5

Increase your join tolerance? Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - Aston Martin NX8.5

It wont let me unload if the part has been modified, even if its just showing or hiding components and elements Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - Aston Martin NX8.5
