Frankly, the new search menu in NX 2206 sucks! It's slower and it takes up the full screen. I surveyed some other users in my company, since I'm not a daily user and they confirmed the same sentiments. Is there a way to customize it and restore the smaller version so it doesn't take up the...
Upon entering this new version of NX2206, I imported my user role with my custom macros, one of which is toggling the background color from white to blue. These macros no longer work. It turns out they removed background functionality now there is only presets so you can select from. Is there...
NX v1946. You are exactly right. That is so much easier than exporting. I can create the faceted body with 1 click and then sketch stayout boundaries for collisions wherever i want instead of modeling clamps. This is helpful for NC programming to create solid boundaries for collision...
Yes converting to a convergent body works but the only way i know how to do that is to export an stl and re-import it. And of course it goes back to the absolute coordinate system and i have to move it back. So yeah there are several steps. I guess i need to learn the intersection curve on...
It seems Rapid surfacing can only be created using convergent faceted bodies. However, I'd like to use this feature on a regular solid or face surface (not a convergent faceted body). My current work around is to export the solid as a .stl , then re-import it to perform the rapid surfacing...
Thank you very much cowski! That function works good. I had trouble using it until I found an older example that worked: https://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=352315
This code has been working great. Now I have an issue because I need to import and export from the local coordinate system and not the main coordinate system. In other words I import 2,0,0 and these points show up way out in left field regardless of where my active WCS is defined. How can I...
If I create a group they stay packed. All I would like is to be able to select multiple sets with packed points and unpack all of them one time instead of each individual set...
I wrote a NX journal to import points which works great. However, sometimes I have a need to create multiple points that get "packed". I can unpack them one at a time but there is no option of unpacking them all. I've read that in customer defaults you can set pack to no but this is only...
I've seen the code you are referring to when creating a new point name. However, I am still unable to extract the existing renamed (non-timestamp geometry) point and output that via writeline. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
I've searched high and low and maybe I skipped write over it but how can I create a vb journal to extract points (non-timestamp geometry) to a file with the point name? I'm talking about a point that has been renamed (i.e. Point "PNT1") in non-timestamp geometry. A couple of these come close...
Same problem here. It was working a week or 2 ago. The symbol for the cursor changes to the red circle with a line through it indicating that it will NOT work. What gives? The Windows 7 environment? No changes to my NX profile. STANDALONE ENVIRONMENT. This feature does not work in TeamCenter.
How do you combine Point Sets in NX 8.5 yes/no? I'd like to do this to create a surface using Fit Surface. This works great with one point set but not with multiple sets. In addition is there way to modify an existing set to delete certain points? Any help would be appreciated.
I can build an assembly by utilizing my 2 monitors. 1 window NX assembly file, 2nd window is the explorer file window. When i drag the file over it defaults to add component but then it skips the initial dialog and goes straight to assembly contraint touch align. This would be fine accept...
I am still working on a function to create and save the NX current active 3D view into an image file (.jpg) that can be automatically placed into Powerpoint. But for now I still have to learn how to write the code for starting powerpoint, inserting a slide to either an open powerpoint or create...
true, vb.net is a different animal that I will have to learn. Specifically how to replicate the code I have for taking a jpg image file and creating a new powerpoint slide and inserting the picture. Its pretty basic functionality that should already exist but does not. Going from Catia to NX...
