I find it hard to believe that this isn't possible but I can't find a way to make it happen.
I have a drawing section view that has a 3D Datum A visible in it. I want to add a datum flag to the datum to identify it. However, I can't select the Datum line at all except to dimension to it. See...
Hello!
I am having an issue with drawings loading on one machine.
When they are loaded the resolution in NX makes any text almost unreadable. If I send to PDF everything looks fine.
See attached for reference
Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Thanks...
I'll see if I can get the Line break to work for my application for the moment, thanks for that info.
As for when I am hoping to get the GUI to open? I would like it to open when the part is opened, or at least prompt the user as to whether or not they want to use the GUI.
We are running...
Hello All,
Any PTS experts out there that might be able to tell me how to adjust the default width of a PTS created GUI? I have some text that is slightly too long and it makes the UI not look right when it opens and things are overlapping each other.
Also, while I'm here, is there a way to...
Hey all,
I get the feeling this might just be a needed NX restart but I figured I would ask before we lose the work that hasn't been saved.
I have a user who, any time they try to do anything in their assembly it goes into a 10 minute update loop of all the components. Is this a know issue and...
Yup, that is a good simple model and I am doing those same constraints but when I go to do mine I get the error shown in the attached image.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=95ace507-f763-4ee6-ba4a-b70f8233a2a6&file=centering_error.png
Hello all,
Using NX 8.5 and I bring in 2 parts, one male and one female, both rectangular profile. When I try to use the Center Constraint using 2 to 2 it will allow me to center one part to the other horizontally but when I do the same for the vertical I get this status: "This constraint cannot...
Yeah, I have been in NX for a long time and had never heard of it being possible. But I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. Thanks all!
Mr. Baker, I will see you in Dallas! :-)
Hello All,
I have a user in NX8.5 that has raised a question and I was unable to find a resolution.
Is it possible, within a sketch, to constrain a curve to a face instead of an edge? I personally don't mind constraining to edges, but I figured I would see if there was a way to do this...
I am well aware that this is a very long shot, but I figured it was worth asking before I have my designer redo his drawing.
So, I have a designer who has a part he designed. He has a drawing made for that part. He just realized he should have had that part as a sub component of another...
Since the referenced expression (P1 in the reference) is a string input I have to enter the A,B and C entries as "A","B" or "C" or NX wants to look for an expression. It wants the same thing if I enter it as A instead of "A" in the IF-THEN-ELSE expression. If I enter just A I get an error...
I seem to have a talent for answering my own questions ten minutes after I post them.
The syntax for a multiple IF expression is as follows:
if(P1=="A")(3.9)else if(P1=="B")(2.5)else if(P1=="C")(1.1)else(4)
Hey All,
I am trying to figure out how/if to use multiple IFs within one IF-THEN-ELSE expression
Something along these lines:
IF(P1=A)(1.5);(P1=B)(2.5);(P1=C)(3.5)
I am not sure if this is possible and if it is I am having some trouble with the syntax(yes, i understand that the syntax above...
Hello all,
I have a drawing that has two chamfers on it. One is recognized by the chamfer dimension tool and one is not. What causes this difference?
A note to this: The chamfers are part of a link feature. But this includes both of them so it still doesn't help me with why one is recognized...
On the NX side I guess I am still wondering if there is a way to determine this resolution or if it is just something that is automatically resolved by the software when I export the part to parasolid.
On the CoCreate side when I import the part the maximum resolution that can be used is...
So here's my issue:
I am working in 2 CAD systems: NX 8.5.3 and a little known system called CoCreate. We are in the process of launching NX and we still have users working in CoCreate and we are trading data back and forth pretty regularly. My problem arises when I try to export a parasolid...
I amswered my own question. Forgot that the pattern X and Y definitions were assigned p#s in the information tab of the pattern. Simple expression at that point.
Subject confusing enough?
Okay, so I have a pattern of cutouts through a surface. I want the width and height of that surface to be able to grow or shrink based on how many cutouts I apply in my pattern.
Can this be done through and expression or is there another tool I should use to drive...
