Greetings!
Using NX6 I would like to improve our shop floor documentation by changing the default look of coorindate systems. I am only aware of the calibrate option in visual preferences, but I would like to customize it in a deeper way - for example: changing the letting size, removing the...
Greetings!
Recently I created a macro for faster surface finish symbol application. We mainly use 3 grades of surface finish in our drawings: 0.8 for grinding, 1.6 for precision milling and 3.2 when surface roughness doesn't really matter. I dedicated one button to each grade so there is no...
:D Yes, meanwhile I figured out too that's an important question. Now I know, I definitely want an expression. But never mind, I was able to find a solution.
I found a great article about creating expressions here:

I think I just did that. I recorded a journal creating a string type expression.

Thanks for the guidance! :)
I was able to use the FullPath property and I also realized we use underscore instead of dot to separate project ID from project description, so I modified the code to split at underscores. But I still could not find a way to create an attribute from the project ID...
Thanks for the reply! I am not sure if I can tell the difference between display and work part. It has to do something with assemblies?
Yes, I can. We have a dedicated drive for our projects which looks like this...
Hi!
I would like to extract information from file path into my drawings using title blocks. It seems to me in an other thread (http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=364026) this problem was already discussed, and even two journals were written to solve it. I did run both journals but for...
Greetints!
I would like to know, is it possible to create/add custom attributes in Operation Navigator? For example, I would like to see the cutting parameters - part stock, cut depth, stepover and so on.
I would use it for creating shop documents, because I could easily convert it to...
Thanks for the answers! :)
I didn't mention in the original post that, this would be some kind of improvement of an already developed technology, which is five axis milling with a ballnose endmill. The goal is to reduce costs by reducing the machining time. Using the disc cutter greater...
Greetings!
I would like to ask that, is it possible in NX to create multi axis toolpaths using a disc cutter? The goal is to mill a generic 3D slot. The following pictures show, what I mean.
This is an university project, and my NX knowledge is not good enough (even to judge), if it is...
Hello!
(Sorry for my late answer, for some reason, I wasn't able to access this site, meanwhile other pages were still available for me.)
My goal is to compare the theoretical surface roughness of endmilling (http://www.custompartnet.com/image/machining/end-milling-profile.png) and peripheral...
Greeting everyone!
I would like to simulate the surface roughness of peripheral milling in NX.
This means I have to deal with cycloids in order to get the accurate roughness values, because the cutting edges of the tool are moving on a cycloid path.
I created a few of them using the law curve...
