yeah so I don't even have an index tab under the options folder in Edit>Options....
I don't know if my organization has a way to hide that or something. everything else that I can't change is simply grayed out.
An update to my situation:
I saved all my settings and somehow IT managed to switch them all back to the defaults. So it looks like I will have to continuously change all of the visualization preferences and faceting options every day.
Also, I found something that DOES break when you load...
well I guess I could just start saving "work part only" each time I adjust something on a single part. That makes sense, I will do that from now on... Thanks guys!
^^not being sarcastic, being sincere
but cowski, what if you worked a few of those parts and not all of them?? I hit the basic "Save" that says "Saves the work part and any modifiedcomponents". For my experience, any time you pretty much load anything and rotate the screen, it considers you "modifying" it and tries to save a bunch...
OK! cool!
The part about the MCAD was strictly just curiosity.
Last question about this is:
What is the difference between STEP 203 and STEP 214??
Are there any advantages for running one over the other??
Guys,
I turn off partial loading because frequently I'm working on individual pieces updating them in the context of their large assembly. Once upon a time, I tried updating something and NX gave me an error saying "part is not fully loaded and the operation has failed" or something along those...
Well maybe I'm just losing my mind about the Solidworks option. I thought it was one because I looked into this before. Either way, can you tell me which file will maintain PMI going to a Solidworks workstation?
Also, please correct me if I'm wrong on this, but from what I was told:
Was there...
I shut off the lightweight and partial loading every single day :( Our admins have them set so that I can't even change the defaults to shut them off permanently. I do work in extremely large complex assemblies with over 4000 parts in them, but it seems like with NX10, everything has been...
John,
It's not so much a "problem" as it is a "nuisance". I make a single component my work part, adjust something like hole distance, then save the part. Then I display parent, go back to my main assembly and everywhere that component is, half the holes have diamond shaped holes that make it a...
I had Export>Solidworks... in NX9
Did they remove that functionality and now want you to use the STEP or IGES?
Also, when you export one of these file types, which one will maintain the PMI for my vendor's use? He has solidworks, so I would like to make his life as easy as possible.
Yeah, I did set all my stuff up so that it works best for me. Kinda have a beast PC here. Quadro K2000 32GB RAM Intel Xeon E5-1620. So, the thing should be able to handle it, I just think there should be an option. Mostly due to the fact that each time I hit "Update Display" it instantly fixes...
Is there any way to get NX10 to periodically update display automatically? Like set it on a timer to do it every 10 seconds or so?
I do a lot of gaming at home and I know that the two drivers for each type of graphics are COMPLETELY different, but I feel like it should be able to globally...
yeah I'm just a designer, and engineers do all the calculations. I work on NX 10 hours a day and was just curious if I could make the program do some cool stuff. I found the exercise that I did before with springs and it was more or less just a calculation, not a stress analysis.
It's not...
John,
All I can find is someone trying to sell me femap.
I had a siemens software engineer show me how to do it to show the load on springs way back in NX7.5.
I'm currently on NX9, and was just trying to figure out how the guy showed me way back. I remember having to input a mass in the...
Hey guys,
I'm sure there is something a lot more simple out there or even a thread that I can't seem to find but here goes:
I have a hand truck with a 500lb oven on it, and I want to see if my flooring will be able to handle the weight and if there will be any deflection in the flooring. the...
