    Replacing a Deformable Component in an Assembly

    NX 10.0 I've created a deformable component that also happens to be the base file for a family part. The part is a pin. It can have varying diameters as defined by the family part spreadsheet parameters, but the overall length of this pin is the only thing defined as deformable. When I...

    Sketcher referencing options

    Thanks for the feedback, John, but I was wondering about whether or not it is possible to use existing planar surfaces as references inside the sketch. For example, if you're already inside your active sketch and you place a dimension from the first reference(which would be the center of the...

    Sketcher referencing options

    NX 9.0 Is there a way to reference plane surfaces of existing geometry in sketcher (without creating datum planes through the existing geometry)? From what I know now, I'm only able to reference edges and vertices of existing geometry. For example, if I have a 1x1x1 cube and my goal is to put...

    DIVIDED BALLOON IN NX PARTS LIST

    Thanks John! That will work. However, NX should really look into adding a tool that simplifies this to their drafting package. If NX can recognize callout and quantity then it should be able to recognize callout and any other variable associated to that specific item. ~Brian

    DIVIDED BALLOON IN NX PARTS LIST

    Adding the sheet number, or page designator, to the bottom of the divided balloon is the problem that I'm having. I can edit the manually created balloons, but as soon as I "update parts list" the manual edit of the lower half of the divided balloon disappears. If I MB3 over the parts list and...

    DIVIDED BALLOON IN NX PARTS LIST

    I'm using NX 9 and I'm having a problem with parts lists balloons. I want to use a divided balloon with the top half of the balloon showing the item number and the bottom half of the balloon showing the sheet number. Right now I can manually enter in the item number in the parts list and NX...
