Another approach would be to use promote body. You design de uncrimpped body at part level (part A), then you assemble with the wires and you have an assembly with all the parts but not crimped yet (assembly B), then you create another assembly (assembly C) and add the assembly B inside assembly...
Yes, I meant assembly constraints and I meant constraint the link components to the sketch curves but not each sketch curve but all at the same time, that was the reason I unite the sketch. Because when I edit the sketch some links that were constrained to a line need to change and be...
I have tried to methods.
The first one was drawing a sketch with the path of the chain, unite the curves of the sketch, insert links as components and restrict the components to the united curve. It did work well for slight path modifications but if the modifications were big the assembly...
Hello cowski,
With hole series I can't make a threaded hole to different bodies, I mean with threads in different bodies. I need to create threaded and not threaded holes through different components (all different components have to have threads if the hole is threaded or not threads if the...
Hello Xwheelguy, thank you for your advise. Yes, I will probably place an ER for promote body (and for other improvements too), It will take me some weeks though. I have been learning NX for a few months and we have recently started to use it in the company, we had a "trial" period and now we...
I totally agree. Promote body is a great command, much better than wavelinking, but needs some improvements.
Not as useful as relink, but I think it would be good if the command let users to define in just one step that all components of an assembly should be promoted and united and even...
I came from Solidedge and for me is strange to have so many "Windows" opened with different parts, a bit confusing when doing ctrl+tab and I sometimes have problems with some workflows, for example when I open a drafting (master model approach) then set the geometry part as displayed part, when...
Yes, I use export PDF. By "thats the way I am doing it now" I meant the same process but in the export PDF command. Anyway thank you for the advice and info.
Hello John, thanks for the info. If promote architecture had improvements, then I guess that the information I got about this command going to be erased is not correct.
Hello Yevgeny,
Yes, that is the way I am doing it now. I know it is not difficult to do, but it would be very handy if you can select all sheets by default (saving clicks and avoiding mistakes). In others softwares it can be done that way.
Hello Eric,
I also use promote body for machined parts and I have been told that this command may be deleted from future NX releases which scared me a lot because others ways to represent machined assemblies are worst thant promote body.
I think promote body is a bit buggy command. For...
Yes, all sheets un the same file. It is easy to do by selecting them manually but i would like to set this Commander to select all sheets by default avoiding some clicks and posible mistakes
I like to use this command to print my PDF files because for me it is quicker than use an external PDF printer. But I would like to set by default to print all sheets instead of select them manually. Is that posible?
When I delete some features in a 3D part like hole features containing several holes and update views in drafting, then the dimensions,axis... became disconnected and I manually select and delete them. In Solidedge, I have the option to delete them all with just one button. Is there any way to...
Hello cowski, thank you for your answer.
With hole series I don't know how to make threaded holes to different parts. I mean that the same hole has threads in different parts.
Hole series geometry are stored in the assembly or in the part? I need the geometry to be stored in the asssembly
Machining an assembly after its components are welded is very common in a lot of industries as machinery manufacturing... I was used to make my models that way with other software packages. I mean, I was able to make cut-outs, holes, chamfers… to the components geometry and weld beads in the...
I attach two pictures.
One has the name ok but the logo image are not shown, it happens again sometimes.
The other picture shows the logo, but the name of the file is still wrong (still showing template name instead of file name, it is solved after closing and opening again the file).
Thank you Michael. Now, the problem with the link to the image is not appearing any more. I am not sure why it is solved but it is working fine so far. The problem with the file name stills appear.
