    Ordinate Dimensions on an Angle (Projected View)

    Hi, I have tried that several different ways but I haven't gotten it to work so I must be doing it incorrectly. No matter what I do, as far as I can tell, the vectors stay horizontal and vertical. Matt Matt Steenwyk Mechanical Engineer/Project Lead Disher www.disher.com

    Ordinate Dimensions on an Angle (Projected View)

    Can anyone explain how to do ordinate dimensioning where the origin axes are not vertical and horizontal? I need to align them with part edges that are rotated 35°CCW. I've found answers in other forums that don't seem to make sense with what I'm seeing. I'm using NX 9. Thank you, Matt...

    Deformable Part

    I am working in NX 9. I am trying to make a part containing three solids (a prox sensor and two nuts) into a deformable part such that I can constrain the barrel prox and then deform the hex nuts to their proper position. John Baker did a similar deformable part in this thread...

    Sheet Templates vs. Drawing Templates

    I see documentation and discussions on both sheet templates and drawing templates and I see their respective pax files, but I can not find a discussion on what the difference is between the two. Can anyone explain to me the difference between sheet templates and drawing templates? Thank you...

    Access component's material property (Description) on drawing

    Hello, In my parts list, rather than showing the "Name-Description" in my parts list, I need to show the "Description" of the material. I cannot find the name of this attribute/property. First of all, does anyone know how to show the name of this property in the parts list (if I can find...

    Units Error in Title Block and Parts List

    I am using NX 9. I created an imperial part, a block that is 1" x 2" x 3". These three lengths are defined by variables named HEI, WID and LEN, respectively and those are linked to part attributes of the same name. The variables and attributes in the part file are both defined as Lengths with...

    Machinery Library Pins and Reusable Pockets

    I am working in NX 9.0.2.5. Until upgrading to NX 9, my company used a different hardware library, so I am not real experienced in the NX Machinery Library. I have the ANSI Inch and DIN libraries installed. I am placing pins (Dowel Pin in the ANSI Inch library and Parallel Pin in the DIN...

    Metric Thread in Imperial Part - NX9

    I also had to go in the upper left corner "dialog options" and click "Hole (More)". The dialog options are what's getting me. Thanks so much for your help! Matt Steenwyk Mechanical Engineer/Project Lead Disher www.disher.com

    Metric Thread in Imperial Part - NX9

    Hello, I'm using NX 9.0.5.2 and I have an imperial block (1" x 3" x 5") that I need to put an M12 x 1.75 threaded hole through it. I don't see an option in the threaded hole dialog box to switch units on my hole. I've searched preferences and customer defaults to try to find the option to add...

    Customized Parts List Not Updating - NX 9

    I have a customized parts list that is not updating. This parts list is used to communicate information downstream when a drawing is released for production and so it does not/can not exist on the drawing if the drawing is not yet to that point. As such, I've created a parts list and set it up...

    ATTRIBUTES

    I can't help with the first part of your question, but I believe I can with the second. I believe you'll get what you're after if you go to Customer Defaults, then to Gateway, and then the User Attributes section under that. In the right side of the screen, you'll then see an area with the...

    NX 9 Help and Java 7u101

    PhoeNX, I've used several of your videos, including the one you mentioned, and they have been extremely helpful. Unfortunately, as far as we can determine, there is a security issue between Java 7u101 and IE11 that is keeping the web pages from showing up. We may have to just go with Firefox...

    NX 9 Help and Java 7u101

    I am being requested to get NX 9 help to work with Java 7u101. I installed Java 7u101 and the latest patch from GTAC (nx85_nx9_java7_u665_u67.zip). If I open help from NX, IE opens and simply stays a blank screen. If I revert to the older patch (nx85_nx9_java7_u45.zip) and open help, the help...

    NX Revision

    Thank you for your replies. While, based on my knowledge of NX, I agree with petulf and cowski, I believe that what I am after is a custom NX environment as Xwheelguy said. Now, does anyone know how one gets these custom patches? My only guess is the customer... Matt Steenwyk Mechanical...

    NX Revision

    Hello, I am currently running NX 9.0.2.5. In different forums I've seen reference to revision C and revision K of version 9.0.2.5. I can't find anything about what revision of NX I am running, but I've had a customer request revision K. Can anyone tell me what the difference is between...

    Parts List Custom Attribute in Header

    Update-I tried to make a tabular note template that I can drag onto my drawing and I can't get fields to update either. The only way I get fields to update is if they are part of the drawing template. I'm not getting tabular note templates with attributes to work. Matt Steenwyk Mechanical...

    Parts List Custom Attribute in Header

    I am working on updating my company's templates to take advantage of tabular notes. In our legacy template, there is a line above the parts list that has attributes in it that are related to and contained in the assembly part file. I've customized the "stock" parts list in NX...
