@multicaduser Thanks, that's a workaround. But in the future if I want to do the same thing to B, i.e., move B and add constraint to it, I need to delete this fixed constraint first.
NX 2212 Windows 11
I want to move part A and create constraint relative to part B. Part B should not be moved during the time.
Option 1: Use "Move Component" and select "by constraint".
In settings I can check "move selected components only", so part B won't be moved. But the constraints won't be saved. Once I...
@Toost Yes "save as" can maintain the dimension attachment, but it does not maintain the associativity between part A and part B.
Part B is mainly based on Part A, and if there are changes to Part A in the future, I want the same changes applied to Part B as well.
I just tried "wavelink"...
@cowski Thank you for the reply. It's sad that this feature is not available yet. I will see if I can open an enhancement request for it.
NX 1919 Windows 11
I made a drawing for a body. Then I extracted the body, made some changes on the extracted body. Now I want to create a similar drawing for the extracted body.
But once I replace the body(by switching reference set, for example), all existing dimensions, centerlines, notes with leader, etc, are...
The non-perfect parallel/tiny tilt angle will be a problem mainly when I need to apply constraint.
Here is the way I check if there is a tiny tilt angle:
If it's a not perfect 0deg, the angle measurement result will show the tiny angle like 3.364e-8. In this case I know it's not perfect...
Hi RvdL, thank you for the great solution!
With patterned sketch, not only can I associate the dimensions among different sketches, but I can also add or remove curves as needed and have the rest sketches updated in once.
It takes a bit more time to create a new CSYS (I usually just attach...
I do further testing with expressions.
Seems like if I define an independent variable VAR1, define dim A in sketch1=VAR1, and copy sketch1 as sketch2, the expression can be kept as expected. I will get dim B in sketch2=VAR1. If I update VAR1, both dim A and B will update. That's what I need...
Hi everyone, I have a sketch with dimensions defined. I want to copy the sketch to other planes to create extrudes of the same profile but with different width/thickness and at different locations. I want them to link to each other so that in the future I can change one parameter and update all...
Hi Tomas, thank you for the reply. I am using NX 1919/Win 11.
I am looking for something similar to "transparent" command in Solidworks. When you select some parts, the pop-up toolbar has an option to turn them into transparent, so that you can see the internal structure of transparent parts...
Hi multicaduser, sorry I expressed it confusingly.
I mean I record the macro in assembly 1, and want to run the macro to change the translucency for parts in assembly 2, the code will result in error.
I check the code generated and I guess the reason is it selects object by the exact file...
Hi cowski, thank you very much! The journal is very helpful. I've set up a command button for it.
I also find out how to add it to right-click menu (There are so many shortcut menus that I get lost at the beginning). For those who are interested, as the journal needs to select the parts/bodies...
Hi mmauldin, thank you for the reply. It's good to know clicking the bar can reach a precise value. But now it needs to click by 4-7 times to go to the desired translucency...
I know multiple bodies can be selected at the same time, but usually I don't realize additional parts need to be...
Hello all,
I am switching from Solidworks to NX.
In NX, the way I know to make a part transparent is select the part->right click or go to View->edit display->drag the translucency bar to the number desired->click OK.
There are at least four steps to achieve the goal, and dragging the bar to...
