How to check whether two faces are parallel or perpendicular in siemens NX? Note that by measure tool angle between two faces can be measured. But does that angle 0 degree or 90 degree ensures parallelism or perpendicularity in NX? For example, in solidworks if two faces are parallel or...
I want to make a component to be in the center of another component. But the center constraint doesn't work. The constraint become pink in color and shows error. I have used 2 to 2 center constraint where I selected 2 faces from component1 and another 2 faces from component2. Note that the...
Hi 3D Dave, I understood your point. But what I wanted is if there any direct way to make the plane. In Solidworks it can be done directly. Therefore I thought there should be a easy direct way to do that in NX.
The above mentioned thread was removed. I don't know why. I am providing the Github link of "Rename NX File" program here. Please check it out. This may help you.
Rename NX File
We know that how important it is to separate the part, Assembly and Drawing files specially when there are tons of design files. As all the Siemens NX files have the same .prt extension, it is very difficult to sort out NX files by the file name or file extension. Unfortunately, over the...
Renaming a NX file is really difficult. Where as it is very is to rename a solidworks file from Windows. You can right click on a solidworks file then rename the file solidworks conext menu (See the picture below).
If you rename through this process every part, assembly and drawing file...
Hi Jerry,
This is exactly what I was saying in my previous comment. "You have to either unhide all the bodies at once or unhide the intended bodies one by one." The commands you mentioned in the screenshot unhides the all the bodies or a class of bodies or one by one. Unhiding your intended...
Hi Tomas,
In NX you can hide bodies easily by invert selection. But when you need to unhide only those bodies that were hidden earlier is impossible. You have to either unhide all the bodies at once or unhide the intended bodies one by one. Whereas isolate body command only unhides the intended...
Hi Jerry, NX don't have any Isolate body command. What you are talking about is the "Isolate Component in new window" command. And the problem is that this command is available only in the assembly file. So if you have several component in an assembly you can isolate any of the...
I have developed an "Isolate Body" command for SIEMENS NX using NXOpen Python API. This command work just like the "Isolate" command in Solidworks. You can download it from here-

What is the button ID of the x(Close) button of part window? I want to run a journal upon pressing on the x button. What would be the menuscript code for that?
In my program when I run the journal a dialog box pops up which I build using Block UI Styler. Now I want to do some work in NX while keeping the dialog box alive. But whenever I turn on any command such as sketch, extrude etc. the dialog box/journal collapses. I want that dialog box should only...
