    arrangement to equation connection

    yes actually it is! (however the Mold Wizard or Knowledge Fusion packages are required for this particular function to work as the loop command is part of knowledge fusion I'm pretty sure.) I've attached an image of how this works. I will warn you that the loop command can be finnicky and if...

    Text engraving and single line fonts

    A solid answer for this would be amazing. I've had the same issue for a long time now and using Modern OEM/DOS font is an ok stop-gap but it causes issues from the design to machining as it can't be represented in solid easily meaning text curves also need to be provided in a machine file to be...

    Irregular Profile in NX

    does this body need to be adjustable via expressions? or does it just need to be created with parametric features? I could certainly hodge-podge this together parametrically using datum planes, sketches, extrude and edge blends.. This however would be much easier to just mesh together with...

    Associative Angle in WCS XY plane (or others) NXv11

    I dont believe it is possible using the WCS reference. AFAIK getting an associative measurement requires you to use the absolute csys or a specified datum csys. why is using the WCS a must here? I think this could be achieved using wave linked csys or if I am not mistaken, inter-part...

    .abr wont attach

    Ive actually based the top border bar version of this on the previous threads Mr. Baker responded to on this topic and found that when I altered the attachment target to TopBorderBar it will fail. It does however work fantastically for the left, right, and bottom bars. as well, if you know...

    Edit a ribbon file using menuscript?

    Bleaker, this is an option I have looked into and I'm not confident this will work the way i want it to. I do appreciate your time and effort though. I have just found that exactly what I'm looking for is not possible currently. I have made an ER for this so maybe i will see this sometime in a...

    Edit a ribbon file using menuscript?

    I think so too. But it is absolutely more work upfront to get everything set up. Hopefully when I am finished, the end users will be happier as well.

    Edit a ribbon file using menuscript?

    Bleaker, this is part of an improvement project I am looking to roll out for my company. The reasoning behind using the toolbar files is that it will give administrators the ability to push out company specific buttons and applications quickly and easily while also maintaining individual users...

    NX working philosophy

    we can colour and place attributes on faces (depending on cam software capabilities.) Translating this to what the cam reads or what the programmer reads could be a function that your cam software already has or it could be something that the programmer looks at and determines tolerance on...

    Edit a ribbon file using menuscript?

    Hey all, Is there a way i can use menuscript or similar to edit existing ribbon files (rtb,gly,ddl etc) in the same way that it can be used to modify exising .men files? Documentation shows that you can use code in the below form to modify existing menu files. I would like to adapt this to...
