Almost correct. It's Reset "Don't Display this Message Again" Thank you MANok!

I just reinstalled NX on a new system and the first drafting task I had was mixed units. To be more specific, I'm drafting one part only, not an assembly. The base part in mm, the drafting seed file is inch. When you do this for the first time after an install, you're presented with a dialogue...

I have to change the colors of solids and sheets of child parts all the time. In order to so, you have to set the following. * A geometry filter before selecting * Check the "Apply changes to owning part" box in the dialogue If you forget either one, the result is only effective in the...

I may have bigger issues... using the UG Convert Part Utility is giving the same results. No conversion. But it does say it was successful. Dave Automotive Tooling / Aircraft Tooling / Ground Support Structures NX11, Win 10 Pro

Thanks Cowski... didn't expect you or anyone else to be on here this week. Made sure my environment variable "UGII_BASE_DIR" "C:\Program Files\Siemens\NX 11.0 - BASE" is correct Checked information -> parts -> loaded parts before and after executing. Same units, no change. I downloaded this...

I downloaded this and it has all the appearances of doing it's job. But in the end, the part is not converted... any ideas?? 'NXJournaling.com 'May 13, 2013 ' 'journal to convert the units of the work part, native NX filesystem only 'journal closes the work part and calls ug_convert_part...

Lets Call that length "L" "L" = 3~8+.0005 3 = Min. 8 = Max. +.0005 = Increment (Optional) Dave Automotive Tooling / Aircraft Tooling / Ground Support Structures NX11, Win 10 Pro

I've found that all my drafting seed files have switched to the "AmdtSymbols" font. Which is chaos! Even the UCS icon is using this font now in model space Anyone else ever have something like this happen? I've been using NX for 25 years... NEVER seen this one! TIA for any feedback Dave...

What you need to do is build a re-use lib for your washers to cover the range _3 _4 _5 _6 and so on Dave Automotive Tooling / Aircraft Tooling / Ground Support Structures NX11, Win 10 Pro

Thanks Cowski, Let's give the journal a try, I'm still on v11. It would be a nice tool to have in the box if it works in this version. This was a tool assembly I imported from step and made limited changes to, it's mostly dumb bodies. No constraints, some geometry links, no inter-part...

Thanks Jerry, My "Part Find" dialogue doesn't have any of those tab options and seems to have limited functionality. didn't get anywhere with it. @ Cowski, I did find a partially loaded "156" part when it is definitely not part of the design anymore. We moved on from that part number and...

I get the following error... "A File with the same base name already exists" But it doesn't, not in the folder, not anywhere in the design. Simply trying to save 156.prt (Current) 156__01.prt (Versioned) This has happened before and be a real nuisance at times. I suspect at some point the...

The Save As method in the attached thread is the best way I've found to keep things in sync. But we always perform a save as on every part in the assembly, assigning a part number as the file name. It's done at the end of the design phase, prior to publishing Bom's or drafting anything...

Below is a Typical KRX file for the Re-Use Library. As you build your own library over the years sometimes you want to give it a face lift. But when you change the folder structure, the parts already deployed into jobs cant find their parent part. so you need to re-link them as you run across...

Thanks alot Cowski, I'll give it try. Dave Automotive Tooling / Aircraft Tooling / Ground Support Structures NX1851, Win 10 Pro

Is anyone doing this? I've got a bunch of work from another design house and I'm doing this the hard way over and over detailing parts in drafting. Select, Note Select, Category Relationships Select, Insert Object Attribute Select, Filter drop down Select, Face Select, Object Select, Leader...

Worked Perfectly Cowski, thanks! Dave Automotive Tooling / Aircraft Tooling / Ground Support Structures NX1851, Win 10 Pro

I've put together an extensive expression system for reporting dimensional data. When creating / importing expressions into virgin part files, the inability to do much with expression groups in journals has been frustrating. But I've found acceptable work arounds for getting most of my...

Cowski... delivers the elegance once again. Thanks Man. Dave Automotive Tooling / Aircraft Tooling / Ground Support Structures NX1851, Win 10 Pro

If you have an inch part file with a mm expression and format it to string, it converts it back to the part files units. Ex: Metric Part file Expr1 = 3 inches, format to string = "76.2" Ex: Inch Part file Expr1 = 3 mm, format to string = ".118" I just want the number shown to to be...
