I'm aware of this thread: http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=326603 regarding moving objects between layers in an assembly context. The problem we are struggling with is slightly different. We want to move an object to a different layer in an assembly context. The object is natively...

Hmm.. Just tried an NX7.5-defined UDF in NX9 without problem. What is your interpretation of an "old" UDF?

What version of spacepilot driver was installed when the issue appeared? I had 3.16.3 installed on my client a few days ago, and ever since, it has been throwing just these errors, whilst running Process Studio and separately a Visual Basic routine. Clients without the new driver run the same...

I've just had a quick look at PMI on this basis, using the Coordinate Note. Yes, the PMI stays associative to the point, but the actual text doesn't move, just the leader. We wanted the tag to remain close to the object it is associated to. I've looked through the menu, but there doesn't seem...

It is possible to assign a tag name to an entity via the Edit> Properties menu. By setting the Preferences > Visualization > Names/Borders > Object Name Settings to Work View, this tag can be seen on screen. However, when resizing or moving the object parametrically, the tag stays in the same...

We're looking round using NX as a 64 bit app. There are a couple of bits of info around this that I just wanted to esablish as either fact or urban legend. 1. If you open a 1 mb part created in NX 32bit on a 64-bit app and save it, it grows to 10mb or more 2. Can 32 bit NX open a part created...

We have noted that the method for defining a hole with symbolic threads has changed in NX6. It presumably came in at 5, where you directly insert a threaded hole, rather than firstly inserting a hole and then putting a symbolic thread on it. However, looking at the detail, it seems that in the...

And lo, the option to do this has appeared in NX7.5 [smile]

We found this with NX6. Seed parts created at NX6.0.1 worked fine, but seeds from 6.0.2 won't let us allocate A as a view letter, same as you are seeing. We can't find anything set anywhere, and these these seeds are just coming off File > New > Blank. We gave up in the end and doctored an...

I'm a KF novice, but should it be first({asm_struct:}) or something?

I can see where you are coming from, but I want the CSYS to lie on the datum plane I give it, whereas with your method, it lies on a plane parallel to the plane I give it that passes through the point. For example, I want to have the UDF lie on a particular face, but be centred about a point...

I've been playing with UDFs and would like to instantiate them with "on this plane, origin this point, horizontal vector this" kind of placement. I've tried to establish a CSYS to use as a base for the UDF using these inputs, and NX6 just isn't interested. I can do it as follows: Create a...

Try this. For NX6 (and 5??) the seed parts are accessed in a different way, through templates. So when the user hits File > New Part, the Templates menu is displayed and the user picks from the list. It will be noted that you are conveniently placed in to Modelling for models, Drafting for...

We have seen similar issues. One thing you can try is to use the Update Structure, using the number of levels option. However, in NX4 we have found that this does not always give the correct result, although "all levels" does. There are issues with parts that do not have a BoM at version A...

Another thing to watch for is when recreating work in a second system, that just modelling by reading off a drawing is a lot quicker than initially designing something. We had a vendor trying to tell us their product was much quicker than our (then) current toolset by taking advantage of this...

As I sort of said in the OP, Preferences > Drafting > General > Drawing Settings is set to Drawing Template. If I set this to Use Settings from Standard it gets even stranger, as I get some settings from the Standard and some from God knows where, until I apply the standard. Also, using...

At our site we have 2 alternative drafting standards , one ISO-based and one ASME-based. In NX2 and 4 we used seed parts to control the different settings, with the DPV set to ISO so that users pressing the "Restore Defaults" button may get the right result, but in NX6 the possibility is there...

Engines are certified to tolerate birdstrikes to 2 different criteria. For what are considered flocking birds, then the engine has to tolerate multiple strikes to all engines related to frontal area, and still maintain thrust proportionate to losing one engine (i.e. twins can loose 50% power, 4...

Additionally, if using imprecise assemblies, modifications to the intermediate level assembly nodes can cause both bookmarks and filters to fail.

Teamcenter 2005 SR1. Workflows in use to status part revisions, and rev rules in use to control display of these - although a lot of users get these wrapped round their necks causing all sorts of problems!
