    Electronic Rack assembly

    This does not really have anything to do with UG/NX other than the fact that I am using it to design an electronic rack assembly. I have been researching this topic for some time now and have yet to find a good picture or model which I can use as a reference to build my own using NX. I was...

    "Linking" excel to NX?

    I was wondering if there is a way to have NX reference an excel file so that when the excel file is altered, the sketch in NX is automatically changed as well. This would greatly help with parametrizing shapes. For example, I have equations that define a curve for a NACA airfoil. I want to be...
