    Import Assembly Best Practice

    I am looking into the Best Practice for Importing native NX assemblies into Teamcenter, and would like to get a copy of the pdf document stated in this post which doesn't appaer to be on GTAC; http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=282224 If anyone has a copy or any other suggestions then I...

    Teamcenter Import with Auto Naming

    If you go to File>Properties for the part in your local NX7.5 session you should see something similar to the attached image, I am using NX6 which has an Attributes tab with the associated Teamcenter DB attributes listed but no values set yet, I am not sure if in NX7.5 you now set the Attributes...

    Teamcenter Import with Auto Naming

    I believe you need to enter the Name in an attribute called DB_PART_NAME, this will then translate to the Part Name in Teamcenter (as long as Teamcenter is configured correctly).

    Chain model in Teamcenter

    Thanks JCBCad, our setup sounds very similar with the multi-site capability, and I can see how you can use datashare for the unreleased end fittings but not the hose modelled at the assy level. We can only share Released Items in Teamcenter so I presume I could use your method to share end...

    Chain model in Teamcenter

    JCBCad Thanks for taking the time to explain your method, it's a shame you weren't able to upload the video to assist with the words. From your description you say you create a bridge curve in the assembly the hose is added to, so this makes the hose specific to the required assembly route I...

    Chain model in Teamcenter

    tk369, Thanks for your suggestion but the problem is that although we know the length of the chain, we can't predict the routing configurations that will be required by the users of it. Cowski, Sorry I meant Alt reps don't transfer through multi-site not Alt ID's. JCBCad, It sounds like...

    Chain model in Teamcenter

    I would like to model a chain assembly as a re-usable part which I read is a challenge on it's own, but to compound the problem the part will need to be released in Teamcenter, so it would appear that if it is modelled as a straight chain then it will remain straight once added to an assembly...

    NX6 Part Family Save Directory

    I tried to set a UGII_SCHEMA env var to C:\Program Files\UGS\NX 6.0\UGII\ugschema but the error still occurred?! Regards moovrr

    NX6 Part Family Save Directory

    I have 'installed' the ugzipc utility and I now realise it is just a dll for the dialog, it works a treat as you all said, I just have to convince others that this is the best way to package their assemblies. I didn't get the ugpc.exe to work though in the ug command window. It returned and...

    NX6 Part Family Save Directory

    Thanks all for your replies, I am surprised that there are no recommended options to just put all the part data in one place. I will review the ugzip app and feedback, but if this is not a Siemens program or part of the core product then I will not be allowed to install it on my work PC because...

    NX6 Part Family Save Directory

    I am working in NX6 native (not Teamcenter)and I would like to specify the directory that a Family member is saved to after inserting it from the re-use library. I have found the Customer default for the Re-use library Part Family Save Directory, which I can set to a common area, and also the...

    NX6 part navigator icon

    Yes you were right it showed an error with the sketch when I added the Alert column which has now been fixed. Thanks to all for your help.

    NX6 part navigator icon

    Does anyone know where I can find the NX6 Part Navigator Help which explains what the image attached icon is? It appears to be a warning but the sketch is fully constrained!

    Problem with Knowledge Enabled Standard Reuse Parts

    Hi John. Do you know if the machinery library is being developed or available for teamcenter 8 or higher? I believe the download only works it TC2005/7.

    Problem with Knowledge Enabled Standard Reuse Parts

    Yes I got there in the end, I just need a decent download limit and time to look how Teamcenter is configured to store the library. Thanks again.

    Problem with Knowledge Enabled Standard Reuse Parts

    Thanks John for the useful links, you refer to the Machinery library of parts which I assume are somewhere in the Siemens ftp download area, but I am finding them difficult to locate. Are they the library referred to in the brochure here...

    Problem with Knowledge Enabled Standard Reuse Parts

    I realise it has been some time since you stated you are working on a solution for .krx files in Teamcenter, and may be busy elsewhere, but I wondered if you had any further info for us, like can Teamcenter be configured to handle the re-use library? The other issue we face is creating then...

    NX4 Save As NX2

    I'd like to come back to you JohnRBaker on a couple of points just to show that there are some strong customer opinions about backward compatability; As per 'cbrn's note, we 'the customer' would not expect infinite backward compatability, since this is not good business sense for us to deal...

    NX4 Save As NX2

    I may be singing from a different sheet here, but surely if you were a programmer writing an export routine for UG, then you would take the existing functionality/features in NX4 for example and knowing what is possible to translate directly to NX2 write the export routine to convert the like...
