    Maintaining Revsions of CAD Assembly, Parts List, and Assembly drawing. What are folks doing?

    Ben, So in your configuration, when you need to make a change (revise) to just the assembly drawing (perhaps to just add a note or correct a spelling error, you are forced to also change (revise) the revision of the parts list structure...correct? In your case, the same would be true if for...

    Maintaining Revsions of CAD Assembly, Parts List, and Assembly drawing. What are folks doing?

    I am curious how other organizations are handling/managing the Revision letter of the CREO CAD assembly, the Parts list structure, and the assembly drawing. Does the CAD model assy match the parts list revision or the assembly drawing revision? or are all there maintained at the same Revision...

    Managing purchased parts (that have the same p/n) that are represented differently in assemblies

    So the flexible parts can be routed (represented differently) in an assembly wihout checking the part out?

    Managing purchased parts (that have the same p/n) that are represented differently in assemblies

    3DDave, At a past job where i was the admin for all PTC products i had created a repeat region relation to correct how Military part numbers were identified. PTC's naming convention did not allow a slash "/"...but they did allow an underscore "_". So we used an underscore in place of the slash...

    Managing purchased parts (that have the same p/n) that are represented differently in assemblies

    Ben, Thanks for the reply. That's an interesting way to do it. I have a few questions that hopefully you can answer: 1) What do you do when the manufacturers part number is somewhat long and you cannot fit the dash and the assembly part number as a suffix in that field? 2) Does the file name as...

    Managing purchased parts (that have the same p/n) that are represented differently in assemblies

    Thanks for the reply Dgallup. But this is a very different scenario whereas just chnaging a dimension will not result in the appropriate configuration of the part. Think of a lanyard that can have an infinite path (it can be bent any which way) as long as the swept path defines a constant...

    Managing purchased parts (that have the same p/n) that are represented differently in assemblies

    Im curious to understand how others are managing parts, particularly those that are purchased which may be shown in different orientations in many assemblies. A good example are items that have retaining lanyards, like those quick-release pins. In each assembly that it is used, the lanyard may...

    How to add keep-out lines to NXdrawing (template) that will not print?

    John, Thanks for the reply. I will have to try this; but to be honest I am a little concerned about using an empty view as I am not sure how it will work in future releases. Also, the users may not want to see the view borders. Based on your reply, I assume there is no line type in NX that is...

    How to add keep-out lines to NXdrawing (template) that will not print?

    Our company standards require that users do not place views, notes, etc within 4 inches of the revision block. See the attached picture - I would like to add the two lines indicated by the red arrows. I would like to add these as really faint phantom lines to the drawing templates to designate...

    Part Numbers & McMaster-Carr

    We currently use vendor part numbers in our models and in our parts lists (bom's). In my opinion, it is NOT the way to go. I am fairly new to this organization (3 years), and I have questioned others of the initial intent of this decision to use vendor part numbers. For the most part is was...

    Master Model Approach. UGMaster vs. UGPart file name, pros/cons?

    Michael, Please see the attached pdf file. On the left you will see 2 options for storing NX cad datasets. We need to decide on one of these 2 options. I am searching for pros and cons of each. Or the right you will see 2 different methods of storing parts which are detailed on the same detail...

    Master Model Approach. UGMaster vs. UGPart file name, pros/cons?

    So when you create the drawing, you do not assign it an Item ID (Part Number) to it? How do you handle part families or part variations which are identified on a single drawing using a table: In some cases these families of parts are either created as a part family or as stand alone...

    Master Model Approach. UGMaster vs. UGPart file name, pros/cons?

    Michael, Thanks for the reply. I took a look at the image you had attached. What version of Teamcenter and NX are you using? How is the drawing added to the item revision? Is 110-01 the Item ID or the item Name (description). In some cases we may have a need to deliver a drawing along with...

    Master Model Approach. UGMaster vs. UGPart file name, pros/cons?

    The Siemens integration guide suggests to use the master model approach. The guide suggests to first create your part (UGMaster dataset); this part is stored in the item revision in Teamcenter. Next, the guide suggests to create a UGPart dataset and add the UGMaster dataset to it as a component...

    NX Part family member changes

    Would anyone know the reason why you are able to modify a part family member (checked out) that is in Teamcenter, but not be able to save it back to Tc? If you are unable to save it back to Tc, what would be some of the reasons why you would want to be able to modify the part? Are there any...

    Revision management in Teamcenter

    The reason is large company politics. Our process is defined to release documents only...not parts/assemblies. It's a document centric methodology that is managed by Team center. I am pushing hard to change it though. What I forgot to tell you is that our documents follow an alpha revision...

    Opinions on migrating all Ideas CAD models to NX B-Rep's?

    I would like to get some opinions on the migration of Ideas CAD models to NX B-Rep's. Is this method an acceptable migration path, considering that the B-Rep data can be modified/chnaged in NX using syncronous technology? Pro's, Con's. Thanks.

    Revision management in Teamcenter

    Here are my two biggest concerns regarding Siemens support of their products: 1) Siemens will seldomly provide a straight answer regarding Teamcenter configuration and setup. If you ask them to tell you how the tool is intended to be used, you will not get a complete answer. 2) Siemens seems to...
