We tried quite a few third party options, but ran into so many issues it wasn't funny. Not only do we need to interrogate customer Catia models (layers, tree structure, etc) but also need to make sure the data we create and send back opens flawlessly on managers computers (who have no real...

We are a medium sized shop with a virtualized infrastructure - two VMWare ESX hosts run everything. There will be no physical servers after the creaky old Win2003 mail server is decommissioned shortly (currently used for LUM server). Catia is only used to import and export customer data, all...

I prefer to undock and keep them on my second screen, both permanently displayed. Docked, and worse - overlaid on the graphics window - AND only one at a time.... is like working with an arm tied behind my back and undergoing MIT Blackjack Team training. OK, I see that they renamed it to...

This auto-dim behavior drives me NUTS. Used to be a simple checkbox to disable it, but I cannot find the setting in NX8.5 Anyone know how to make these windows display all the time? http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=276482 NX 7.5.0.32 MoldWizard

I don't use step too often, so for all the problems you can encounter I just export parasolid. THEN, import the parasolid (file, open, select parasolid file), save, and export THAT new assembly as step. I use file, open instead of going to file, import because import brings the whole...

I'm afraid I'm out of ideas, may be time to call GTAC. NX 7.5.0.32 MoldWizard

I see. There are some knowledge fusion references there that I havent seen before, so this may be more involved than I'm familiar with. Just to clarify, there is an expressoin TAP_DRILL_DIA in the screw component, and it does NOT match a) the driving xls file (M12=10.2 in your picture), b)...

I'm not sure I understand. As evidenced in my screen shots, the SPET format permits the transfering of a name from NX to CATIA. NX, however, uses a name field that is null by default. My request is to be more comprehensive in filling this null field with something useful before resorting to...

Have you checked the xls data file driving the component? It may be like mine, as I show some screw sizes referencing the var file and some (the metric sizes) being hard coded. I did that because we use inch drills instead of metric, and it was an easier mod than trying to figure out the var...

Will do NX 7.5.0.32 MoldWizard

I have customized the DME manual shcs component so that I can swich it from inch to a metric screw within the same part (useful for screws in default assemblies when some customers require metric, and some inch screws). Anyway, I have attached the xls file driving the screw component. You...

I have attached a PDF file describing this issue with more detail. I need to assign solid body names when exporting STEP files, in order to have named products within CATIA. I have both NX7.5 and CATIA V5R18 on my workstation. My assemblies are each several hundred parts, I cannot...

This is possible within other software systems, the attached pic is a model imported from Delcam Powershape. It would be a nice feature to have for downstream users of 1,000+ component assemblies. Are names preserved within step files? NX 7.5.0.32...

When I export a parasolid file, then use File, Open to re-import it into NX, each body gets created as a component but my component naming is not preserved. Instead, the new components are named "{filename}_id636_x_t". Is it possible to include include naming information within parasolids? NX...

"NX only supports multiple processors in certain and very limited portions of the code" In english, its single threaded and only uses one cpu. You'll practically never find that multi-threaded bit thats hidden somewhere for the purpose of marketing as a multi-threaded app. The i7 machine...

I should add my quote includes Microsoft Office Home and Business 2010 and windows 7 x64 (obviously), and some 2-yr 'pro' warranty that was part of the discount scheme. I have some 3-4 year old higher level precision workstations that were dogs. They were built more like servers than snappy...

They told me the T1500 is being phased out, the T1600 is the new one. This is a good level of workstation for NX, I'm considering buying a few (pretty much the exact same config as you posted) instead of 'white-box' custom PC's. My quote from Dell a week ago was just under $2,200 each with...

I'm well aware of how the object display colors etc work, this is NOT operator error. If I make a component the displayed part, add a chamfer or hole, then make the top assembly the displayed part, it will have set that component in the assembly to have zero translucency. I have to un check...

I've been having components pick up 'specific translucency' in an assembly after being edited in assembly or as the displayed part. Its annoying, I have to uncheck that option each time it occurs. It sounds like a similar problem. NX 7.5.0.32 NX 7.5.0.32 MoldWizard

Jeez John, his point is that making it private ruins its usefulness therefore creating a need an alternate solution. NX 7.5.0.32 MoldWizard
