    NX12 and Windows 7

    Siemens has noted that NX12 is supported on Win10 and higher. We are about to upgrade from NX9 to NX12 but are still on Windows 7. Has anyone used NX12 with Windows 7, any known issues? We will hopefully upgrade to Win10 at the end of the year and were going to go to NX11 but there is a good...

    Export large assembly in TC as JT files

    In the end I used the command line utility assy_jt_creator. Seems to have worked ok. Thanks for your help. NX 9.0.3.4 mp12, TC 10.1

    Export large assembly in TC as JT files

    We don't have that on our menu drop down. Is there a setting to turn it on or is it a license thing, we have the base version of TC vis. NX 9.0.3.4 mp12, TC 10.1

    Export large assembly in TC as JT files

    I have a large assembly in TC (created with NX) that I wont to export as a JT assembly so people without TC access can view the assembly JT model with just the free JT viewer. The individual JT files are already created in TC under each part Item revision as a dataset. What's the...

    Custom Fastener Assembly Configuration (8020)

    Unfortunately you are not using using nx9 or higher. There is a new component array command that can array a single fastener stack to all holes created in a part where the holes have been created by one hole feature. It only requires a few clicks and all fasteners are fully constrained to all...

    Assembly Component management

    If you are just controlling if components are suppressed or not then use arrangements. Right click on the component you what to suppress in the assembly navigator and select suppression. The dialog box will list the arrangements you have and you can choose to supress this component in any...

    NX10 promote body

    Would be great if you could relink a promote if it breaks it's link. Currently the only options are to recreate which can be very complicated if the promotion goes multi level, or convert to a wave link which has the draw backs mentioned above NX 9.0.3.4 mp12, TC 10.1

    Hole to slot

    We have a running joke at work rev A is a hole, rev B is a bigger hole and rev C is a slot. Which inspired me to write the below code. I would like a bit of help to make it more robust in what face it selects (ie hole/cylindrical face only) and also allow more options for slot direct other than...

    Machining after assembly. WAVE/Promotion

    I wish promotions could be re-linked rather than converted to WAVE or having to redo the promotion. Are there any plans for this in the future? NX 8.0.3.4 mp2, TC 8.3

    Using Excel spreadsheet to drive NX motion simulation

    I don't have excel in front of me but when NX opens the excel spreadsheet there is an add on which gives you a button (can't remember the name of the button) to import the values into NX. Just saving or closing the excel spreadsheet won't input the values. NX 8.0.3.4 mp2, TC 8.3

    table cell shading

    In NX Drafting using either the Tabular note or Parts List command I can change the colour of text and the border of a table cell but is it possible to change/create cell colour shading (ie the area enclosed by the cell border) in a table? NX8.0.3

    Cutting deformable components in the assembly

    have same issue with NX 8.5.0.23. Have a feeling eex23 is right, a mr and mp update will fix this. Another work around Instance Geometry works with NX 8.5.0.23. NX 8.0.3.4 mp2, TC 8.3

    Associative measurement of flat pattern perimeter and area

    Extract a body of the sheet metal part at a time stamp before the chamfers etc and do the flat pattern on the extracted body. Chamfers can then be created after the flat pattern on the sheet metal part (not the extracted body) and the flat pattern of the extracted body will not show the chamfers...

    Hide all drafting annotations/views under a sketched outline

    Hi John, that's a good idea I didn't think of that. Unfortunately my view is a faceted representation and it looks like the break-out section command cannot select these types of views. The view is of a large motor and transmission assembly and we have found changing it to a "normal" view makes...

    Hide all drafting annotations/views under a sketched outline

    See attached for the result of using the method I described above. If you are familiar with AutoCad the equivalent command is wipeout.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=fae56de0-8a90-41e0-9a79-792f2f676c06&file=Drawing_Wipeout.pdf

    Hide all drafting annotations/views under a sketched outline

    Is there a way to hide any thing on a drawing under a sketched area outline, like a circle or rectangle. The best thing I have found so far is to use the area fill command in drafting to fill a sketched rectangle and then change the colour of the area fill to white. We have set up our colour...

    positioning parts outside of an assembly

    We wave into the subassembly the bodies of the parts we want to constrain to so you are actually constraining the parts in the subassembly to waved bodies. It works well but you do now have to manage waved bodies which may or may not be an issue. NX 7.5.2.5 mp2, TC 8.3

    Any Limits to the NX7 Material Properties List (phys_material.dat)

    is there some helpful 'tool" to covert the materials .dat file to a materials .xml file? NX 7.5.2.5 mp2, TC 8.3

    Re-Link a promote

    How do you re-link a promoted body that for some reason has broken it's link. The only option seems to be to convert to a linked body, but we want to keep some of the unique features of promote. NX 7.5.2.5 mp2, TC 8.3
