You will need to turn it to a PMI dimension, then I think you can. If you right click on the dimension, turn it to PMI. Then you can process this down into your 2D drawings. There will be some switches in your 2d drawing that you need click on. Double click your 2D drawing border, then go to...
Exploded Views is for ISO assembly type drawings, This needs to be done at the drawing level.
Arrangements are for showing different assembly orientations or different options to an assembly.
For example, imagine an air cylinder. In one arrangement, the cylinder is retracted, and in the other...
We prefer to use arrangements a lot, especially for exploded views.
We have many arrangements in our assemblies so this method works well for us. For what it is worth.
I do not think you will find the information in Books. There is Xcelerator training. Link Below.
The help documents, also work well.
There are a ton of questions that have been answered here and in the PLM forums.
I would start searching and doing youtube searches. The Information is out...
The 3DPDF Measurement is not very user-friendly. A couple of small measurements I took, seemed to be consistent with the 3D model. 3D PDF can only go out to 6 decimal places. The PDF and cad matched out to 6 decimal places. For what it is worth. These are simple measurements like a diameter...
"For your 3D PDF, is there a way to toggle between Model Views? Usually, PMI is placed into different model views. In NX, this seems to work well. Is there a way to change or export all of your model views without altering any settings during the 3D PDF export? Just some random thoughts."
"@greenimi Yes, I can take measurements with the 3DPDF using Acrobat, I do not know about the free Adobe Reader. Siemens uses a program called JT2GO, which allows for measurements and offers a much more robust user interface when using 3D PMI.
I have not had much luck with the highlighting of...
Recently, in NX2306 and NX2406, we have experienced random pauses when exiting dialog boxes. (The pause is about 30 seconds) This issue occurs approximately 20% of the time, with the dialog box exiting immediately the other 80%. While this problem is most noticeable with the measurement command...
Why would a CMM program need Basic Dimensions? Are you using the 3D model to create your CMM program? How do you deal with the Basic dimensions that are rounded? For example, the model is 4.5654646 and the basic dimension says 4.565?
I am being curious at this point, and maybe a bit off...
Here is another work flow, Use associative copy, copy the solid body. Now you have two solid bodies. Now on the copied solid body, use delete surface and delete the surfaces you do not want. Then toss the copied solid body on a different layer. Then you can show and hide layers in your...
Thanks I do appreciate your feedback, we have been testing it on prototype parts here and there, and found it pretty slow, and difficult to work with. The old sketcher was straight up and easy to use.
For Simple stuff, it works ok, but we had a sketch, with the new sketcher, every time it...
YOu could try using delete face command, using the synchronous tools. Then you can select pocket or boss for quick selection. What version of NX are you using?
Yeah but it is kind of hidden. Do a command finder for find in Navigator. Or go to toolbar right click Go to customize. Go to the Commands tab.
Then in the search bar search for Find in navigator. Then you can add this to your right click menus or your toolbar.
We are looking at the new sketcher vs the Legacy sketcher. We really like the legacy sketcher, but we do not know how long it will be on life support.
What do you like about the new sketcher?
Thanks
For Example D I would put .380 Min full thread and put .599 Max This way the manufacturing can figure out their best approach.
I like to call thread depths out on sections, as in Example D. This way it is clear to the person using the print.
We do not call out the Tap drill. Unless there are...
