Hi John, I just had a go at this, and was wondering if there is a way to have two motions occur simultaneously? i.e. if you wanted to show a car rotating as if on a display stand with the wheels turning at the same time. Each time I add a motion it adds it after the last and there seems no...

Thirded! I asked my NX supplier about this around 2 or 3 months ago. I wanted to add some raised symbols and ribs onto the back of a moulded plastic part and it seemed silly that an operation presumably added to reduce features only performed half the job when applied to a single line rather...

Hi Simon, Hudson, Thank you so much for your posts, these are most helpful! I can see I have a lot to learn not only about practical surfacing, but also about theory behind it too. I now appreciate why the quality of the curves is so important in creating quality surfaces. Thanks once...

Hi guys, Thanks for your input. Hudson, thanks for your model. It explains a lot, and having looked at my model once agin, I can see where the surface is pinching where the tangential primary and cross curves meet. As I mentioned I am quite new to surfacing, so am open to any suggestions...

Hi, This has been troubling me for a couple of days now. I'm fairly new to surfacing, so I apologise if this is an obvious mistake. I have modelled a surface which I want to turn into a solid using the thicken tool, but I can't get it to work. As far as I can tell the surface is completely...

Hello Gents, I am still struggling to get this to work. What do you mean when you say seed hole? Is that just a general term for a feature to be instanced? The instance feature I used was a linear array of a group of features. When I try to mate the switch to any of the geometry created by...

Guys and gals, This is a great thread! Perfect for me as a relative new comer to NX. I'm just starting to use expressions and things in my work, so the working examples shown here, along with the technical information are invaluable. Just wanted to post a message so that the thread didn't...

Hi guys, Thanks for the advice. John, I've tried using the Array After Add option in add component, but I can't get it to work. This sounds ideal for my needs though. When I do mate the switch to the feature set used for the Instance Feature I get the following message - 'array template is...

Hi all, I'm working on a range of simple switch boxes which have a linear row of switches, either 2, 3, 4 or 5 switches. The model for the front of the casing which holds the switches is driven by expressions, so the same model can be used for all versions of the range. The switch spacing is...

Thanks for your replies guys, Thats great news about the sketcher update. I managed to do what i was trying to using Instance Geometry, just found it frustrating as the work process isn't as i'd have done it in Solidworks. Its handy to be able to see the arrays and things in one place, so I...

Hi all, I'm fairly new to Unigraphics software, having converted from Solidworks with my change of jobs. I'm now using NX6, which on the whole is a much more complete piece of CAD software. However I do find the odd oversight. The problem I am having at the moment is that i am creating a...

Thanks ctopher, The FAQ page was perfect. Forgive me re-asking questions, I am new to the forums.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm looking for some advice. I'll soon be in the market for a new PC for some freelance work I will be doing. I will be 3D modelling mostly in Solidworks 2009 (with some architechtural stuff in AutoCAD) and rendering in photoworks with more advanced output from Alias...

Considering the weight and the features built into it already, they could maybe add seats and a steering wheel and you could drive it through the airport!

Maybe you are after something like this? Lenovo unveiled it earlier in the year.... http://apcmag.com/new_thinkpad_laptop_packs_two_screens.htm
