    Extrude Problem

    here is the original part. what i was trying to do was to modify the defining basic curves of the first "extrude". i changed everything at once. it became the first one that i uploaded - all the underlying features are lost to the base body. The funny thing is then I changed strategy - just...

    Extrude Problem

    Hi Having a problem with "extrude". Attached is the part that has the problem What happened: after I edit/trim/delete some of the curves that used to extrude the base body the underlying features became no longer attached to it. I tried different approaches. If every time change just a little...

    Subtract Problem

    So John is there any easier way to fix this? (By the way feature 15 is the actual problematic one, not 14. That's why John and cowski didn't catch the right one. My fault. I turned the feature off). Before NX6 this problem happened. But it's really easy to fix.

    Subtract Problem

    i had same problems in NX2 and NX4. but never had this kind of problem that I couldn't fix in NX6. And it happened a lot more frequently in NX6. yeah i know i had quite some complaint over NX6. This is ridiculous!!! It's supposed to make the design easier and quicker. The reality is after a few...

    Subtract Problem

    I'm a bit frustrated here. Tried again. Still a no go. Can someone please upload the part after subtracting? I made that diametre to 19. but failed at 19.5. And it became OK when I increased that diametre to 27. Thanks

    Reference sets in NX6

    i did more test on the ref set. no way i could scrap it. there is some slight difference between NX4 part and fresh NX6 part. It's better if a new NX6 part is used. The components can be picked from the assembly tree. at least now i can use ref set manually with the same fuctionality. still...

    Reference sets in NX6

    Breif study has been done based on the documentation. And hands on experiment also have been performed. Obviously arrangements is not intend to "filter" the display. All the components/subass can be flip on/off no matter how i define the arrangement. Anyways thanks for your help John. I'm not...

    Reference sets in NX6

    John thanks for trying to help me here. But I think I still have to go back to use ref sets. Arrangements is not designed to "filter". Pretty sad here. Such a good tool and we have been using it since for ever(never had any problem with it). i don't quite understand what you meant by "and thus...

    Reference sets in NX6

    Unfortunately John arrangement doesn't carry the "filter" function. I failed to block the unwanted components. Even I decided to do it manually I still can't get this ref sets around. It doesn't allow me to pick and unpick from the navigator tree. I'm totally screwed this time. John can you...

    Reference sets in NX6

    Looks like Ref Sets will be another good feature that will be tossed out of the window by some talented UG developers. Having said that I will look at arrangement (why UG doesn't keep developing new stuff around the old stuff instead of making up something new and make loyal long time UG users...

    Reference sets in NX6

    Sorry I forgot to mention there is a top assebmly has STG10, STG20, STG30, etc. They are the different work stations and will need to turn on/off frequently to make design easier.

    Reference sets in NX6

    John. I think you might ask me why not turn off CONSTRUCTION in STG10. Problem is it's not very pleasant when the CONSTRUCTION has heavy parts in it (and usually it has). Every time when i turn on/off STG10 it'll trigger CONSTRUCTION(and cause massive display refresh) when I don't have a ref set...

    Reference sets in NX6

    The reason for including components in a ref set is very simple. Say I have a assmebly called STG10.part, and it has STG10_BOT, STG10_TOP and CONSTRUCTION - 3 subassembly. In those 3 only STG10_BOT AND STG10_TOP need to show up in STG10. How shall i handle that? thanks

    Reference sets in NX6

    Hi thanks for the reply! 1, Only applies to the GUI. I wanted to MB1 or SHIFT MB1 from the navigator tree. Not working! The reason I have to use tree is what if i have a big assembly and it'll take for ever to turn everything on. Besides it worked perfectly in NX4!!! 2, I tried that. Did n't...

    Reference sets in NX6

    Hi there Having some trouble with reference sets in NX6 1, How to add and delete components from the ref set? The "+" and "-" just not there anymore 2, When i clicked the new button all the components were highlighted automatically. How do I turn this off? 3, I had a neat macro in NX4 which...

    Hidden items don't stay hidden in assembly

    I agree with cowski. The best way to show desired entities in an assembly is to use "reference set". Have a question regarding assembly reference set. When I create a new reference set in assembly the components in the assembly will be selected automatically. How to turn this off?
