    How to get nearest element from List expression NX8.5 and higher

    Hi All, I am trying to find the nearest number element from the given list of numbers. Imagine there are two expression1 and expression2 with data as mentioned below, the outcome I am expecting as expression3 Example: expression1 = 140; (number type) expression2 = {20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 80, 100...

    Using assembly constrains values on drawings as dimensions.

    Hi Guys, Does anyone know to use numerical values of assembly constrains i.e. Distance and Angle on drawings directly similar to feature parameters. This will be very handy to generate auto dimensions.

    AUTO BAD-LOONS !

    Hope you are not using multiple part lists in one drawing file, to check look at variable UGII_UPDATE_ALL_ID_SYMBOLS_WITH_PLIST = 1 (One). If that's the case then you just need to update part list, after you make reattachment of ID-Balloon. Reattachment need to be made on edge pre NX8.5.

    Adding tool tip to reuse library dialog

    Thanks Petulf, That's Good idea! The only limitation I found is that we reach documemt after feature/parts were added.

    Adding tool tip to reuse library dialog

    Hi All, I have made some custom reuse library parts. The option I am looking at to add tool tips for variable added in .krx and related excel file. Does anyone have this trick? Regards, Amit

    How to create a drilling model by an UDF

    Laurent, Try using new hole feature is much better with respect to positioning and changing hole type than legacy simple hole.

    How to Use Block styler (.dlx) with Knowledge Fusion classes (.dfa)

    Dear Graham, Your post is helpful to understand the working of BlockStyler with KF! At the same time, I am bit surprise to see that it is not working as UI-Styler use to. Thanks for your prompt support. Regards, Amit

    large Assembly problem ?

    If you are looking for 3D representation, try using Product outline. You may unload (close) assembly once outline is switched to ON. Of-course you need to define it prior to use. Assemblies-> Context Control-> Define Product Outline/Show Product Outline. Hope this will help you.

    NX9 - Export Entire Assembly to a single PDF?

    Manually select all required sheets before exporting to PDF, hope this what you are looking for. Later you may built script to automate the process.

    How to Use Block styler (.dlx) with Knowledge Fusion classes (.dfa)

    NX UI stylers (.dlg legacy) are convenient to make and goes hand in hand with Knowledge Fusion classes(.dfa), I mean to say it gets instantly linked with UI via matching attribute names(.dfa->.dlg). Currently, I am usning NX9 and observe that now a day’s the “UI styler” are getting replaced by...

    EXPRESSIONS

    Hi John, This is awesome! Just one more thing, can we attach part family update command with expression updated by any mean? Means when user will change only in expression and the Assemblies -> Components -> Part Family gets updated automatically.

    Isolating specific solid from ôModelö Reference sets option in NX8

    Dear Jerry and Jurgen, There are 3000 different parts, and adding the newly created solid to non-Model reference set is a good idea! Automatic inclusion of solid to Model reference set is perfect; the only problem I am facing is to isolate a specific solid, being taking part in this process...

    NX8: Replace component based on expression condition

    Hi Leon, You are very near to it, thank you for this information. Additionally can you or anyone know to deal with assemblies using expressions in the way part families handles it. Problem for me for not using the above approach is that few children are dynamic and are controlled by...

    NX8: Replace component based on expression condition

    Dear all, I am looking for option to use replace component... function available in assembly navigator using expression. For example if we have five parts made by part families child1_100, child2_200, child3_300, child4_400, child5_500 And a driving expression “child = 100” based on this...

    Dear All, Does anyone knows an alternate solution?

    Isolating specific solid from ôModelö Reference sets option in NX8

    Thanks Cowski and Jerry! As you know these both option needs manual efforts to achieve the required result. It becomes complex when you have more than 3000 parts to do this. Whereas I am looking for some automated process, where I can assign some sort of information to this solid by assigning...

    Isolating specific solid from ôModelö Reference sets option in NX8

    Hi All, I have more than one solid made by different features in my part (i.e. Extrude-Solid1, revolve-Solid2, and sweep-Solid3). While working with assembly, all these solids are gets automatically added to “Model” reference set, ideally this is correct. But my requirement is to exclude...

    [NX8] Assembly weight in drafting

    Yes Loki you have multiple workaround please search few old posts to deal with this kind of requirements. In fact I liked them but workarounds are useful for non-extensive and non-dynamic assemblies. The real requirement is still open. Regards :)

    [NX8] Assembly weight in drafting

    Hi Jhon, Thanks for understanding the requirement, apart from things that is not available can you tell us what was the reason behind not allowing combined mass (sub assembly) in part list? May be this will give some direction to us, to handle masses in different way.

    [NX8] Assembly weight in drafting

    I am too keenly waiting for this thing, in fact I was able to duplicated an ER request based on some previous one. I did this when we were using NX5 now its NX8 and still same problem! wired :( Even more annoying is that the information we are looking for (combined mass of assembly and...
