Hello, I'm wondering if it is possible to set a time out after 5 mins of idle usage of the wave control license / WAVE module? The reason to this need is that designers are unintentionally activating it and when it is really needed by someone else it is often already taken and it makes no...

I didn't started this thread but thanks for the inputs from everyone!

Yes you may John the problem is that I thought Interpart Expression was the same thing as Inpterpart Reference which I have used when entering the distance in the extrude of x (subcomponent). The formula used is "A"::Total where Total= Distance (100 mm)*Amount (constant). I realized that my...

joycejo have you tried any of the courses at myigetit.com? If yes then is the quality good? I'm thinking of taking the Gold Training package which looks promising but it might as well be useless if none of the 243 offered courses are good. Thanks in advance, Sillen

I'm trying to create assemblies using part families but now I'm stuck. Simple example: I have an assembly (X) consisting of one extrusion at top level and one component(x) also with one extrusion whose length should be the same as in the top level extrusion. I would like to use part families...

Cowski the company I just started at are going from Ideas to NX and the approach some of the designers are using to handle machined and casted parts is that they create the casted part and then create new parent in which the casted body are linked and the machining features are added. So to use...

Cowski I've seen that promotions and then wave linking are the preferred methods but I can't figure out why not use suppressions controlled by expressions instead. This reduces the amount of parts in an assembly by almost 50%. I guess there are some resons but what are those? The only...

Hi John, Yes I have played with those. I tried both to link it up and to link it down but I would like to not only reference a bubble in higher levels of the assembly but also edit it. Let's say I create one (or one per sub part) expression "machined" at the top level then I, in the lower...

Thanks for the input Micky, I will try those suggestions but a possibility to change a value on different levels would be the easiest way I guess. I will play a little with those functions and see if I ever get to Rome =) Two situations where I would like to use this is: 1: Use "suppression...

Hi, I can't find any way to create an expression which value can be edited on the part level and also in the top-level of the assembly. I'm also wondering if there's any "expression document" available, to all, that states possibilities with expressions. I guess there's a lot more to learn...

Thanks for the tip John. Unfortunately I have left the office and won't be back until Tuesday but I'm very eager too try it out. Seems like there's a lot of improvements in the next release, really looking forward to try it out.

Ok thanks for that input. Is there however a way to unite an instance geometry feature (the solids created out of the instance)like unite group or simply put a unite all bodies in part. Would appreciate if there are any ideas out there.

Sorry for this stupid questions but is there a possibility to add a group of bodies or an instance of bodies to a boolean expression and if so how are they added? Thanks in advance.

Hi Jerry, I'm running 6.0.5.3 and will keep doing that for probably 8 months. All I've found in the Help about boolean expressions is: "Creates an expression to support alternate logical states using Boolean values of “true” or “false.” Use this data type to represent an opposing...

Hi, I have a complex body with many sketches, extrusions and subtractions. This body will occur in different instances depending on what the customer wants. Is there any way to automatically unite the bodies created by instance geometry? I have tried using instance feature, which would unite...

Hi Cowski, Yes, the idea is that this is going to be used with a configurator later on and that's why I choose to not use arrangements. However if arrangements works good when using an external configurator i.e. it's possible to apply logic to it then I guess arrangements are the best way to...

Hello, I'm wondering if there's a way to control the position of a variant of a component by e.g. using an expression or rembember constraint? Example: an assembly consists of two parts, one base part (b) and one other component that comes in two variants, (a) and (c). (b) has two coordinate...

Cowski or anyone else: What is the differences on the output between your second alternative (insert annotation in drafting mode) and inserting a PMI note? Thanks in advance.

Ok thanks for your information Toost! I will look into ug_inspect. There will be many people involved during the design phase in NX and "allow replacement" is a way to reduce the risk of human mistakes and that's why I don't want to turn it of. Also later I will look into the possibility to...

I guess, without Teamcenter, the only way of creating a version of the old part, and maintain the UID, is to clone it. I can do that and delete everything except the Csystems, make the ones from the clone unassociative so that I can move them and once they're moved I can replace the ones from...
