    Export to pdf failing; how to plot with hidden wireframe? NX7.0

    Nx 7.0 on windows 7. Export to pdf is allowing me to go through the motions, but is not outputting a file. Any ideas? Is there an environment variable I need to set? I am able to export/plot tiff, jpg etc. Also, I'd like to plot with various rendering styles, namely wireframe with hidden...

    Help me assemble these two components please NX 7.0

    Success! I wasn't able to open the 7.5 files, but thank-you. I moved the datum coordinate system (so thats what that pesky thing is!) to a useful location and used it (via infer center and parallel constraints) to position the part. Thanks!

    Help me assemble these two components please NX 7.0

    Thanks for all the help - I'll try out these suggestions and look at the examples tonight. My original approach seemed like a no-brainer; I was trying to touch the swept piece (spacer) to the sheet metal part (clamping element), and was trying to touch>infer axis the appropriate sections of the...

    Help me assemble these two components please NX 7.0

    Great, thanks. Is setting the 'Reference sets back to Model' something I do before I finalize the constraints or after? Thank you.

    Help me assemble these two components please NX 7.0

    I'm new to NX so I apologize if my Q's are dumb: To add two planes as you mentioned, I would do that on the stand-alone prt file? Then I could use those planes for positioning when I add the component to an assembly? I was under the impression that only solid geometry was imported when...

    Help me assemble these two components please NX 7.0

    Here is component 2 - guess I should have made a zip. Thankshttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=bf1ef43f-34bb-4d1c-b245-453416efbe06&file=CLB-08_clamping_element_sm_hole.prt

    Help me assemble these two components please NX 7.0

    Attached are two prt files and a TIFF image showing what I'm trying to do. The desired constraints should be apparent from the TIFF; let me know if it is not. I can't get the assembly constraints to cooperate. Please enlighten me. Thanks!

    Plot errors on NX 7.0 running on 32 bit Windows 7

    To experiment, I tried the fixes prescribed for 64-bit Windows7 users. They solved the problem. Perhaps the FAQ thread should be edited to include 32-bit systems as well. Thank you.

    Plot errors on NX 7.0 running on 32 bit Windows 7

    I was unable to reproduce the errors in a new NX session. Currently, my printer is listed in nxplotadmin, but does not appear as an option under 'Plot.' First things first, I'd like to be able to print via TIFF, JPEG, etc. My print jobs never leave the queue. Log file attached. Thank...

    Plot errors on NX 7.0 running on 32 bit Windows 7

    Hi, NX newbie here. I read some posts about environment variables that need to be set for 64 bit systems... I'm not sure if they apply to my situation. I just added my printer via nxplotadmin.exe. I noticed that the printer did not appear in the drop-down menu at the plot screen, so I...
