i was wondering, and probably it's possible, but i have no idea how i can do this:
i want to create a fastener assembly with this part:
sorry, my native language is not english and i can't find the english word for it. sorry for that.
can i create this part as a KRX file and input it in to the reuse library so that the fastener assembly command can see my own made part? cause right now it only sees the parts that are already integrated in NX.

Attached is a how-to document (section 6.2 covers KRX files) and some template files which may help you get started in the right direction.

Yes, that's correct. BTW a .dpv file is where customer defaults are stored and while it's possible to read them using any text editor, they don't make much sense to us simple humans ;-)

BTW, my comment about .dpv files not "making much sense to us simple humans" was of course meant to be facetious, but if you really feel that you'd like to see what's actually in a .dpv file (or any XML file for that matter), just drag the the file onto an open browser window.

Do you mean the 'Fastener Assembly' function?

If so, when you pre-define typical Fastener 'stacks' using the 'Configure Fastener Assembly' function, based on the Standard selected, you will have access to the various relevant fasteners from the Reuse Library.

Search the NX Help files for 'Fastener Assembly' (or open the 'Configure Fastener Assembly' dialog and press the F1 key) and you will find stuff which will help you set-up these fastener 'stacks'.

i do have a problem..
when i press F1 or go to the help files, i get this error:
"Unable to display help information.
Application contect not found"

is this because we use multiple HD's and NX can't find the help files?

Look into your log file (Help - Nx Log file)search for the word Help in the file.
Should be a (network) HD path like this :

UGII_CSHELP_DOCS "path to help files"

Probably it points to the wrong directory or network path.

Where are the help files then? You could make the directory and copy the full help documentation to there. But keep in mind, it's about 6Gb on size.

They are separate from the install DVD. But i think you can obtain them via the GTAC site.


You need a valid webkey and login for this site.

oke, i have it installed but..
it doesnt say anything about putting hex socket bolt in..
only this: Use this command to add an individual fastener or Fastener Assembly (bolts, screw, nuts, and washers) into selected holes automatically. The fasteners are retrieved from the NX Machine Library, which has a large variety of ANSI, Inch, Metric, ISO, JIS and other standard hardware. The fasteners are fully parameterized NX parts.

but i only have acces to the normal hex bolt and nut.. (see attachment)

so how do i put those others bolts and nuts in? since i only have the basic nut and bolt..
