Export to DWG 1:1 scale in NX9 1

[hashso25]

Hi,

I want to export a NX drawing to DWG file in Scale 1:1?

Example: if Views are created in NX with Scale 1:5 then if I measure in AutoCAD the measurement is 5 times smaller than it should be.

While exporting there is an option in the DXF/DWG wizard which is OUTPUT AS "LAYOUT". But in my instance i first use 2D Xchange to create a 2D part and then i use this 2D part for DWG translation.This option is not available for a 2D part.

Is there any other solution to my problem?

Thanks,

There is a bug in NX9 when exporting to DXF if the views are scaled using an expression.

You'll need 9.0.3 MP05 to correct the problem,

NX 9.0.3.4
NX 10 (Testing)
Windows 7 64 (Windows 8.1 Tablet)

Hi,
I am actually trying to translate to DWG file and im using NX 9 MP5 version. The views are not scaled using any expression but scaled while placing the view.

In the thread linked below, you will find a journal that automates the process to export dxf files at full scale. If dxf files are acceptable, perhaps you can use this journal "as-is". If you must have dwg files, then perhaps you can use the principles from this journal.

Hi,
I tried running the journal but im getting some issue with it.In the journal at the location where we specify "temp import/export file" ( Const tempTCDXF = "@DB@123/dwg2dxf@A") are we supposed to point a empty text file on disk or should it contain anything.Im not that good at VB.Thanks for replying.

Are you using Teamcenter? If so, create a new file and edit the journal to point to the new file. The new file will act as "temporary storage" for the journal. If you are using native NX, this step isn't necessary; the journal will create a new file for itself.

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply. Im using NX integrated with Teamcenter and when i try to run the journal after assigning
"Const tempTCDXF = D:\DxfScale\Export.txt" it gives error as shown in attachment.The "Export.txt" is an empty file. Can you please suggest what change i need to do.Im using TC9 and NX9 versions.

Thanks for the replies.

Start NX and create a new, empty CAD part. For the sake of illustration, let's say it is part 12345 rev A; modify the line in the journal to refer to the newly created file:

Const tempTCDXF = "@DB@12345/A

**The exact format of the part name string will depend on your Teamcenter options.

Save and close the new part file, save the change that you made to the journal file. Open the NX file that contains the drawings that you want to export to DXF; run the journal.

Thankyou so much it worked.Just one correction for "Const tempTCDXF =@DB@12345@A" instead of @DB@12345/A".

Like I said, it depends on your TC settings...
