Hello.
I'm new user of this Forum, but I read it since I started using NX 6. I'm using NX in my job - mold designing. In my short time (since august 2011) I encounter some problems that I can't solve and didn't found the answers. We often using mold wizard (for parting and standard parts), so I made library of parts our local and often used distributor. On the beginning I based on HASCO library but now I made my own parts. Many things I workout myself but there are some things that I can't.
MODELING:
1) Is there a way to change colour of part through mold wizard (spreadsheet)? for example I have 4 different kinds of springs, each kind has own colour:
a) green - light duty
b) blue - medium duty
c) red - heavy duty
d) yellow - extra heavy duty
Is there some variable that can do the trick?
2) When You use a pocket function (in mold wizard) on screws or some elements that has threads, pocket automatic subtract and add thread to part. When I made new part and add true and false it doesn't work. I figured out that there is used TAP_DRILL_DIA variable (in screws and others parts), but even if I use this variable in spreadsheet it doesn't work. Pocket only link part and subtract, no thread is made.
3) When I work in assembly, and I double click on part (make work part) NX automatic change reference set to model, I don't want this, I want that NX don't change it. If I set True it must stay true.
4) Is there a way to set false to weight nothing, because if I go to File-> properties ->Weight and Update it add True and False and mass is double. I found that in tools -> material properties first I set the material to true object and then I made False with very low density and add it to false object its work. But when assembly has 200 or more parts it's very difficult.
DRAFTING
1) When I first time add note, text to put in is highlight, but when add new leader then highlight shows on "Stub length" value. How do I reset it?
2) When I add in modeling attributes to part that I don't want to be displayed on part list PLIST_IGNORE_MEMBER and the I made masterpart to be as drawing I must do it again. Why this is not used from that assembly?
With best regards
Michael
