Reuse library and pasting a sketch

[eex23]

Hello all,

cannot understand how to create a sketch and then use it in reuse library? If i simply create a sketch, place that *prt file in reuse library folder and trying to paste into model, it cames as new component. how to avoid this?

nx7.0.1.7 64bit
win7 64bit

thanks

Hi,
Find attached a jpeg file showing the right process.

The most important thing is that you need to select the 2D Section option.

I hope this help

Thanks for the answer, but please take a look at the attached picture. Seems that RMB menu differs from yours. why? I can manualy create directorys from windows explorer, NX see them in the browser window, but option "add reusable object here" is grey.

Thanks.

So can anyone explain how to create reusable sketch?
Could it be problems with security settings with windows?

Hi,
Be careful, you did'nt created your own folder under 2D SECTION LIBRARY.

But how to create it? using windows explorer, o from ug? look at the attached picture (my previous post). there are no option like "create folder".

Hmmm, can not understand, why in some files this menu ("add reuse object here") option is active, and in others - inactive?
can somebody explain that behaviour?

Hi,

Nxparts seems to be not installed on your PC.

Have a look at the given image

Seems nx7 and nx7.5 has different options for reusable components in customer defaults (see attached).
so the question remains open: how to define reusable sketch in nx7?

 

[PSI-CAD]

You are right "2D Section Library" is new in NX7.5. Unfortunatly, I didn't have NX7 installed.

By the way, i can use already prepared sketches in my model. so there should be the way to create reusable sketches myself.
