Fastener Assembly
Fastener Assembly
(OP)
In Nx6 there is a new Fastener Assembly feature.
I have the problem to get a nut to the bottom stack, the washers to add works fine but there is no nut to add.
Reading the docs I should be able to add or to have an nut in the configuration - what did I wrong.

RE: Fastener Assembly
This is seems to be primarily a tedious exercise in encoding the larger set of fasteners in the Machinery Library into the xml files which control the Fastener Assembly Configuration dialogue... it would be great if someone out there has already done this and wants to share with the community...
Thanks.
RE: Fastener Assembly
where does one find this more extensive library?
i'm interested in using this fastening feature so i'll keep an eye on this post. :)

RE: Fastener Assembly
1. Install the "Machinery Library" into $UGII_BASE_DIR/ugii/Reuse Library/Machinery Library (If you installed it somewhere else, you will need to delete the old install directory and reinstall into this location).
2. Add the "Machinery Library" into the Reuse Library list (Customer Defaults > Gateway > General > Libraries Organized by Native Folder... Put the "Machinery Library" entry ABOVE the "Standard Parts" entry (which is entered by default with the base NX install). See the attached picture for reference.
3. Move the three *.krx files from the "Standard Parts" folder into the "Machinery Library" folder. (FastenerAssemblyConfiguration.krx, HoleFastenerMap.krx, ReuseLibraryFasteners.krx). These files will update automatically to include all the available fasteners in the expanded Machinery Library.
Now when you next start up NX and launch the "Fastener Assembly" you should be able to see all the available fastener types in the "Machinery Library", as opposed to the reduced set of fasteners available in the default "Standard Parts" library.
