NX10 next release? When?

NX10 next release? When?

(OP)
Hi,

When would NX 10 be released?

Let's just say that, if we remain on schedule, we're considering subcontracting the delivery of the next version of NX to a jolly fellow santa who lives in the Northern climes and operates an air-delivery service powered by an array of rangifer tarandusreindeer2 elements.

RE: NX10 next release? When?

what are the main areas of improvements for the next release?

RE: NX10 next release? When?

Loki, I don't think that you will get much of an answer to this question yet.
those who have played with the beta release are not allowed to say anything and the Siemens people will probably not say anything until the software is more close to release. - it's not popular if one states that "this and that" will be in the next release and when time comes "this and that" had to be excluded for some reason.

Ask again in the beginning of December smile

RE: NX10 next release? When?

I beta tested 10 and, while it is true testers are not supposed to chat about new features, testers are not privy to production release dates. However someone from Siemens mentioned sometime in December and that's no secret. I think they don't want to say any concrete dates until it is close to being ready for production release.

RE: NX10 next release? When?

I was told at the PLM Conference in Florida in June that release 10 would be available for download on Dec 23 of this year. That was from a Siemens presenter

RE: NX10 next release? When?

If someone from Siemens volunteered an actual date then he did so against the orders of our management team. No specific delivery dates shall be shared with the public or to individuals (the few situations where this might be done generally fall under non-discolsure agreements) until we are actually prepared to ship the product. Any discussion of dates prior to that are are both inappropriate and irresponsible.

RE: NX10 next release? When?

Excuse me for a divergence of a sort from the original topic, but my question is closely linked to the history of UG/NX anyway. What was the reason behind the decision to implement unified .PRT file format, as opposed to the traditional division between piece part, assembly and drawing formats? I guess back then there was very few CAD systems around, and you were free to choose the path. Nevertheless, UG went for unified file format, while virtually all others took another direction. I believe that .PRT file format is absolutely the most brilliant decision UG authors ever made.

Industry creates wealth!

RE: NX10 next release? When?

It has to do with our life-long (well at least since 1974 when the first Unigraphics system was sold) commitment to always providing an upward path for the data created in older releases being compatible with newer relesaes, and if we had split-up the file format into explicit files types, which if we had, would have been with the release of UG V10.0 in 1993, that would have been very difficult. Besides, like most updates, even though with UG V10.0 we had moved to a scheme where files referenced other files (i.e. 'Assemblies & Components' as well as Master Model support for Drawings, CAM and eventually CAE) we did NOT force our legacy users to adopt this approach even if the data structures was able to support it (we tend to do that, go out of our way to avoid forcing existing users to make radical changes without giving them a few releases to transition).

And to demonstrate what I mean, I just now this instant opened a Part file using the latest development phase of the NEXT version of NX, complete with a 3D wireframe model and fully dimensioned and annotated 'J-Size' Drawing, that was last saved using UG V9.1 some 21+ years ago. All I did to open this file was to go to 'File -> Open' and select the part file and hit OK. A few seconds later the part was open and all I had to do to see the Drawing was to switch to the Drafting module. I'll put that up against anyone else in the industry.

RE: NX10 next release? When?

Printscaffold, :
It is such that "the other systems" files actually are different, or is it simply that they have added different "file name extensions" , ".asm", ".drwg" etc to a file where the file format itself is identical but the content is "assembly" , "drawing" etc ?

I guess NX could have taken that path, keeping a single file format but used different extensions to make the navigation for the users simpler and also start the same application as the extension indicated.

Do not get me wrong here, i LOVE the fact that i can run the Modeling and Drafting application on say a CAM partfile, this is wonderful, it's true design freedom.
But it would sometimes help seeing the type of content based on the extension.


Regards,
Tomas

RE: NX10 next release? When?

If you understand the workings of file extensions and their relations to executable programs, there is nothing stopping a company from creating their own list of file extensions and using them with NX.

You may have some issues when upgrading, but reassociation of the file extensions would be easy. Teamcenter may be a different story and a lot harder to do this with.

One thing I dislike about diferent file extensions in when a designer creates a .prt, .asm and .drw file with the same 12345687 part number. I have to remind them that a .prt and .drw or .asm and .drw can have the same number, but not all 3. The data manager does not care and will let all 3 be checked-in.

"Wildfires are dangerous, hard to control, and economically catastrophic."

Ben Loosli

RE: NX10 next release? When?

What I was talking about is not the matter of mere file extensions, but of the software operating mode. In CAD programs I know outside NX, Inventor for example, piece part-level and assembly-level modeling is markedly different from each other, and interpart geometry linking capability is seriously diminished. In NX, assembly hierarchy is completely flat as long as interpart linking is concerned, and modeling at assembly level is virtually the same as on the piece part level. All of this is brought forth by the PRT format, bless it. :)

RE: NX10 next release? When?

@PrintScaffold
I was always searching for some who actually LIKED the way that in NX everything can be anything. Our Users HATE that they always have to switch to drafting etc. In their opinion NX has to know when a drawing is open etc. I think it should be no problem for NX to know when only drafting should be possible etc...
YOu are the very first one I met who LIKED this behaviour... smile

RE: NX10 next release? When?

@schellenbergj
Be sure I am not the only one shoe likes this. smile I'd question the way your users were educated, but not the way NX behaves.

Industry creates wealth!

RE: NX10 next release? When?

I agree with Printscaffold. I orginally thought .prt file only why? Then I started using NX.

A user can tell if it is an assembly, part and or drawing by the icon in teamcenter integration throuhg NX. If you have teamcenter if you go to file open in NX. The icon appears diffrent next to the dataset if it is a drawing, part and or assembly.

RE: NX10 next release? When?

Hello,

Does NX10 still have direct sketch AND sketch in task, or have these two sketch methods been rationalised?

Thanks in advance, Carl

www.jcb.com
NX 8.5 with TC 8.3

RE: NX10 next release? When?

You can still do either. Granted, out-of-the-box the Direct Sketch is given a more prominent role (and that was the same in NX 9.0) but there is no problem in either making the Sketch Task the default or giving them both roles. For example, I've set-up my system so that I have top-level Ribbon icons for both Direct Sketch and the Sketch Task, and as far as editing an existing Sketch, if I'm doing a Edit with Rollback, I opt for the Sketch Task whereas if I do a simple edit, then it opts for the Direst Sketch.

RE: NX10 next release? When?

Looking at the NX 10 screenshots there is no difference with the NX 9 interface.
I was under the impression that extra icon sizes would be available. To fit better in the ribbon and address the issue of medium size icons and wasted space, versus, tiny icons.
I hope I am wrong, otherwise it will be a disappointment. Specially for those using small screens in laptops.
The ideal arrangement would be as the classic interface, being able to fit in the ribbon columns of 3 icons with 24 x 24 pixels each.

RE: NX10 next release? When?

Without saying too much about NX10 ( which i am not allowed to )
The NX10 Beta has options for small screens. You can select "slim ribbon".
But better, get yourself a large screen laptop next time smile

Based on John's NX 10 demo in Rochester yesterday, you probably wont be disappointed. There are now 4 icon sizes (small, medium, large, extra large). I believe he said the rule is 3 small, 2 medium, 1 large or extra large icons stacked vertically. There is also the option to have large w/o text (but you cannot stack two large icons this way). Additionally, there are tablet and touchscreen layouts available. Maybe John can post screenshots now?

There are also new "theme" options that basically lighten up the ribbon UI. There were lots of improvements to the sorting and such of the "customize" ribbon dialog as well. And some other improvements to the palettes.

Also featured were some really awesome surfacing features (can't remember what those were called), a reworked section view tool (you can draw sections lines like a sketch and then choose to insert the section view), and auto gapping on dimension extensions (yay!). Oh, and they changed the default mouse zoom settings as well. Mouse wheel in = zoom in, mouse wheel out = zoom out.

...surfacing features (can't remember what those were called)...

Fill surface?

www.nxjournaling.com

RE: NX10 next release? When?

As I can see it, the only difference with NX 9 is a new extra large size icon without text.

I use both, a small laptop and most of the time a huge 30" monitor.
The tiny size icons lack awareness in both screens, and using them with text defeat the iconography purpose.
The medium size is the ideal, mimics the classic interface size, allows to achieve bigger density and keeps a reasonable awareness of its meaning. However, it is only possible to stack two of them instead of three.

The basic idea is to get the maximum quantity of icons in the ribbon to reduce switching tabs and to obtain a performance similar to the classical interface.
Don't get me wrong, I like a lot the ribbon idea, but this current implementation waste too much space.

RE: NX10 next release? When?

I did not see anything about sweep solid body??? 2thumbsup

RE: NX10 next release? When?

I assume that the 'surface' feature that was mentioned was 'NX Realize Shape™'. Here are a couple of videos shows NX Realize Shapes which was introduced in NX 9.0.

RE: NX10 next release? When?

Out-of-the-box, the NX 10.0 Ribbon uses a combination of Large and Small icons with text, just like NX 9.0 did. However, unlike NX 9.0, you now have the OPTION to also use Medium and Extra-Large icons, and except for the Extra-Large icon, which only comes without text, the other three sizes, Small, Medium and Large can be shown either with or without text. Note that the introduction of the Extra-Large icons is in anticipation of the use of 4K displays. Also there's an option to simply increase the size of the entire Ribbon by 50% which is probably the way most people who move to 4K displays will handle this rather than edit individual icons, but you have the option to take whatever approach that you prefer.

RE: NX10 next release? When?

I noticed in one of the PDFs that 10 was going to support (even more so then 9) touch UIs. Thats really great to be able to use NX in not only a Desktop situation but also a mobile/touch/pen interface. This is perfect! (and awesome). A few more options RE: the Ribbon UI to get it to "at least i'll put up with it" level. And that's a positive at least :). I briefly was able to give NX9 a quick test drive on a 12" touch WinTab (just basic zoom controls) and fell in love with how these controls were so fluid/compatible and just seamlessly worked and fast. I could switch been rotating view to panning to zooming all instantly with no frustrating pauses or weird behavior. These kinds of things really make a difference and other software developers need to wake up and achieve this level in all facets of a UI and not just one (even though my point here is that with CAD, view control is a massive part of every day use and having it work "how it should" does lots for ones sanity). :)

RE: NX10 next release? When?

With respect to the idea of using NX on touch-enabled devices, with NX 10.0 we're providing some predefined (which can be edited and updated) 'roles' specific to that environment. In addition to the default (non-touch) role, we are providing one optimized for a normal PC's touch display and one for a hand-held tablet.

BTW, we've also added some additional enhancements to improve the user experience when running NX on dual monitors, such as allowing the user to move the complete Ribbon and/or the Resource Bar to the second monitor. In the case of the Resource Bar, this means that the 'navigator' panels will now expand out onto the second monitor WITHOUT the need of having to individually 'undock' them first.

John, I have a somewhat provocative question. Do you plan in the future to allow straightforward editing of component bodies at the assembly level (machining after assembly), without need to promote or WAVE-link them first? Or is it too difficult to implement?

RE: NX10 next release? When?

Sorry for the somewhat off-topic question, but I believe it fits in the general topic of NX development.

Industry creates wealth!

RE: NX10 next release? When?

John, 2 questions
1) are we, the beta testers, now allowed to speak about the software we ( still ) have ?
I do understand fully that things/ features/content still can change before NX10 goes live.

2) You say above that:
"Out-of-the-box, the NX 10.0 Ribbon uses a combination of Large and Small icons with text, just like NX 9.0 did. However, unlike NX 9.0, you now have the OPTION to also use Medium and Extra-Large icons, and except for the Extra-Large icon, which only comes without text, the other three sizes, Small, Medium and Large can be shown either with or without text.

- If i look into the File - Preferences - User interface -Layout - Ribbon bar options, there is a "Slim ribbon style" which probably is what Millimeter asks about above.
There are settings under "Customize" - user interface for this "Slim ribbon" - Icons "extra small, 16x16" etc
Comments ?

Tomas

RE: NX10 next release? When?

Toost, while I don't know what beta phase of NX 10.0 that you've got installed, we are currently within one phase of final code freeze (that's the version that I'm demoing this week and next at the RUGS) so final content is set, period. As for your question about what you can say, I suspect that as long as it's limited to comments about the current beta phase (not what was being used while you were actually in-house performing the testing) and you're not disclosing any of the documentation and other feedback provided as part of the formal beta activity, I think you're safe.

As to your question about the 'slim ribbon', if that is what Millimetetr was talking about, then that's NOT the out-of-the-box way that NX 9.0 (or for that matter, NX 10.0) starts up. The 'Slim Ribbon' is an optional ribbon scheme that's being added with NX 10.0 which does provide a somewhat similar layout to a single conventional 'toolbar', but it's actually there to support somemthing like the touch-screen layout for handheld devices, where a single row of icons is more appropriate then the default mix of different sized icons, with the smaller ones being stacked. The fact that the default 'Slim Ribbon' shows small icons is just a starting point and is not necessarily how we think it will actually be used.

Do any of you currently write or use progranms which extracts and them parses the contents of the listing window?

I'm currently using/maintaining a program that writes listing window information to a network stored text file. I wouldn't really call it "parsing", but we are using the listing window info. This program is part of our export logging. This program runs automatically when someone chooses and export command. It checks if the user is authorized for export, writes their user name, date, and the part being exported and saves the LW info to a text file.

RE: NX10 next release? When?

I don't have any programs that parse the information window (there are usually better ways to get the needed info), but while modeling, I'll often copy & paste values from the information window (usually the results of a distance or measure bodies command).

www.nxjournaling.com

RE: NX10 next release? When?

This is how I use the information list window also. Cowski I do that a lot also.

RE: NX10 next release? When?

I do no programming at all, but you DO NOT REMOVE the listing window information!
It is one of the things that make NX stand out in the world of computer applications, you can at any time get information about ( almost*) ANYTHING in NX, - Wonderful! -where would i be without it...
- example, Don't you guys hate it in say Microsoft Word/ any software when something gets screwed up, and there is no way of finding information about why or what ?

(* At the moment i am trying to find a report on assembly arrangements, which components are suppressed, which components have moved and to where, but this seems to be missing in NX7.5...

So no intermediate NX 9.5 anymore ?

RE: NX10 next release? When?

I hope not; .5 versions are an idiotic idea that most likely only served very few, albeit very large, customers.

So long .5 and I hope I never see you again.

RE: NX10 next release? When?

Well, that might have been true of NX 7.5 but it was actually the NX 7.0 release which was the one released to serve "very few, albeit very large, customers". NX 7.5 was the official full release. However, in the case of NX 8.0/8.5, this was a totally different situation altogether with BOTH releases being official releases that got full distribution. The primary reason for the NX 8.5 release was so that we would meet our commitment to start delivering ONLY 64-bit versions of NX on ALL platforms starting with NX 9.0, thus allowing us one more full cycle where both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows versions of NX were available to our customers. Granted, this might have been due to a "few, albeit very large, customers" not yet being in a position to move to 64-bit Windows in the timeframe given, but in the end, NX 8.5 was treated as a full release intended for ALL of our customer base.

But your sentiment about hoping that there will never be another NX XX.5 release is widely held by us here at Siemens PLM and to that end, we hope to avoid creating situations in the future where this might be necessary.

Christmas has come early for the NX diehards like hudson888 santa
Work is closed for 2 weeks, so I doubt I'll be poking my head around here.
I hope you all have a great Christmas, happy holidays and a spectacular 2015.

RE: NX10 next release? When?

And to give you all an idea that we're not letting the holidays slow us down much, I just installed the first 'kitted' phase of the first NX 10.0 MR, NX 10.0.1.2.

RE: NX10 next release? When?

As for the licensing issue, since the internal plan stated that NX 10.0 would be available for customer download no earlier than December 23rd, 2014, I suspect that the group responsible for moving the files to the download site and the group responsible for the license generator are just a bit out-of-sync. While it would be nice if the second group caught-up with the first as quickly as possible, technically they didn't need to be ready until Tuesday, so I guess we should give them until then before we consider it as being late. Now as to why the first group moved their date up by a few days, I suspect that perhaps so many people were going to be off next week that they didn't want to delay the 'release' anymore than they needed to.

If you know who to ask nicely and you've been good this year, then it's possible to get your license.

RE: NX10 next release? When?

Haven't yet had time to properly go through the What's New in NX10 (the end of the year has been bloody hectic! thumbsdown ).
Have you introduced the once-mentioned tool "Thread Male"?

RE: NX10 next release? When?

No, the traditional 'Thread' feature has not changed for NX 10.0.
