NX Dimensions not Parametising Correctly
NX Dimensions not Parametising Correctly
(OP)
Dear eng-tips,
I have been trying to create parameters from sketches. (Drawing lines and adding a rapid dimension to define lengths.
Regardless of whether I use the default pXXX or rename the parameter (e.g L1), NX is not generating the formulae correctly.
If I open Tools>Expressions and set the listed expressions filter to 'All' my values appear in the list. However, if I view these parameters in Spreadsheet Edit it is clear to see that no formula is linked! (THE CELLS IN COLOUMN B ARE NOT GREEN & CANNOT BE SELECTED FOR USE IN OTHER PARAMETERS)
Could someone please tell me if I there is a parameter setting somewhere that I have turned off?
Kind Regards,
Chris Swain

Its NX 9.0.3.4 MP11
The same version that you are using Tim!
RE: NX Dimensions not Parametising Correctly
Can you post an example of a formula that you are trying to create? What were the exact steps you used in your attempt to create the formula?
Did the same workflow give different results in a previous version of NX?

RE: NX Dimensions not Parametising Correctly
Turns out that the problem was in the fact that I had converted from mm to inches in the original parameter.
If there is a formula within the original parameter then the parameter does not generate correctly.
(E.g. 0.5/25.4) equals 0.5mm in inches.
I fixed the problem by changing the sketch units to mm instead.
This can be done in Analysis> Units Custom> Unit Manager
