Quick question for the NX experts. Everyday I start NX, I have to turn on the assemblies module. Is there not a way to turn on a setting somewhere, so that the assemblies module is always on when I start NX? If it makes any difference, our NX is integrated with Teamcenter. Many thanks in...

Thanks very much, that solved the problem :-)

Hi, I am asking this on behalf of a colleague, and was wondering if anyone could help. My colleague is drawing up some very large parts (we are talking squares/cubes in the region of 40000mm), but when using these components in assemblies, he is having real trouble selecting the faces of these...

Super, many thanks Micky!

Hi all, hope this is in the right place. Quick question: Is there an easy way to find all my own checked out parts in teamcenter? Thanks in advance

Many thanks for the latest suggestions (especially to ewh). Layer visibility is now back to normal!

OK I spoke to soon. It seems that there must be something else somewhere that is controlling the visibility of items on hidden layers. Since resetting the 'layer visible in view' option to 'reset to global', it just makes the datum and sketch layers invisible (in the 'visible in view' dialog...

Thanks for the replies to all. For now, it looks like there was a 'visible in view' issue, as resetting to global has made all datums & sketches now disappear, and I can see that their respective layers have not been set to invisible. Thanks jerry1423 :-)

Hi John, Just did a quick test. The option is set to 'Original', and in the small component preview window, I can see that no datums, csys etc are showing. As soon as I place the assembly though, the datums become visible, and cannot be turned off using layer control. I have to use the...

Hi, I am currently working with NX 8.5 at a large company in Denmark. I have used NX for a couple of years, and in that time I have used layers to control the visibility of datums, sketches, surfaces etc. Normally, I would use the standard layer catagories already in NX. Where I am currently...

Hi all, I am currently creating new drawing templates for my company. I have everything completed, except the style of the parts list. Helvetica is the font style that we are using, and all text must also be set to 'thin'. However, when I add an assembly to the drawing, the parts list does two...

Many thanks for the above replies, I know feel a bit more at ease about just using arrangements :-) However, there is one small problem (or maybe a lack of knowledge on my part) with just changing the arrangement type of a sub assembly where I am working... Each arrangement is, where I work, a...

Hi all, I am curious what peoples thoughts/best practicies are when it comes to part families and arrangements. I ask this because I am coming across the following scenario again and again at my current employer... I am using NX 7.5 without teamcenter. If for example an assembly, which comes...

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is possible, but I would love some help from anyone who might know how to help reduce some tedious manual labour in NX 7.5. Currently running without Teamcenter. I work with many assembly models, where arrangements are used to show the different variations of the...

Hi all, thanks for your replies. I tried the suggestions above, but it did not seem to change the behaviour of the parts list. I just created a new drawing and all was well again. But very strange why this happened in the first place... Thanks again!
