    Managing libraries for rendering

    Hi there! Can you please help with rendering project. How are the libraries managed? 1) Render materials library - How to define new folders with my own custom materials? - Is it possible to set this libraries to the server? I guess there should be a variable for setting the path 2) Science...

    PMI, manually change dimension value

    Hi all, I have one question about PMI. I is it possible to manually change dimension value? We would like to put there expression name instead of numerical value. On the drawing we usually remove it by choosing change text, than clicking on dimension value. But that does not seem to work on...

    Rendered image with 3D section

    Hello, I wanted to ask if it is possible in NX to create a rendered image with a 3D section. I made it by making a copy of an assembly and making assembly cut, but id there any other way? - I need to cut only some of components - PMI secton + render does not work - Regular section + render does...

    Routing mechanical, removing extra decimals from length attribute

    Hello everyone! Did some of you face similar problem? I am using NX8.5/TC9.1 - In routing mechanical create a new stock (Stock operation to routing path). (Stock as components is ON in customer defaults) - Right-click the created component and choose properties--attributes - There are two...

    Routing mechanical, using family members as stock

    Hello and thanks for the answer! We are using TeamCenter. Found some temporary walk-around way. Maybe it can help someone: - add a stock master item as a component and select a child - select Stock operation and as stock choose the item in assembly navigator (which is now a correct family...

    Routing mechanical, using family members as stock

    Hi everyone, Do you know if there is any effective way of selecting family members items inside NX? We have different profile contours part families (qualified as routing stock). Master, and each family member is a separate item in TeamCenter. Normally, when adding a master item into an...

    Switching CAD software, pros and cons

    Thanks a lot Thomas. The things you recommend would be very useful when planning the project! John, I checked the documents you provided. This makes the picture of what to expect much clearer when it comes to costs of IT services. However, the main argumentation there is based on the data...

    Switching CAD software, pros and cons

    Hello, Have anyone had an experience in switching to NX from another CAD with a large amount of data to be migrated. The switching would bring to a single CAD environment instead of multiCAD. What are the points needed to be taken in account when making a decision? For example: + No need for...

    Deformable component limits and part family

    Yes! Thanks again. It works. Do you know if it is actually possible to automatically create expression when a component is put into assembly? Or to do check mate for components being on assembly level? In our case we have a large number of reusable deformable parts, the wavelinking is...

    Deformable component limits and part family

    Hi! Can you please help me with one question, I use NX 8.5, TC 9.1 . I am modeling a deformable component based on expression of the component length. Later I define a part family with multiple lengths. Each length can deform to some certain min/max values, which I have as expressions in part...

    Designing a steel structure, what are the ways

    Hi all! Thanks a lot for help! I used the Routing => Platform to make the steel structure. The corners are getting done in the correct way with Assign corner option. Is it possible to cut the "middle" profiles using other profile. I tried to use Assign corner with Cope option, but it seem to...

    Designing a steel structure, what are the ways

    Hello, I am looking for the best way to design a steel structure. It mainly contains profiles, but may also contain steel plates. The sections of the profiles (2D sketches) are to be stored in Teamcenter, they are customized as a part family. Later, they are assigned to some sort of path. The...
