    NX Flat pattern generation discontinuity.

    In response to Cowski: We make flat patterns of flat and formed parts, and in this case the issue was with an already flat part, the solid model doesn't have any apparent problems. We brought this issue up with the company that we get support from and they said that it was not an issue, despite...

    NX Flat pattern generation discontinuity.

    This is a very rare occurrence, but every once in a while, we will create a flat pattern out of NX Sheet metal (NX 10, currently), that will have discontinuities in the profile of the part. Our nesting software is unable to cope with these discontinuities without manipulating the flat pattern...

    Assembly features: tapped holes

    I'm trying to apply tapped holes to an assembly and I keep getting a "feature failed to regenerate" error. I'm relatively new to pro/e creo so I might not be using the right terms when searching for the answer. I need to put these tapped holes at the assembly level because they need to relate...

    NX Journal for importing CGMS and exporting pdfs.

    I got it working, but it seems that I can't pass it a file on a network drive for some reason. I even tried using the cgm2pdf manually through a command prompt. Local folders work fine, local folders with spaces in the names works fine as well. It's odd.

    NX Journal for importing CGMS and exporting pdfs.

    Actually, with this there's no need for a journal at all, it can totally be done without running NX. Awesome.

    NX Journal for importing CGMS and exporting pdfs.

    /facepalm This will eliminate miles of code. Thanks!! By the way, I saw that website when searching for an answer. I wondered if it was brand new. It looks great.

    NX Journal for importing CGMS and exporting pdfs.

    I'm writing a Journal that will import cgm files and export a pdf of the cgm. I'm using NX6 with the vb language for journals. I say nx6, but I run into the same problem in nx8. First I recorded a journal where I create a new model file, go into drafting (thus creating a dummy blank sheet that...

    Drafting NX7.5 Image (company logo) within pattern

    If you need to change sheet size, can't you just do file>import>part and import the correct template file?

    NX VB Journal Reference Dimensions

    Yeah, but this is part of a bigger project, you gave me what I was looking for, thank you so much.

    NX VB Journal Reference Dimensions

    I take back the counting thing. The number grabbed by dimnums is 100% correct and includes the reference dimensions. I was counting the out of sketch dimensions (chamfer sizes, extrude distance).

    NX VB Journal Reference Dimensions

    Cool, I ran your code with the line uncommented out that displayed what numdims was grabbing and it says the same thing as mine, so it shows that I can't use numdims as an index number when cycling through all the dimensions, your way is better for that, but it shows that I'm on the right track...

    NX VB Journal Reference Dimensions

    I was in the middle of writing about my disappointment in this only grabbing driving dimensions from the sketch, but.. it only grabs driving dimensions from the sketch! So I can compare the list this gets me to the list I get from the expressions to determine which dimensions are reference. The...

    NX VB Journal Reference Dimensions

    For the driving dimensions I was using this: newarray = workpart.Expressions.ToArray() Dim expindex As Integer = newarray.Length-1 ReDim dimexpression(expindex) Dim exparms(expindex) Dim k As Integer For k = 0 To expindex...

    PLIST_IGNORE_MEMBER or PLIST_IGNORE_SUBASSEMBLY

    If you're allowed to, once you have these reuse subassemblies in possition you can yank the components out (dropping them into the top level assembly) and get rid of the subassembly (without saving the subassembly of course), that would allow you to use the "show top level only" option without...

    PLIST_IGNORE_MEMBER or PLIST_IGNORE_SUBASSEMBLY

    Does your machine drawing have subassemblies that you only want the subcomponents showing up in the parts list? If not, in the first picture you see the levels settings for the parts list, I'm betting you'll get what you want if you select the "show top levels only" option.
