    Can't Select for Assembly Constraints, NX 7.5

    Turns out our default loading criteria has been changed to a lightweight loading. Specifically loading with only the "load interpart data" box fixed it.

    Can't Select for Assembly Constraints, NX 7.5

    OK, so everything was fine in my assembly until I changed the width of a bracket. Some mates broke due to how the assembly was constrained but when I try to fix them with any sort of assembly constraint my cursor will only highlight a body. I can't grab any features to actually mate. Even worse...

    Lap Simulation

    Thanks for the input, I just got a installation number so I can give it a shot. I figure its hard to beat for free so might as well see what it can do. One question. I'm having trouble installing it with windows 7. I go to run the msdinstall and after a bit it comes up and tells me "install not...

    Lap Simulation

    Thanks for the response, That sounds great then. It is nice that a program can do what we want for free. I could probably write my own but I am not the best person on the team to do it and it would be nice to have simulations by the start of the school year so major decisions can get the green...

    Lap Simulation

    I wasn't sure if this should go here or in other topics but I figure you folks must know something about simulation. I am interested in utilizing a lap simulation software for my Formula SAE team. The main use this program would see is to justify decisions and give our team direction. For...

    Max Screw Size Relative to Width

    D'oh, I thought that forum was for machines, not machining. Anyway, after poking around on McMaster for a bit(where most of our orders come from) there doesn't seem to be much advice on edge/end or spacing distances. Even google has failed me. Are there any rules of thumb I should know about...

    Max Screw Size Relative to Width

    So I wasn't sure where to post this. Is there a machining forum? If there is I must have missed it. Anyway, I've found lots of info on the minimum thickness of a material to be tapped but I haven't found anything regarding how wide the material should be. In other words, how much material...

    Macro Looping and If Statement Help

    Thanks so much for the help. For some reason Excel(2003) finds error with: NumRows = UBound(RangeVals) I commented out the line and it does not find any other errors. I'm not quite sure why the line is not working. I get a Run-time error 13 type mismatch. Additionally, would it be possible...

    Macro Looping and If Statement Help

    Still no good. I put the brackets in thinking they would help. I get the same error. I've no idea why this doesn't work. I appreciate your help though.

    Macro Looping and If Statement Help

    Thanks for the help. Whoops, seem like some rookie mistakes although I tried many iterations. Trying your correction now I still get an error 13 Type Mismatch. The code is as follows Sub mac1() For n = 1 To 30 For i = 1 To 30 Cells(i, n).Select If ActiveCell = "#DIV/0!"...

    Macro Looping and If Statement Help

    OK, I am having a lot of trouble utilizing loops and if statements. I have some experience with programming but for some reason writing these macros is killing me. I just want to create a macro that will go through every single cell and check it to see if X is in that cell. If X is in the cell...
