    error in NX siemens

    Hi @sakthi1234567890 ! When the Sketch was first created, it starts by asking user to select a plane to sketch on, and optionally, and a vector to orient the X axis. If the plane or vector is modified to move to a new location, the Sketch is associative, and will move with it. In this case, it...

    NX implicit modeling

    Hi Bubbak! If you get a chance, check out the interview with the PM, which includes some slides and demo footage of it being used. https://blogs.sw.siemens.com/nx-design/video-interview-implicit-modeling/ The initial target is designers for Additive Manufacturing. Some of the built-ins...

    TDI Wizard on Win10 - How to manually configure files without running TDI Wizard?

    @Rothers: I was not aware there was a Borrow Freeze problem with I-deas 6.7. I saw a report that there was such an issue in NX that was resolved in the NX 1872 Series - September 2019 Update (NX 1884): If the reported NX problem was due to an issue in the FlexLM libs, then it could also have...

    NX freezes with borrow license

    Hi @Pella30! As @Toost said, this was reported fixed in 1884 and you said you are using NX 1919, so you should not be seeing the issue you pointed to nor would the issue be with your license file. However, there is one possible relation to your license file. It used to be that the "borrow"...

    What's the latest and greatest I-DEAS to Solidworks converters?

    Hi @bjlasota! As far as I know (after using I-deas for 35 years), there are no translators from either Siemens or 3rd parties, that can pull data from I-deas files directly (i.e. without owning I-deas). The reason is that I-deas files do not store "geometry" in many cases. Some of the data is...

    TDI Wizard on Win10 - How to manually configure files without running TDI Wizard?

    Hi guys! Old post, but I only check these once a quarter or so since there is so little traffic on I-deas these days. Most of the users I work with are in your boat, especially since Win 7 ended in Jan. 2020, with needing to move I-deas to a Win 10 machine. Siemens did not officially test or...

    Modify a journal that run in native mode. So to be run also in manager Mode.

    I'm not going to try debug your existing program, because I'm probably not the right one to do that, but I did create a program a long time back (NX 5/2010 - forget which Tc we used) that was used to do certain verifications of Managed data. When I tested the program, however, I ran it in...

    Unhandled exception encountered in callback automation code

    Happy to hear it's working for you. I don't do much programming, nor do I know what the rest of our code does, but from looking at the 2nd check you are doing, as you are checking for a string attribute, which happens to be "1", just wondering if the attribute might be getting processed as an...

    Unhandled exception encountered in callback automation code

    Hi @Ehaviv! I can't answer why you see the exception, but the question of "or vs. orElse" is a general programming Q that can be found on-line. In short, orElse is a "short circuit" version of the "or" checck, meaning that as soon as it finds an expression that is True, it jumps out and does...

    Old Ideas NX 5 installation - P2V getting internal security error -92

    Hi Tom! If I understand correctly, you moved everything to a new VM that uses the original MAC? Unfortunately, that is not going to work as you are trying it. The FlexLM server does not rely just on the MAC ID. It uses the Composite ID (CID), which is unique, even for VM's. The old days...

    thread577-426585 Does anyone man

    NX I-deas is officially certified and supported on Windows 10 starting last year with the release of NX I-deas 6.6. In fact, that was the main reason for that Release. See SFB-IDEAS-11239 for more details. During testing, we found some issues where some commands, scriptings, and such required...

    Large assemblies CATIA VS NX

    With CATIA, large assemblies are often represented in part, or in whole, with CGR files. Which is something like your "inconvenient tricks like facet bodies", so you might not want to discount that approach too quickly. Comparing to I-deas, the impact is likely that the data is stored locally...

    Rotate PMI Views by Expression?

    Jim: A few thoughts to try... If you create a Datum on the face, using a construction technique like 2-Curves, one of which is from your "arm", then the Datum will be aligned along it. You can then create your View using "Infer" and pick the datum and it will line-up (no need to even use the...

    PMI Dimension

    I don't have access to 8.5 to remember what was possible, but one thought I've used is to create a Measure along the dimension direction to get an Expression that can be used elsewhere (assuming you are looking for an out-bound link). Pat

    Changing Server for TDM Ideas 5M3

    Hi Carlos! Hopefully you've already solved this, but in case, here's my thoughts...(going by memory, so if you are still have issues, let me know and I'll have to dig out my old notes). The Best Practice for TDM was to put it on a mapped drive, usually T: (Q: in your case). When/if you ever...
