    UnRelease

    The way we have it setup in TC8.3.1 is we have a workflow with only the add status task. In the handlers under the Complete section we have a "set-status" action handler with the argument "DELETE" and that seems to work for us [see attached screenshot]. Not sure if it works the same in your...

    Journal to Add Bolts Automatically In Assembly???

    I had some Fastener Assemblies setup in NX 7.5 at one point and it works basically exactly as you stated in your OP. The files you need to modify/customize are located in %UGII_BASE_DIR%\NXPARTS\Reuse Library. This is the location in NX 8.03 but should be similar for other versions. Basically...

    I-deas and NX 9.0

    We are in the process of migrating our I-deas data from I-deas 6.1m1 into NX8.03. The only real way to get part history is to use the Content Migration Manager tool. It does have a mode that works outside of Teamcenter per the documentation but I don't think it's recommended (called CMM-Solo)...

    NX/TC Attribute Integration

    The reason that the bidirectional attributes don't work is that the item revision is not checked out in the implicit checkout from NX when you open a part(from my understanding) only the UGMASTER or UGPART and it's bom view revision are checked out. This means that you do not have permission to...

    scaling a sketch

    If this is in modeling the Transform command might do what you need (it's an older command, depending on which version of NX you are using you might have to use the command finder to find it). If it's in drafting then create a symbol from it and then you can scale it each time you insert it into...

    Custom symbols problem in NX7.5

    That looks like the dialog to define the custom symbol. The option I was mentioning is for the dialog when placing it. Daniel Sikes Design Engineer Young Touchstone NX 8.0.3.4

    Custom symbols problem in NX7.5

    Can you attach a screenshot of the dialog box when inserting these symbols? I don't have NX 7.5 available to me at the moment to check if the options are in that menu or not. Daniel Sikes Design Engineer Young Touchstone NX 8.0.3.4

    Custom symbols problem in NX7.5

    Check the settings section at the bottom of the menu when inserting your symbols and make sure the annotation preferences is set to use definition instead of use current. That should make sure that the text size matches the size it was set to when the symbol was created. Daniel Sikes Design...

    Macros vs. Journal in NX8.5

    See attached for an example of how to have nested menus using the menuscript. This is from the NXCustom set of files that I downloaded from the Siemens community forums here. This may not be exactly what you are looking for but hopefully it's useful. I think there is a way to add icons to them...

    NX9 - How do you make hole depth callouts associative?

    Could try Insert -> Dimension -> Feature Parameters and see if that gets what you need. It has a specific format that is uses though so it may not match your standards. (I'm not on NX 9 so I'm not sure if the command works the same) Daniel Sikes Design Engineer Young Touchstone NX 8.0.3.4

    <W@$H_PART_NAME>, etc not working in Nx8.5

    Your best bet now would probably be to contact GTAC. Daniel Sikes Design Engineer Young Touchstone NX 8.0.3.4

    <W@$H_PART_NAME>, etc not working in Nx8.5

    I just tried all of them in NX 8.5.0.23 and they all seemed to work. What is the full version of your NX? (Help -> About NX) My guess is you may need to install the most recent maintenance pack and that could fix your issue. Daniel Sikes Design Engineer Young Touchstone NX 8.0.3.4

    <W@$H_PART_NAME>, etc not working in Nx8.5

    Nick66: For the sheet attributes make sure you have them formatted correctly, here some of them are taken from a post by JohnRBaker from this thread Custom drawing title blocks <W@$SH_SHEET_NUMBER> Sheet number of the current sheet <W@$SH_NUMBER_OF_SHEETS> Number of sheets in the...

    Macros vs. Journal in NX8.5

    This is how I call out journal files. Toolbar File (.tbr) BUTTON <B1> LABEL <Label> ACTION <Path to journal file> Menuscript File (.men) BUTTON <B1> LABEL <Label> MESSAGE <Description of button> ACTIONS <Path to journal file> Just replace what's in the <> with whatever you need and do not...

    Is it Possible to Edit Family Parts in Team Center

    One suggestion would be to duplicate the drafting onto a separate drawing file dataset inside the same TC item that uses views from the family member part. That's more of a workaround than a solution though since the drafting wouldn't necessarily update if the part family is updated from the...
