Hi All, For washers and similar parts, the mate references that is generated when one selects the an edge of a washer as a mate reference - Coincident&Concentric is useful. It provides me with both the coincident and the concentric constraint in one. I enjoy working with parts that has this...

Have you tried just constraining the one end that doesn't have the forces on it and applying the loads on the other end? I don't know if its exactly what you're trying to do, but it could provide some insight as to what is going on - and you refine it from there. -Frank

I don't suppose anyone out there has done a completely custom POST for punching sheet metal?

Are you looking to export a .jt file? This type of file is a lightweight 3D version of your model that requires the seperate JT viewer - JT2GO. You can pan, rotate, zoom and turn components on and off.

John, Thanks for the speedy reply as always. Do you have eng-tips forums forwarded to your blackberry or something? Unfortunately, all the parts that I would like to add this view to are already created. So for future parts approach #1 would work fine, but not for this particular case. I'll...

fmr110 (Mechanical) Aug 9, 2010 Running NX 6.0.2.85 and Teamcenter V 10.0.3.8.6 I'm not sure if this is possible - it would be extremly useful though. I'd like to start from an Isometric view of my part, rotate it 90' about the x-axis, and save that view so that for ANY assmebly I pull up...

What version of I-deas? Are they package files? Do you have NX? I can help you, if you still need it.

Didn't I hear something somewhere on these forums about NX not running well on Windows 7? I'd be curious to see if there was any difference if you ran it in WINXP.

Thanks John. Thats exactly what I was looking for. Does Siemens have any documentation about how to code a post processor in this situation? Thanks, Frank

Thanks for the response Hudson. I can't imagine that everyone manually codes their sheet metal punch press now... Do they? :-)

So does anybody use NX6 CAD data to punch out sheet metal parts at all?

Hello, I'm trying to integrate NX6 with our manufacturing department here. I'm having trouble finding documentation relating to punching out sheet metal parts. Does anyone here use NX6 to generate code for punched out sheet metal parts? Is it possible to develop an NX6 post processor for...

I learned the same way as Satchmo. Record macros and study them carefully as you record them. Also try googling what you need to do.. I'm pretty sure everything you need to know is free on the internet already.

This might help... If you go to <Preferences> -> <JT> Click <Modify Configuration> You end up with a box that has your JT settings. If you play with these settings - you might find what you're looking for. Specifically the "Organize JT Files" setting. I think you want it to be set to...

Hello I'm trying to edit the attributes of parts in an assembly using excel. I right click in the assembly navigtator and say "Export To Spreadsheet". After modifying values I hit "Save/Update/Ctrl+S" and close excel to return to NX6. Nothing changes. Specifically i'm trying to edit the...
