    NX2406 - Flatten and Forming Tool Not Projecting all the points

    We just updated to NX2406. Suddenly we are having two issues with the flatten and forming tool. We make templates by creating linked exteriors of the surfaces we need and linked points of the weld spots we need. Then we flatten the linked exterior faces and simply window around everything to...

    NX2027 - Is there a fix or is this a Glitch

    I will try to explain this.... All the robots that weld automotive products together need to be taught where to weld. How to turn the weldguns to get in between tooling and such to reach the right place to weld. The people who teach them need to know where the weld spots are going to be, to...

    NX2027 - Is there a fix or is this a Glitch

    We are sometimes having an issue where we can extract edges in modeling, and then do a "Save View As". Then when we place the new view in drafting all of the lines disappear. To get them to show up in the drafting view, we have to go back to modeling and select all the lines, and cut and paste...

    Model Items Selectable in Drafting View?

    Please forget this post now. We figured out how to fix it and believe the issue is something different. I will create a new post about the actual issue at hand now.

    Model Items Selectable in Drafting View?

    In case this helps. I just went into settings for one of the views that select everything. Then I inherited the settings from one of the views that do not select everything. This did not have any effect. So I dont believe it is a setting.

    Model Items Selectable in Drafting View?

    I just realized I never put my NX level. We are using what appears to be NX2027?

    Model Items Selectable in Drafting View?

    I dont see that option.

    Model Items Selectable in Drafting View?

    We create templates in Modeling and save the views. We then place the view in a drafting sheet. Typically if you window around a view, it will only highlight notes and curves you created in the drafting view but not the modeling. If you expand in and try to delete a curve created in modeling...

    Has anyone attempted to use Animation Designer and Part Families on the same file?

    I have only recently learned about this issue because I dont have anything to do with Animation Designer. In talking to Alex and others here at work, I was a little surprised nobody has offered any thoughts on this. So I figured I would try to explain the issue in different words based on my...

    Request for addition to future NX

    Thanks for the reply. I have found ways around it, like taking a snippet of the tree and marking on that as I go and stuff like that. But being able to color the tree would IMO just add another level to helping organize as you work. I would just really like to see that happen. Ken...

    Request for addition to future NX

    I have no idea how to open a ticket or make an official request to have something added to NX, so if someone else does and you like this idea, please add one. lol Numerous times now I have wished I could have the ability to add color to the files in the part navigator tree. Currently, I am...

    nx2306 - Family Parts _issues

    So in digging in, I think I found the issue. The Family Part has two bodies inside it. Both are created by sketches. I found if I eliminate the sketches and have just solid bodies, I can create family members. Unfortunately I am being told currently that the customer requires sketches. This...

    NX2027 - Toolbars Question

    When I hit CTRL+1 (Customize) and then go to the Tabs/Bars tab. It lists all the toolbars. Some of these have (Custom) after them. My belief was that these are toolbars created right there in that computer. These are not reading from our Startup menu. However, I was looking for what toolbar...

    NX 2027 - Import points from excel with attributes?

    Thanks cowski. I am going to try that code out. I was hoping there was just a way to do it inside NX. Doesnt seem like there is. This might do what we need. If not, we have a guy who does coding for us now who might be able to adjust it to fit what we need. Luckily he is doing stuff for our...
