    Listing of Current Users

    Hello All, I am wondering if there is a way for a standard user to see who is currently using licenses. We currently have more users than licenses and are beginning to run into users hoarding a license first thing in the morning, keeping NX up all day, etc, etc. I want to be able to give...

    Move Object - Dynamic - NX8.0.0

    It is selected. I made sure I hit that multiple times in various tries thinking the same thing. When I right click on the sphere a small window pops up and with a couple options, but nothing happens when selected. See attachment for a screenshot. What version are you running? Thanks for...

    Move Object - Dynamic - NX8.0.0

    Hello, Referencing below thread...... Move Object in NX8.0.0.25, I can't seem to find "Snap handles to WCS" during dynamic positioning. What the cube was in the referenced thread is a sphere now and a mouse over tip pops up "Translate Origin". I see no reference or option to re-orient the...

    Remove excess material in IPW.

    The picture you see is at the end of a toolpath visualization. At that point, before selecting OK or cancel (which removes the render/visualization), the selection bar filters are grayed out. Nothing to pick, I did try though. Dovetail question: I chose the option to "Save as component" of...

    Remove excess material in IPW.

    Hello All, When machining and there is a significant piece of material that is left after getting effectively "cut off" by an end mill, the IPW rightfully shows the separated pieces. In the following operation, I have been using trim boundaries to avoid these excess chunks. However I...

    Create fit spline.

    HI, I am looking to create a fit spline from many non-contiguous curves. Background: A pencil tracing of a simple shape (think outline of a horseshoe)is scanned to PDF. The PDF is run through a raster to vector software to DXF. The DXF is imported into NX 7.5. The result is a set of...

    Adv Sim Export Path Default

    NX 7.5 - Advanced Simulation - When exporting the bulk.dat file, the default output path from the install is the UGII_BASE_DIR and not the working directory that the prt, fem and sim files are saved to. Anybody have any ideas how/where to set this to another dir?

    Export Simulation Output Path Default

    I am trying to use automate the export of the bulk.dat file using a macro/journal. The default output path in my configuration is the UGII_BASE_DIR and not the working directory that the part, fem and sim files are saved to. I didn't see a item for that in the ugii_env.dat file. Anybody have...

    how to export mesh from NX?

    In the Solve dialog, change the dropdown box to "Export Solver Input File". I disable the "Comprehensive Check" and hit OK. A "Scenario1_Solution1.dat" file is created in the subdirectory. I typically do a windows rename of that file to a ".nas" extension and pull it into MSC/Mentat. Kevin

    Transfer program order group name to postprocessor.

    Worked perfect! I see now how the customizations in the post link back to the part file attribute info. Just the nudge I needed. Thanks very much. kevklem

    Transfer program order group name to postprocessor.

    Hello, Is there a way to transfer the Program Order Group Name to Postbuilder? Ex. I have named the group O11234, which is what the first line of the posted file wants to be for the machine. I currently have a manual block of "O00001" which I have to edit every time to a new number. Or even...
