    Creasing/cross-breaking sheetmetal parts?

    I think you'll have to do it in Solid Modelling rather than sheetmetal with the flat pattern being purely the projection of the perimeter. Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - PENSO Consulting Ltd

    Curious problem with Circular Flat Patterns (NX8.5)

    Carl, Im sure we discussed a few years about putting reference X&Y lines in the sketch in order to utilise the 'move to absolute' option on circular parts, you should be able to move them even if they are originally drawn at absolute. Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - PENSO Consulting Ltd

    How to model a freeform spherical structure?

    Sorry Im not on NX at my current assignment but im sure someone else will be able to help, there are more than a few ways to get whats your looking for. Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - PENSO Consulting Ltd

    Question on how to create part family O-Ring

    Create a part family master with both nominal size and installed size reference sets. You can carry both these reference sets over into the part family members and control the sizes via the expressions in the part family spreadsheet. Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - PENSO Consulting Ltd

    Face Name

    Why not skip a step and have the body inherit the colour of the trimming face directly? Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - PENSO Consulting Ltd

    How to model a freeform spherical structure?

    create a sphere, extract the surface of the sphere Draw a lattice of curves on the extracted sphere sheet body offset each curve in face symmetrically (so you get an offset curve either side of the original) trim the sheet body sphere to the offset curves, selecting the regions to be...

    CATIA Equivalent to Seed and Boundary Select?

    I don't think you can select them , CATIA seems to operate differently to other CAD systems in that there aren't many options for selecting, most of this is done using extract functions. You could extract using tangent propagation but its no the same as the see/boundary method used by Pro/E and...

    NX7.5 'Save as' to an existing part number

    Yes im not at AML anymore, in back on CATIA, need to change my signature. Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - Aston Martin NX8.5

    working with big assemblies

    Many companies use NX for assemblies with 1000's of parts without issue, for example aircraft, cars, ships etc. I think the answer lies in a PLM solution which would allow you to configure the product structure before you even load it into the CAD environment. If you don't use PLM then component...

    working with big assemblies

    I would have thought a reasonable solution could be found using Arrangements, Variants or Part families. Do you use Teamcenter or any PLM system? Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - Aston Martin NX8.5

    NX7.5 'Save as' to an existing part number

    Cant you save to a new revision of the existing number? Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - Aston Martin NX8.5

    Studio Spline -NX8.5

    I thought you could just move them up and down in the little dialog box? Alternatively create a new spline on top of the old one with your selection intent set to 'control points', then replace the feature. Khimani Mohiki Design Engineer - Aston Martin NX8.5
