    Speakerphone Etiquette

    People don't know exactly how loud they are, so give them a way to measure it. Use a decibel meter or record them. Call it a Team Building exercise. Ha! Have everyone do it so no one is singled out.

    Is there a way to have searchable or "Smart" PDF NX Drawings

    It works for me in 7.5 and 9.0 using those settings, then opening in Acrobat and searching.

    BOM View Dataset (Assembly Structure)

    You can keep them out of the NX parts list by assigning an attribute to those components in an assembly in NX. Select component(s) in ANT that you want to not show, right click, properties>attribues> then enter one or both of these in the TITLE field: PLIST_IGNORE_MEMBER...

    Part Family Questions

    We don't make assemblies families using embedded families any more because of those problems. Too many loading, opening and updating problems and errors that never go away. It's been too many years to recall more details, except that I rue the day I ever set those nested families up. So my best...

    Selection Highlight and quick pick menu in 64Bit machine

    We found out that if you move the screen (using spaceball) while you're selecting, highlighting will show. We are trying to find out if this is specific to Win 7 with 7.5.4.4.

    How to tell if parts have been refiled?

    Is there a way to tell if parts have been refiled during previous upgrades? Should there be a clue in the part history?

    "Out of Memory"

    We are running Win7 64bit and still get out of memory errors on assemblies of about 400 components (file sizes of 50Mb-125Mb). Doubling the RAM and paging file size didn't help. The hard drive has 50GB of free space. When the task manager shows the peak working memory is approaching 3gig, we...

    NX5 Spellchecker journal

    I guess either way I would have to add all the drafting and user defined symbol code to the Word spell check library. And I could create Word toolbars to insert the codes with the click of a button so I wouldn't have to type it each time. Nah! It's a good thing I can spell. It's the typing that...

    NX5 Spellchecker journal

    There are assorted files and a readme in the folder where NX is installed to give you more information. Mine is in ...ugs050\UGOPEN\SampleNXOpenApplications\.NET\SpellChecker It looks pretty promising. Has anyone set this up? If so, does it work as expected? I assume you have to add all the...

    "Check in the load options, for allow substitution to be ON." It was OFF, now is ON. No change. "Were you running Teamcenter before the updgrade? Same version, same settings?" Yes, they say nothing changed and we've been running this version for a few years. "Are you now opening assemblies...

    Part family invalid names after upgrade

    We just upgraded from NX2 to NX5.0.3 and are (still) using Teamcenter Engineering V9.1.3.8. When we try to update part, create part, or even just save family, we get this error: Ivalid member name. The following member names are invalid 4485001-001 o-ring-Parker-5-180 (These are two of the...

    Customising the Material Database

    I did find out that if I set the customer default "Gateway>General>Update material properties from library on part load" to yes, and if I renumbered the materials in the library, that I will get a message while working in the part that the assigned material properties have changed, do I want to...

    Customising the Material Database

    I found in NX2 that it didn't like having spaces in the names, and that it was limited to a certain amount of characters (31 is too long). John, If I insert new materials in the middle of the list such that the libref number for Brass, for example, changes from 26 to 27, will I be creating a...
