    Deformed Rivet = square peg with a round hole

    EEX23, Deforming the straight line into an arc is my square peg in a round hole.... the only way I could see this working is possibly through law curves but for what its worth I don't have the time to figure it out. I'm just going to create another part that has the deform shape in it.

    Deformed Rivet = square peg with a round hole

    Has any one found a way to create a rivet that can be deformed into a mushroom shape? It could be the weather this morning but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to constrain/control the sketch that is flat in the purchased form into a part that is mushroom shaped. It feels like I'm trying...

    NX 7.5 Any way to places views of a model at different time-stamps on drawing

    Tomas, Good read... that is exactly what I'm doing . We actually implemented the technique you mentioned first but we ran into issues with releasing the individual operation files (we use teamcenter and only have the basic wave license). So lets say when you have 10 ops and all are released but...

    NX 7.5 Any way to places views of a model at different time-stamps on drawing

    I realized that the extracted bodies are making my file huge and not the ref sets, but this situation also causes for a large number or reference sets. It would be nice if I could have the option of time stamp along with ref sets and arrangements when choosing how to display my components . ER =...

    NX 7.5 Any way to places views of a model at different time-stamps on drawing

    I think I know the answer = no..... but just wondering is there any way to places views of a model at different time-stamps on drawing or into an assembly? Kinda like reference sets but with time stamps of the same body? Currently the only way I found to do this to take extracted bodies and...

    Feature Groups and timestamp oreder?? NX7.5

    Might have made changes in 8 but still no documentation on what making the group active actually does... got some feedback from GTAC and they shared the 8.5 docs with me but I still does not explain what happens with the time stamp order and or why the time stamp order just goes random depending...

    Feature Groups and timestamp oreder?? NX7.5

    My self and others in my group have been experiencing some unexpected things with feature groups and time stamp order.... Sometime when going back and making the feature group active to make some changes or additions to the group we noticed when upon making it inactive members of the feature...

    UGmaster/UGpart check in NXopen vb.net

    Is there a way to check if the file is a UGmaster or a UGpart in NXopen vb.net (NX7.5)? Reason being is that I created a quick program that runs off the part callbacks (Save, SaveAs) that will populate attributes but I only want them created in the UGmaster. (They then get mapped to the...
