    post builder : editing expressions for system words

    Joycejo, Thanks again for your reply. Yes, I did indeed do what you were saying (making custom variables), however in the old post I am working with there are no custom ones, only edited ones. The post was made on an old version of PB from NX 2, this could be why, anyway I stayed away from...

    post builder : editing expressions for system words

    Hi all, I figured that editing the system variables was probably a bad idea and this is probably what was done, so I just added a bunch of custom ones. Thanks for looking and if I am wrong please inform me.

    post builder : editing expressions for system words

    Hello all, I just came back from UG PB training, and I have a question about editing the expressions for the system words. I know it is possible to do because the former person who was in charge of building posts at our company has done it, however I was unsure if it is possible to do within...

    Default tolerence for global NX modeling

    John, Thanks for your reply. The second method you gave me does globally set the tolerance within the part, however the first method (which I would like the most) about setting the default in customer defaults does not appear to be working. With setting it in customer defaults, when I make a...

    Default tolerence for global NX modeling

    Hi, I was just wondering if anybody knew how to set the standard tolerance in NX 7.5 for tools such as (but not limited to) projecting curves, making chamfers, and section curves. Normally these tools default to .001 but I would like to make it at least .0001. Right now I am manually...

    NX 7.5 add features to role (full menus)

    John, That is not the issue. If I go to view --> operation, I only see the first set of menus ( refresh, fit..etc) , the rest will not show up (even after enabling full menus). There is no arrow or anything, advanced commands are unable to be picked at this role. On another role (advanced...

    NX 7.5 add features to role (full menus)

    Hi, I am having a weird issue on my machine which I am not sure is normal. I spent a lot of time setting up my toolbar layout, and after noticed that I do not have full menus, or even the drop down to pick from full menus (like I was under some very limited role). I switched my role from what...

    UG nx 7.5.5.4 Cannot delete components out of assemblies

    I contacted GTAC and they solved the problem. Under preferences --> user interface --> general select "Reset Dont display this message again" and Reset dialog box settings. Hit okay and everything works.

    UG nx 7.5.5.4 Cannot delete components out of assemblies

    John: I said that I had the problem before we upgraded, and upgrading did not fix the problem. Is there any settings that may have been turned on that blocks someone from deleting parts out of assemblies? All that happens when I press delete is that the status bar at the top of the screen says...

    UG nx 7.5.5.4 Cannot delete components out of assemblies

    Hi, I was just wondering if anyone has had this problem happen to them. When I try to delete components out of assemblies, either by right clicking the name in the file tree or clicking on the component itself it does not delete. It does not ask me anything like "Are you sure you want to delete...

    Thread callout in NX6 extra space.

    Ben: I meant that in NX 7.5 it still does TWO spaces after so it looks like "1/4-20 UNC-2B". I had to manually correct the XML file as 4gts stated (which worked well).I was just confused because it has been this way since NX 6, NX 4 is the last version that we had that did not have two...

    Thread callout in NX6 extra space.

    John: We are running NX 7.5.0.32 and it still does the space after the thread callout and UNC. Is there a newer version of 7.5 that this has been fixed? -Mike

    editing INH directory file to make thread callouts decimal instead of fractional NX 7.5

    We concurrently use UNJ threads when applicable. I work for an aerospace company that deals with both UNJ threads and also UNC on a daily basis. However, on our biggest customers part prints even when it is UNC the diameter is called out in decimal form, therefore we like the operation sheets we...

    editing INH directory file to make thread callouts decimal instead of fractional NX 7.5

    I figured this out on my own... I'm not sure if it is the correct way to do this but under \UGS\NX 7.5\UGII\modeling_standards there is a file called "NX502_threaded_hole_standards.xml" that if you open in notepad and find and replace all the fractions such as "5/16-18 UNC-2B" and replace it...

    editing INH directory file to make thread callouts decimal instead of fractional NX 7.5

    After reading through a few more posts I have come to the conclusion that this is not directly possible to do? It seems like the files in INH can take care of most problems except for the fraction to decimal issue I am running into. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks, Mike
