    Conic Rho value in a sketch

    Does any body know of a way to use an expression to change the rho value of a conic in a sketch? I have a series of sketches, each consisting of guidelines and a conic, and each of these conics is used to form a surface. I have another control sketch that creates different rho values at...

    Flat pattern annotation

    thread561-314794 Following on from the above post I can get the flat pattern annotations to display the single label with three callouts on the flat pattern view in the model but when I add a flat pattern view in the drawing file it has three separate labels with the three separate callouts...

    Xpress review Manual

    Does anyone know of a manual on how to use Xpress Review? Its a great little program but when a client (who doesn't use NX) is on the other side of the world it can be difficult for them to pick up how to use it fully. I can find nothing anywhere [sad] Thanks Munners

    Assembly sequence using constraints?

    Hi John Maybe its 7.5.4.4 as opposed to 7.5.5.4? I'll try the update Thanks for your help Munners

    Assembly sequence using constraints?

    Hi John Thanks for the help. Just to make sure I understand, you added the arrangement called 'Movable' because it does NOT ignore constraints? And the 'pin' component was added so that you have better control over the assembly, i.e. you can simply re-position that component and the other...

    Assembly sequence using constraints?

    Thanks John I understand what you are saying but cannot get the sequence to run correctly. I have made sure that Assembly constraints are on in the Sequence Navigator but still have the same problem. I have attached the assembly and a movie to show what i am experiencing. In modelling, the...

    Assembly sequence using constraints?

    Hi guys When doing an assembly sequence, is there a way to access either an existing arrangement or position a component using assembly constraints? Neither of these commands seem to be available when in the sequence toolbar? Using NX 7.5 Thanks Munners

    Material display in parent assembly

    Hi guys Using NX 7.5, I have built an assembly (call it assembly A) and applied materials to the all the components. If I do a studio display of Assembly A it all looks good with various colours, translucency etc. and I can produce a high quality image. I then added this to another assembly...

    Problem with Cache Activation

    Hi We work on large assemblies and so work with the cache system on. We also work with "Load Referenced documents" switched off and only load the components as needed. Being a large assembly, there are Catproducts with other Catproducts as components. When one of these component Catproducts is...
