    Standard Practice for Drafting in NX

    In NX, I can make drawing of a part file in two ways. One is to switch to the drafting environment in the same file and start making drawing. Another is to make a new drawing file and start making drawing. Why there is two way? Which one is used in standard practice? Is there any use cases for...

    Exploded view from several assemblies to a single drawing file

    Let say, I have a part A and I have made drawing of this part. I have several assemblies B, C, D.... and all of them has exploded view within themselves. Now I want to bring those exploded view in the drawing file that I made earlier. How to do that? Note that when I place the exploded view of...

    Siemens NX Center Constraint

    In siemens NX's center constraint, I can set two faces of a body two be in the center of two faces of another body. But these constraints only work if the faces are all parallel. You can check my previous thread here to understand the issue-...

    Checking parallel or Perpendicular face

    How to check whether two faces are parallel or perpendicular in siemens NX? Note that by measure tool angle between two faces can be measured. But does that angle 0 degree or 90 degree ensures parallelism or perpendicularity in NX? For example, in solidworks if two faces are parallel or...

    Center Constraint

    I want to make a component to be in the center of another component. But the center constraint doesn't work. The constraint become pink in color and shows error. I have used 2 to 2 center constraint where I selected 2 faces from component1 and another 2 faces from component2. Note that the...

    Plane through two points and perpendicular to a plane

    Hi 3D Dave, I understood your point. But what I wanted is if there any direct way to make the plane. In Solidworks it can be done directly. Therefore I thought there should be a easy direct way to do that in NX.

    Plane through two points and perpendicular to a plane

    Is there any direct way to make a plane in NX that will go through two points and will be perpendicular to a plane? Check the following picture-

    Idea for Renaming a NX file from Windows

    The above mentioned thread was removed. I don't know why. I am providing the Github link of "Rename NX File" program here. Please check it out. This may help you. Rename NX File

    Finding out or Grouping the NX Assembly files and Part files in Windows

    We know that how important it is to separate the part, Assembly and Drawing files specially when there are tons of design files. As all the Siemens NX files have the same .prt extension, it is very difficult to sort out NX files by the file name or file extension. Unfortunately, over the...

    Idea for Renaming a NX file from Windows

    Renaming a NX file is really difficult. Where as it is very is to rename a solidworks file from Windows. You can right click on a solidworks file then rename the file solidworks conext menu (See the picture below). If you rename through this process every part, assembly and drawing file...

    "Isolate Body" command for Siemens NX

    Hi Jerry, This is exactly what I was saying in my previous comment. "You have to either unhide all the bodies at once or unhide the intended bodies one by one." The commands you mentioned in the screenshot unhides the all the bodies or a class of bodies or one by one. Unhiding your intended...

    "Isolate Body" command for Siemens NX

    Hi Tomas, In NX you can hide bodies easily by invert selection. But when you need to unhide only those bodies that were hidden earlier is impossible. You have to either unhide all the bodies at once or unhide the intended bodies one by one. Whereas isolate body command only unhides the intended...

    "Isolate Body" command for Siemens NX

    Hi Jerry, NX don't have any Isolate body command. What you are talking about is the "Isolate Component in new window" command. And the problem is that this command is available only in the assembly file. So if you have several component in an assembly you can isolate any of the...
