The corporation that I work for has been using MBD for quite a while (>10yrs) but in this French CAD-system. In my role I am suppsed to educate in, and implement, the MBD way of work at other companies (customers) that shows interest in that method. Some of our customers uses NX and therefore...

As previously stated in thread561-358657 (locked thread) Hi, I'm working on different ways to incorporate PMI as a replacement to 2D-drawings in NX and would like your input regarding this. What is considered best-practise in using PMI? 1) Is it to populate 3D-model with PMI (in the same file)...

Hi, I'm working on different ways to incorporate PMI as a replacement to 2D-drawings in NX and would like your input regarding this. What is considered best-practise in using PMI? 1) Is it to populate 3D-model with PMI (in the same file)? 2) Or is it to use the Master Model Concept/Approach and...

adam1986: See my answer in this thread: http://eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=335410 Cloning are quite a confusing function if you don't handle it with some loving and caring. The general behaviour is that if you clone an assembly, that assembly component/"file" should be listed at the top in...

What does your output file say?

Can you post your .clone-file (if you generated one) or the cloning report?

Be sure to exit NX by File -> Exit and not the X-button (in upper right corner). Quite a few changes to the interface in the session will be undone if NX is closed with X. /Lars

Depending on how your environment is set up you should be able to disconnect your NX session from TC, as looslib mentioned above, or start a native NX session as you would have done if you weren't using TC at all. Your sysadmin will be able to answer your question on how to start NX native at...

Hi, Do you generate a .clone file prior to executing the clone operation? If you don't do that, then do it. Open your .clone file in a text editor. Here I assume that your top assembly DOES NOT appear at the top? Edit the order in the .clone file so that the "top assembly block" is the first of...

Hi, I'm not sure if I understod your problem correctly, but I assume that you've checked your: view (RMB on view border) -> Style... -> Silhouettes (on General tab)? /Lars

You need an ELSE... IF(length > 100)(3) ELSE (0) /Lars

In some (rare) cases a function key on the keyboard or some help settings in Windows locks up, making your computer behave like some key are pressed (like Alt for instance)... I can't remember what's actually triggering this, but a quick check to ensure that Fn, Ctrl, Alt etc. are functioning as...

Based on your information regarding that all the other features are the same I would propose this as an alternative solution: 1. Create a small body (extrude or revolve) in a position that ensures it to always be within an area/volume that are common for all the sketches (so that you can use...

How do you choose the sketch? By editing section in, for example, extrude/revolve or...?

Hej Petter, Thanks for your ansver. I assumed that this was the general behavior and that I would have to adress this in another way, although I was hoping for improvement in later versions of NX. Now that you've confirmed the same behavior in later versions of NX I can, with more effort, look...
