Right, that makes sense. Hence the X-series' reason for existence. Is there any other way around its limitations?

@hydtools - the Belleville and Nord Lock washers may be of various materials. In this particular application we need something more corrosion resistant than zinc plated steel, so both the Bellevilles and the Nord Locks would likely by made of stainless steel. Belleville washers are commonly made...

Background: Nord Lock wedge locking washers have a great reputation for resisting vibrational loosening of bolted joints. In some applications the preload on the joint may be at risk of diminishing due to creep, relaxation, thermal expansion or etc, and in these kinds of applications the basic...

cowski, thanks for the code; I'll try to find time to try it out. johnrbaker, what you say is indeed my understanding of Ref Sets in the context of assembly modeling. jpetach: you're right, but the functionality I'm describing, and what it sounds like cowski has at least in part implemented in...

NX8.0.3.4 MP13 Windows 7 x64 Pro Is it possible to Show/Hide within a part, using that part's Reference Sets? Let's say you've got a complex model, perhaps serving as a design master for a complex assembly, with several Reference Sets containing different subsets of data. It'd be very useful to...

Maybe add more detail to your question, a screenshot, or an example file?

If you do not need to automate the export process, then you can accomplish what you need using the File > Export options directly. Just check them out. There are a number of ways to do what you want to do but the simplest is to do File > Export > Parasolid; then use the options in the window...

Michael, Please carefully read through this thread: thread561-218532. The recommendations in that thread still apply.

@cowski Awesome, thanks, that works. I can customize the code from here. Out of curiosity, how do you handle your development of code like this? Are you actually journaling or do you somehow have an intimate knowledge of the NX API?

Thanks, John.

NX8.0.3.4 MP9 Win7 x64 Assemblies > Context Control > Product Outline: You can Define or Show, but once you've defined a Product Outline, can you delete it? We're new to the use of this feature in NX and I'm curious how stable it is. The past has shown us that in many cases, features driven...

NX8.0.3.4 MP9 Win7 x64 I've searched the forum for related posts but couldn't find a concise answer to this very old issue: what are the best practices for use of coordinate systems (CSYS) and other datums/sketches/etc inside assemblies and subassemblies (as opposed to piece parts)...

Thank you for the sample code. Unfortunately I'm getting a number of errors: Line 203: 'AttributeManager' is not a member of 'NXOpen.Session'. Line 203: 'OperationType' is not a member of 'NXOpen.AttributePropertiesBuilder'. Line 209: 'SetAttributeObjects' is not a member of...

If you're trying to selectively open certain components within a specified size range within an existing assembly, then the tool you're looking for does exist, or at least something very close to it: Assemblies > Context Control > Find Component > By Size (larger than or smaller than) ...once...
