    Exploded view from another assembly

    Yes that could be an option. Will have to draw tracelines on the view

    Exploded view from another assembly

    Thanks for the suggestion Jerry, unfortunately when I paste I get the error "Unable to paste selected views due to failure to load reference part". I tried to add the reference spec file and it says "cannot add: XXXXX/1-NAME (specification: XXXXX/1), Reason: Part is not suitable for use as a...

    Exploded view from another assembly

    Hi all, I have a drawing that needs to show an exploded view from an assembly further up the tree. I know that I can take a part view from other assys but it seems I cannot take a part view from the other assemblies spec file, which is where I have to create the exploded view (using the master...

    NX7.5 'Save as' to an existing part number

    Thanks for all your input, I tried the importing the part through NX as lbd said, and this has worked well, there were a few substituted components (not sure what happened there) but I have taken note of these. This should give me a good starting point and save me a whole load of time. Mike I...

    NX7.5 'Save as' to an existing part number

    Thanks for the replies, Do you both know each other from AML? Khimani unfortunatly we do not have this functionality anymore, I remember this method worked well and also allowed the drawing file to be pulled across too. Mike, I will try your cloning method, I clone from the NX environment...

    NX7.5 'Save as' to an existing part number

    Hi All, We have an existing NX large assembly of a piece of equipment (say assy1), I need to create another piece of equipment (Say Assy2) that is 90% the same as Assy1. Assy2 needs to be a specific part number which already exists on Teamcenter. I am trying to find a way to save all of the...

    Sketch problem in NX 7.5

    I deleted a bunch of contraints and re-did them slightly different. Now when I add an unassociated line it asks for 4 contraints, so it looks like the sketch is working normally again! Thanks for your time Rich

    Sketch problem in NX 7.5

    Thanks Guys, I understand about the need to have an example, not sure if I can post one due to intellectual property rights reasons. From memory, when I created the offset curves it told me I only needed 1 constraint (the offset value) this seemed normal to me. I have tried to create another...

    Sketch problem in NX 7.5

    Hi All, I have a sketch in NX7.5 which keeps over constraining too quickly when I add contraints. I have tested this by adding a completly seperate line with no inferred contraints, the sketch tells me I need 3 contraints. When I try this with another sketch that is working normally the sketch...

    An albeit 'Off Topic' bit of trivia...

    Great post John, Makes me think of how many iconic products have been designed on Unigraphics/NX over the years. I recall seeing a drawing of the original ipod with a reference to Unigraphics on the border. Many thanks for all you help over the years! Rich

    Flippin' Angles ; )

    Hi all, Since we updated from NX4 to NX7.5 drawings in our system have had some of the angles flipped, ie a 20deg angle will now be 160deg. I see this mostly on hole centerlines dimentioned fron section lines. Any one else had this issue? is there a fix? Cheers, Rich

    View boundry Break line / detail issue

    Hi all, I am not sure if this is a problem with NX in general or just our system. NX7.5 I have noticed when up revising drawings that the 'Break line/ Detail' view boundries have changed to 'Manual Rectangle' not only this but when I try to recreate the 'Break line / Detail' boundry I am...

    'Save as' on an assy to an existing part number???

    Hi all, I want to 'save as' an NX assembly drawing say 'DWG10' to an existing part no 'DWG5'. Teamcenter won’t let me do this the normal way because it is an existing part. I need this specific number because it is referenced elsewhere. I want to keep all mating conditions and drawing...
