    NX Journal to 'reset' all attributes

    I like a bit of hacking! Ha ha, well it would need to be run on parts opened in their own window, as doing that in the assembly file, doesn't change the attributes if you opened them individually. I'll take a look on that site and see what I can find. Might be able to cobble something up, where...

    NX Journal to 'reset' all attributes

    Hi there, It's been a while since I've been on NX but back there now and trying to find ways to speed up my processes. I've been searching, but can't quite find the answer.

    Looking for some help on a tolerance question

    Checker hater, true about the datum as holes. This would be my normal practice, but in doing that and adding the assembly tolerance I got thinking there must be some sort of calcs which work it all out. So you would gd and t the holes position and fit. Which would allow an amount of float...

    Looking for some help on a tolerance question

    Tolerance stack up is the one book I've not got to yet. It brushes on it in the books I have by James D Meadows but I don't have the specific tolerance stack up. Maybe another investment is in order! I don't have a specific example which I can share, but I had a feeling it would be something to...

    Looking for some help on a tolerance question

    Morning all, I have been asked a question which got me thinking. I have attached a little sketch. So the bottom image is a plate with 2 pins, the top image is a plate with 2 holes, they fit on top of each other. Normally we would tolerance the holes and pins with GD & T and once assembled...

    BS EN 3506 Help Please

    Evening all, I'm looking at BS EN 3506-1 spec for stainless fasteners, but it only talks about metric sizes. Does this cover inch series or is there something else which does inch? Thanks in advance

    Looking For Some Help :-)

    Cheers I'll have a proper look at this later. I found a Google book where it talked about the samples used, but I got the feeling it brushed over it. I'd like to be seeing the full reports really, could be interesting reading!

    Looking For Some Help :-)

    Hi, I'm hoping someone can help? I'm studying ASME and geometric tolerancing and the book I have mentions a study done by a ELECTRONICS MEASURING DEVICES INC, done in 1989 to verify surface forms.  The paragraph reads;  According to a study done by Electronic Measuring Devices Inc, in 1988, it...

    MicroScribe 3D

    Good evening all, Ihave purchased a MicroScribe 3D (i know it's the older model, i wanted to learn a bit about reverse engineering etc.) Trouble is i cannot for the life of me get it working. Firstly, anyone who may have one, am I right in saying that once you load the MicroScribe Utility...

    Catia V5 R21 Thumbnail isn't there when saving

    Afternoon All, So just recently I've noticed that my thumbnails aren't showing when I save a part in Catia v5 r21. I just get a blank back ground colour. I've been over google and this forum, and tried the /regserver thing and nothing happened, not sure I did it right, but it didn't complain...
