    Mass Check-in in TeamCenter?

    Greetings! I am working with an assembly with quite a few parts. I notice that sometimes the parts do not get checked back in when I am done working with them. Consequently, when someone else tries to work with the assembly, they get a read-only warning. The only way to remedy this is to go...

    Reference geometry in drawing

    Let me clarify a bit. I incorporate reference datum planes into drawings to show where my object is in space, and how reference lengths are measured. However I do not incorporate reference geometry in modeling to position a view in a drawing. Or maybe I misunderstood the question all...

    Reference geometry in drawing

    I usually don't do that because the location of the drawing on the sheet will vary with scale and model size. Additionally, you have to position the "line frame" where you want it in modeling, and when you want a side view, you have to rotate your frame. It really becomes much more of a hassel...

    Importing Points?

    Welcome to the forum. A quick piece of advice, make sure you search through the topics before posting a new topic. Chances are, you'll find that your problem has already been addressed. Don't feel bad though, I'm as guilty as anyone! :) Anyway, when you go to create a spline, there is an...

    Importing Points?

    Are you wanting to import JUST the points, or are you going to create a surface or spline from the points? Regards, Grant Aerospace Engineer

    Text in sketch

    I agree, Tim. Good point on the development of the original UG in DOS. I've never really seen a clear cut direction in the development of UG. The plotting function is a prime example. We got the plotting routines set up in NX, and NX2, and then they change it all together in NX3 (for the...

    Text in sketch

    Thanks for that info, Tim. I guess it's wait and see time now. I've run across these types of issues before, and said to myself: "This would be so easy to implement, why haven't they done it?" But then I look at the big picture. OK, implement it. Then update the documentation, the help...

    Text in sketch

    That's a good point, Tim. Understandably, some people don't have as much experience when it comes to determining which method of text to use... I agree with Tim that you should check out NX3. While the work-arounds the other users mentioned will work in NX2, NX3 I think will do what you are...

    Text in sketch

    Good idea, yajnas! That CGM export function is useful in a lot of different work-arounds. Exporting a DXF file, for instance! The only bad thing is that if you want to edit the text, or if it isn't the right size, you'll need to go through the entire process again. Argh... Regards, Grant...

    fuselage without windows

    Cost/benefit is always a player in military applications. However in the civilian world, cost/benefit doesn't matter, because all bets are off in the courtroom. So why bother? Hate to be so crass, as I'm sure they've been done before, but the harsh reality is that you can't lose a life in an...

    fuselage without windows

    That's true. There is never a cost/benefit study relating to safety. Yet somehow the government still manages to place a monetary value to each person on board... Regards, Grant Aerospace Engineer

    Or how many lives are saved per second of allowable evacuation time... Regards, Grant Aerospace Engineer

    Unknown update? (!)

    That figures... should have searched for (!). Sorry for the duplicate posts. Regards, Grant Aerospace Engineer

    fuselage without windows

    Good thought, SuperStress. Never thought of the evac. logistics. Regards, Grant Aerospace Engineer
