From the jpeg, I think the problem you are running into is that the parts that you selected to be on the parts list does not have any description in the part attributes. I am running NX3 so hopefully it is similar in NX5. If you right click on the component, go to "properties", then the...
I would use "Extract Region" function (Insert, Form Feature, Extract) and select the inside as the seed face and where the pipes will connect to as the boundary.
Then I would use "N-Sided surface" (Insert, Free-Form Feature, N-sided surface) to close the region.
Use sew then you have a solid...
That is an interesting change in the point location (after looking at the file you sent me)
Like what you said, if you dimension from line 3, it will work correctly.

Hi Tchouk,
I've followed the steps that you provided and when I varied the 90 degrees to 270 degrees, like you said, the point is in the third quarter. Even at 271, I am still at the third quarter (which is what I would expect).
Maybe I am missing something, but I cannot see how it can be in...
All the planes are already present in the component that you add to the assembly (and you do not need reference sets like in UG).
To access these plane when you are mating, look at the pull down component list just beside the property panel. There you will see a "+" sign. Click on that and...
If you need more functionality, there are more out there Ken.
If you click on the dimension in drawing, you will be given a properties on the left side. Under the "dimension text" box, there's a "More..." button. After adding one that you want, there's where I got the code for all the other...
As far as I know, you cannot do what you have mentioned (I am a UG user as well). The only way to link the dimensions is by using equations. After placing the dimension you want to drive, you will get a new window where you can change that dimension. To the right of that new pop-up, there is...
Hi ParaCAD,
There is a way to mirror a part then have it saved as a different name.
First you place the original part in an assembly (doesn't really matter where). Then you go "Insert", "Mirror Component". You will get a new properties window on the side. Select a mirror face (I usually...
Has anyone done the Ug certification test?
I went to their website and have read through the topics, but I didn't find any sample tests on there.
Are there any sample tests that I can find on the web?
Thanks.
Hi Chris,
Instead of simply using "F" to override the dimension, if you type in "<SL-#>" where # is your letter, you can get your basic dimension that you want.
I would try to create multiple sketches instead of having everything on one sketch. For example, have all the tubular legs on one sketch and the angle iron sides on another. After creating that, just hide the sketch and that should be cleaner and easier to manage.
Scorch,
It sounds like you might have a loop somewhere.
What I mean by loop is that Part A requires Part B to be updated, Part B requires Part C to be updated but Part C requires Part A to be updated. Therefore on the first rebuild, all parts are updated and changed. Because Part A is driven...
Konstrukor,
The way to solve that problem is to first put a custom property to your subassemblies (Using say "description" under the Property name in File, Properties). And type in the information that you want in this description field. Then place a note the drawing, making sure that you put...
