    Drawing helical internal gear

    btw, I assume you have used the Swept feature for the example in the pictures. The missing specification there is the orientation of the section along the guide, some variable must be added to "tell the section to rotate when it follows the guide". this is what the "Orientation method"...

    Drawing helical internal gear

    simplest is to draw a line in the center of the hole. ( = the centerline) Then sweep using your profile , use the center line as the (1) guide string .use angular law. Linear. 0 -20degrees ( ?) ( tick the preserve shape for better faces.)

    Load interpart data

    According to me ( ... ) the load interpart data means "load whats needed for the link" but not more than neccessary. Immediate level = first levels components but stop there. All levels ="follow a possible chain of links to the end"

    Standard Practice for Drafting in NX

    NX has an extremely long history for a piece software. ( If John Baker is listening he can add some details on this.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siemens_NX Back in time the concept was to create everything in a single file, this was before the concept of "assemblies" where other parts where...

    Hide line lables in assembly

    How did you get these labels to appear ? Try "F5" or right click in the graphics - Refresh. this will erase if the labels are temporary graphics. Else Menu - Visualization- View-Decorations -Show Object names= off

    NX Journal: Turning Expressions into Labels

    i am still confused on the purpose of this, MBD is to me transfer ( to the reader) info on how the geometry looks and how to manufacture/ tolerances etc, the feature buildup can be a completely different story, and not necessary a good one either.. NX is maybe the most "allowing" cad system, it...

    there is a site nxjournaling.com run by a fellow from here... :-) Look it up, i think there are examples to view.

    correct reuse file location.

    The mass fix is to properly define the search directories, and the search order for best performance, then save the resulting "load_options.def" -file. ( This file can be named anything if : ) On each NX using computer you either have a common UGII_ENV_FILE which is read upon start , which in...

    correct reuse file location.

    To be honest i do not really follow you here... When running NX Native , it's the Load options dialog / settings that will "search" the files . I'm not sure all are aware of the ability / how this works : The order of the named directories is the search order. "C:\projects\" will search this...

    Through Curves command

    I think this question is answered. OP has posted the question twice on the Siemens forum. The ends of the curves are not closed.

    Through Curves command

    Are the section curves closed , end to end or is there a gap ? - Use the measure function and measure minimum distance from the end points. NX is very precise so if there is a gap, it needs to be very small for NX to "bridge" .

    NX 2212: Subtraction error.......

    Is that second extrude a solid body and not a sheet body ? You have that option in the extrude dialog.

    Sketch Failure Message in NX

    Open the Sketcher , start the reattach dialog , snap a new Origin Point. ( or the same) This should cure the message.

    Tools distribution/locations........

    Once one learns how good the command finder is, it is exactly what i have been missing in other softwares... Do i need say MS/Word ...?

    NX 2212 - Sheets from curves..............

    If you go Edit - Feature- Remove parameters you can "kill" the Pattern Geometry feature. The lines will then be totally non parametric and will not be visible in the part navigator.

    NX2312 Sketcher and Drafting - Approximate Dimension Symbol

    I am not using the new sketcher yet. In Drafting, are these symbols still visible if you de-activate the sketch ?

    any company/individual with a NX licese for sale?

    Sales of used software are not popular by the software companies, normally they want to sell the software "as new". The real problem is the license which is locked to a specific server. The license is not impossible to crack but be aware that Siemens is tracing illegal copies and will knock on...

    NX 2212 - Sheets from curves..............

    Is this the real wireframe model you are asking about ? Or are you trying to learn methods to apply on real model ?
