    How to set it up so that when I open a prt from windows, it opens in my active NX session?

    I have multiple OEM versions of NX on my computer. I just switched to a new machine and on my previous machine, it was configured so if I opened OEMA's NX and then opened and PRT, it would launch into that active window. However the new machine, if I open NX and then open a prt from explorer, it...

    NX1973 Fit to view when using a view operator no longer zooms to entire part.

    Well I found it, I'll answer it here in case anyone else has the issue. Customer Defaults->Gateway->Display->Miscellaneous "View Scale" change to "fit"

    NX1973 Fit to view when using a view operator no longer zooms to entire part.

    We just had our NX updated to version 1973 and when using the "Front", "Top" etc view operators, it no longer zooms to fit the model, but zooms in on the 0,0,0 datum. I can't seem to find an option in the customer defaults that sounds like it would fix this. I assume there's something like...

    NX11: File -> Save as in an assembly wants to do a save as for every parent file.

    I am generally working in standalone NX, but I do have Teamcenter integration. Not sure what that would change. Though mostly this is only an issue when I am working stand alone, because I don't do studies in TC. When I do a save as, there is no scope option. There's a greyed out options box...

    NX11: File -> Save as in an assembly wants to do a save as for every parent file.

    That's how I currently have to do it, although I feel like I have to hit no for every level above it, not just hitting it once. It's just annoying to have to go through, and like you said, your first instinct is just to hit no because you only want to save the one file.

    NX11: File -> Save as in an assembly wants to do a save as for every parent file.

    I know using the same assembly, my coworker in NX9.0 when he does a save as, it only asks him to rename the work file, and nothing above it. When I do it on my machine using 11, it brings up the prompt for the 3 assembly parents above it. Driving me nuts I can't find a way to skip this. I've...

    NX11: File -> Save as in an assembly wants to do a save as for every parent file.

    So it changed sometime between 9 and 11? That sucks, just extra steps that aren't really necessary.

    NX11: File -> Save as in an assembly wants to do a save as for every parent file.

    I just walked over to another desk where they still have NX9 and Save-as only prompts for the work part. Looked around in his settings and still didn't see any reason for the difference.

    NX11: File -> Save as in an assembly wants to do a save as for every parent file.

    Since upgrading to NX11, when I am in an assembly and do a File-save as on a component part, it makes me go through a prompt to do a save as for every level of the assembly that is above the component I am working on. This didn't use to happen in older versions of NX. I've searched through...

    Any way to make different views on a drawing show different reference sets?

    Wish it were that simple. See my response earlier to that same suggestion. The customer has a script to move all bodies to layer 1 and everything else gets moved to a different layer. So I wouldn't be able to do it that way.

    Any way to make different views on a drawing show different reference sets?

    Yeah sorry, it's the same concept as a flat vs sheet metal part, so they just copied the name of it. Straight stock probably works better than flat stock, but either way it sounds like there's no way to do exactly what I wanted, so I'll just have to do the way SDETERS mentioned.

    Any way to make different views on a drawing show different reference sets?

    Neither of those are the case John. These are flexible tubes, they have a "straight manufactured model" and a "installed model which involves a bunch of bends" but both are in the same part due to the customer's wonky system. I can't create an assembly because it is in their TC and in order to...

    Any way to make different views on a drawing show different reference sets?

    I don't think that would work. When I submit the data, they have an automated thing that moves all solids to layer 1 and everything to a different layer. So I am assuming that would screw up the views.

    Any way to make different views on a drawing show different reference sets?

    Working on some very flexible tubes. For our production plant, they get a flat view where it's just a straight tube with all the clips and such on it. The assembly plant however needs a view in the installed position. So in the 3D data, all of this is done in one part instead of as an...

    Radial toolbar not always popping up in NX11 when pushing RMB on background.

    Looking for a little feedback here. We just upgraded from 9.5 to 11 before the Holidays. I'm just now getting into exploring the new options and things. The first thing I noticed, was for some reason they reversed the direction the mouse wheel zoomed. No problem, I found the setting to...

    NX Initialization Error for NX 9 Teamcenter 10

    Getting the following error when trying to start NX from Teamcenter. "Runetime Exception in SOA client from the object type UGS::PDM::MODEL:CDM:USER AsG9BSnq4twC: Type Mismatch asking for Char Array Property. This happens when I try and launch NX via Teamcenter. The error will pop up and NX...

    Catia v5 importing steps generates components instead of products. Any way to change that?

    Perfect, that seemed to do the trick. Tried it on a few and it worked so far. Thank's a lot.

    Catia v5 importing steps generates components instead of products. Any way to change that?

    Just switching over to Catia after years of NX at my company. We're trying to get some data transferred, but one big problem we seem to be running into is when you import a STP into Catia, it's creating a mixture of products and components instead of doing it all as components. This doesn't...

    Exporting assembly level into individual component step files

    Perfect, that's what I was looking for. Thank you PhoeNX.

    Exporting assembly level into individual component step files

    Is there a way I can export an entire assembly into individual component level step files in one batch action? We have to give suppliers .stp files for quoting and I have an entire assembly worth of components (~100) that I need to convert to step files and I was really hoping there was an...
