    NX 1953: How to 'create' Extreme Points?

    I think I figured it out. Not only does the Extreme Point option have to be Checked in the Measurement Preferences, but Other has to be selected as well as Extreme in the Results Filter. Then when you select Associative and open the flyout menu on screen, you get the option to create geometry...

    NX 1953: How to 'create' Extreme Points?

    I'm not seeing how I can set the Output Geometry in the newer Measure tool that would allow me to 'create' an Extreme point. This was possible in NX 12 using the standalone Extreme Point Measurement tool, but that's now pulled into the Measure tool. Anyone know about this? Regards, SMO (NX11)

    How to Associatively Cross-Reference a View/Section Label in NX 1953?

    It just won't display attributes in a note. Honestly. I can see all of my other notes, including the word "test" in the very same note, e.g. "test <WRef1*0@NX_ObjectMaterial>" just shows "test." I did checked my color settings, a Leader like I said before, and for the sake of it, Monochrome...

    How to Associatively Cross-Reference a View/Section Label in NX 1953?

    Cowski, Thank you for sharing that. I've only ever used the 'Relationships' category for the 'Insert Expression' functionality. Unfortunately though, the note isn't appearing on the drawing. Even though I'm able to follow the instructions step by steps, which are confirmed by the Cue/Status...

    How to Associatively Cross-Reference a View/Section Label in NX 1953?

    Toost, I can't Copy the attributes script from a View or Section label and Paste into a note, e.g. " SECTION <C2.0000><XYZ*0@VWLETTER_DISP>-<XYZ*0@VWLETTER_DISP><C> " I get the following message: " Invalid annotation specified in entry field. " This was always possible before. Regards, SMO...

    How to Associatively Cross-Reference a View/Section Label in NX 1953?

    It looks like old Edit Text (or Edit Annotation?) functionality is gone, where you could copy the view label attributes and then past them in a note to cross-reference back to that view. This method was nice of course because it maintain associativity, i.e. if the view label changes, so would...

    Knowledge Fusion script used with conditional statements

    I've used a Knowledge Fusion script before with Suppression by Expression and made the expression a conditional statement to where an Informational window would pop up letting the user know why the component feature went into a Suppressed state. For example: A Bellow (standard part) has a min...

    Syntax to create a Message popup

    Wondering if anyone knows syntax that can be used in an expression that pulls up a message window when that expression meets a specific condition? Knowledge Fusion syntax I believe. One example I've used this syntax for was with a conditional statement for a standard parts, Below which is to be...

    Layer Categories Only Alphabetically Listed?

    Sorry for the slow response... let me show an example. I would prefer: Layer 1 | SOLID,CROSS-SECTION Instead of: Layer 1 | CROSS-SECTION,SOLID Reason being, I might have 20 SOLID layers in a row but only 1 unique name included for each (I can search for either name and get different...

    Layer Categories Only Alphabetically Listed?

    Is there a way to turn off the default setting that is to list Category Names, for the same layer, Alphabetically? Seems completely unnecessary. Regards, SMO (NX11)

    How to denote a curved or surface radius a datum feature and not the axis?

    By the way, not a record from your response. I would just create one based on sound advise and research. Regards, SMO (NX11)

    How to denote a curved or surface radius a datum feature and not the axis?

    mkcski - thanks again, I agree with you completely about changing the origin of the Basic dimension so that it's coming from the Datum Simulator (axis of datum B), but I'm getting push-back. So am I safe in telling the shop there's a fundamental error with the current arrangement w.r.t. that...

    How to denote a curved or surface radius a datum feature and not the axis?

    mkcki - thank you, From what I understand, Basic dimensions have to be derived from references datum features (aside from tertiary in the case of orientation), directly (one Basic) or indirectly (chain of Basics) and since datum feature B is the axis of the flange diameter, does it make sense...

    How to denote a curved or surface radius a datum feature and not the axis?

    How can I legitimize the drop-dimension shown in the attached? From what I've read, Tangent plane is not used for this, I guess. Regards, SMO (NX11)https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=b095a0ab-5804-4846-b0ad-efac45e79148&file=Surface_Radius_Datum_Feature.PNG

    Is there a way to replace the Position Dependent source of a WAVE link?

    Thank you DidierPSICAD, The Make Position Independent function is good to know about. But in my case, I wanted to maintain Position Dependency w.r.t. some assembly layout, it's just that I didn't want every component in the Assy Nav to be carrying the control file within it (hence bottom-up)...

    Is there a way to replace the Position Dependent source of a WAVE link?

    I'm joining a new team/project at work and we are working with a complex assembly, with many component levels, all of which are using the same Control file for interpart WAVE linking - in a bottom-up manner. I'd like to change the bottom-up structure to a top-down structure where the control...

    Implicit vs. Explicit Override

    Hi, Can anyone explain what the differences are between Implicit and Explicit Override? I know what Position Override is but one thing I'm just noticing is the Open Arrow vs. the Green arrow under the Position column in the Assembly Navigator. If I only use Position Override on a single...

    Can't WAVE linking sketch curves that are reference.

    a984928, Thank you for looking into this but I think this is an in NX 11. If I find out more I will post here. Regards, SMO (NX11)

    Can't WAVE linking sketch curves that are reference.

    Hi a984928, Thank you and, yes - sort of. I'm in a top-down Wave linking situation but it should behave the same if you Add the sketch file/component directly in your assembly file and Waving linking from there. However, the issue is using the Composite Curve Wave option on a single Sketch...
