    Manipulating Parts List Generation of Callout detail #'s in NX9

    Just make several partlists, one for each sub assembly. For each part list, right click on the list to change list levels for selecting only one sub assembly (and its children), then right click on the list >> update part list and finally right click on the list >> settings, in the part list...

    NX12 pattern curve

    this is odd. Unfortunately hard to help without the source file. Anyway, the constraints should be embedded in the pattern feature. Beware of reference geometry (like line converted to axis) which requires to have end points constraints to be considered as "fully constraint".

    NX12 Drafting Part List Filters

    Hello, Is there a way in the Part List function (Home in Drafting application) to filter components, a bit as the same way it allows the user to sort component ? Thanks, Sun

    NX Nastran - Rotation won't be fixed

    Thanks, I have worked this out a little bit and your are right. I understand 3D volume meshed with SOLID elements (like CTETRA or SOLID187) have only 3 DOF elements (ux,uy,uz). Is there a way to achieve the behavour I expected first with some tweaking ?

    NX perspective zoom clipping

    Oh my, To me, perspective views and cameras are one of the major fails in NX (along with the controversial measuring tool). It is very complicated to have a "look over" first person view inside a model. Camera clipping is as well very tricky in my opinion.

    NX Nastran - Rotation won't be fixed

    Hi there, I have a problem for a couple of days on NX12 Simulation, using NASTRAN solver. I am unable to lock rotation of a face while applying displacement or force over one axis. Whether I use "user-defined constraint" or "fix all rotations", on the face I want to constraint, it just won't...

    NX 12, top level components not following lower level assembly arrangement.

    Another way of using arrangement without to clone it to different levels is to use component override feature and top level arrangement.

    NX Modeling - Replace component break constraint

    Thanks Tomas, Yeah, I found out the name trick, but my parts are essentially non-volumetric, only lines, arcs and CSYS. Except CSYS (and vectors planes and origins), 3Dlines and 3Darcs do not have a name property assigned to the object itself, so this not possible to keep constraints except the...

    NX Modeling - Replace component break constraint

    Simple as that : Dim theSession As Session = Session.GetSession() Dim workPart As Part = theSession.Parts.Work Dim old_id As String = workPart.UniqueIdentifier Dim new_id As String = "this is the new id" workPart.UniqueIdentifier = new_id theSession.ListingWindow.WriteLine(workPart.Name & "...

    NX Modeling - Replace component break constraint

    Ok, finally after investigating further, and according to the documentation, renaming object can help keeping constraints when using "replace component". Although I knew this and had my CSYS features used for constraints renamed, I did not use the name attribute of the object itself (instead of...

    NX Modeling - Replace component break constraint

    Hi cowski, I want to build skeleton parts (3dline, CSYS, 3DArcs and so) and assembly them based on Excel worksheet and some input parameters. I have made most of the work, everything is building up perfectly, except I cannot rebuild a specific part with a part of the excel file and use it to...

    NX Modeling - Replace component break constraint

    Thanks for your reply. I'm a bit confused though. The two parts I try to swap are build using a script and nothing else. So, except UID and windows file attributes (such as "last modified date"), how can NX distinguish the part from its "clone" ? If you have any documentation on this I would...

    NX Modeling - Replace component break constraint

    Hi all, When I try to replace a component from the assembly by the same component "saved as" with new name, and with "retain relation" checked, the component gets replaced and both of its relations (contact csys over csys) are effectively retained. When I try to do the same with a component...

    NX locks .dll file after unload

    Okay option "Immediately" did the trick. Thanks again, what a time saver option :)

    Thanks a lot cowski, I'll give it a look

    NX Measure distance

    I think the result is the same because you are measuring the distance between two points, rather than measuring the distance between objects themselves. That's probably why minimum = maximum, it only gives you the distance between the points you clicked, projected on the vector. I cannot check...

    NX locks .dll file after unload

    Hey there, I have an awkward issue my .NET NXOpen program. After I run the compiled .dll filewhich works as it should, without exception, except I cannot rebuild to make chnages because it is held by NX process. I do have a function to unload : Public Function GetUnloadOption(ByVal dummy...

    Executing VB code for NX directly from Visual Studio

    Okay, I'm still force to start code from NX (Ctrtl + U) but at least JIT debugger allows me to stop code and use step by step instruction control. Thanks again, Sun

    Executing VB code for NX directly from Visual Studio

    Thanks, I was not aware of the v12 of this guide. This make much sense now. I will give it a try with Community edition, the installer says it provides just-in-time debugging as well. Regards,

    Executing VB code for NX directly from Visual Studio

    Hi Ehaviv, I could not find that information in the guide, are you talking about this one : I could not find any mention about visual studio profesionnal edition.
