    Assign material color (journal maybe?)

    That's exactly what I was talking about, thanks cowski. However, now that I'm looking at it, it isn't 100% what I'm looking for. I'm looking for something that goes thru each part within my assembly, finds the material assigned to that part, references an excel spreadsheet that has a list of...

    Assign material color (journal maybe?)

    What I'd like to do is whenever I assign a material to a particular part, it changes the color of that part according to the material. For example, steel parts would be blue, aluminum would be green, wood would would be brown, un-assigned parts would be gray, etc. It's my understanding that this...

    Orbix Error on Export/Import

    Hello, I'm getting an I-deas ORB/orbix error when importing and exporting .igs or .stp files. I can get as far as selecting what type of file I want to import/export, but once I hit Ok I get the attached error message. Has anyone else encountered this problem and if so, how do you fix it...

    Drafting Update Error

    Can the Part Cleanup feature be used to reduce the size of exported .stp or .igs files?

    Drafting Update Error

    Thanks for the reply, JRB. After doing what you suggested, I can update sheet individually, but if I try to update the entire drawing, I get the same error as before. I can work around this for now, but I may have to give GTAC a call in the future if it persists.

    Drafting Update Error

    I'm working on a 3 page drawing and the first two pages update fine but the third page wont update without giving me an internal error. I took a screenshot of the error message I'm getting. The first one pops up when I try to update, and the second comes up after I've clicked "OK" on the first...

    Render Sets (Drafting)

    I'm creating a drawing of an assembly and I want to make one part in the assembly have phantom lines. I used render sets to make the lines in that component phantom, but when I did so, the edges that were previously hidden (because another component was blocking it from view) are now showing up...

    Reducing Export Size

    The reason behind me thinking the file size should be a quarter the size is based on previous assemblies that were very similar. Exporting as STEP203, these are the options I chose in the command window, most of it is default: Files tab: Export from: displayed part Data to export tab: Entire...

    Reducing Export Size

    I'm exporting an assembly with ~300-400 parts in it. I have hidden everything that I can and it is still too large. Is there some setting in the export that's causing the export file to be so big?

    Reducing Export Size

    I'm trying to export an assembly as step203 or step214 and I end up getting a huge file. Is there a way to reduce the size of the exported model? The size should be about a quarter of what it is. Is there some useless data that is getting exported that I can choose not to export? Any help would...

    Intersection Curve: Null tag not allowed

    I'm getting an error that says "Null tag not allowed" whenever I try to make an intersection curve in sketch in task environment. After I click Ok on the error window, I can't rotate or pan my model without exiting the sketch in task environment first. This problem started when I re-opened my...

    Teamcenter Import with Auto Naming

    I tried to do this, but it didn't work for me. Could you elaborate on what I need to do? A solution to this would save me a lot of time creating names for 100+ parts. (I'm using Teamcenter V5.3)

    Teamcenter Import with Auto Naming

    I have an assembly that I'm working on locally in NX7.5 that I want to import into Teamcenter. If I go into each part, and select Properties and go to the General tab, each part has a unique Name associated to the Part Number. I know that when I import the assembly into Teamcenter, it will...

    Turn Off Automatic Rotate View to Normal in Sketch in Task Environment

    When I'm in a sketch and click on "Open in Sketch Task Environment", my view is automatically rotated/translated to be normal to the sketch. Is there a way to turn this off and not have the rotation/translation when I enter a task environment sketch? I'm asking this because my computer gets...

    Creating x,y,z Excel/.txt File from Point Set

    John, When I tried to run your GRIP file, I came across a few errors. The first two popped up after executing the file, but before I selected any points. The last two errors came after selecting the points and clicking "ok". The first three errors went away after I clicked "CONTINUE" but the...

    Creating x,y,z Excel/.txt File from Point Set

    I can execute GRIP programs, but don't have the license for compiling/linking .grs/.gri files in the NX Open Grip command window. I need a program to get me 14 decimal place accuracy for up to 15,000 points. Is this possible? If not, I can try to use your GRIP program and go 1000 points at a...

    Creating x,y,z Excel/.txt File from Point Set

    Does anyone have a macro that will export a point set to a .txt or .xls file? Am I really the only one who has needed to do this in NX? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Creating x,y,z Excel/.txt File from Point Set

    Moudy1, thanks a lot for the files. I made some modifications to your file by making it calculate up to 15,000 points and with a 9 decimal place accuracy. I had the license to compile/link GRIP files for a few weeks, but I no longer have it. I need a file to get up to 14 decimal place accuracy...

    Measuring Volume Enclosed by Faces

    Instead of starting a new thread, I decided to post another question on here. How do I get the sketches I created in modeling to show up in my drawing views when I'm drafting? NX 7.5

    Measuring Volume Enclosed by Faces

    Thanks for the quick reply, that's exactly what I've been looking for. It works perfectly for what I'm trying to do. Another question: is there a way to do a divide sheet/partition where the cut line doesn't completely divide the selected face. It's a little hard to explain, but I've attached...
