    NX1899 - mass in a titleblock

    Hi Anthony, I don't think I've explained properly, I am using the master model method, with a separate drawing file. When creating the drawing template, I'm trying to pull the MassPropRollupMass expression from the master model (by pressing link to part), not from the drawing file itself...

    Hole callout on circular surface

    Hi, Not sure what you mean - is the surface planar but circular in shape? Or is the surface spherical? And has the hole been created using the hole feature command? Regards, Carl Harrison www.oneplm.com

    NX1899 - mass in a titleblock

    Hi Anthony, Thanks for this info. One problem I've noticed is that if any scenery (components or bodies) are added to the drawing, their mass is included in the expression. As an alternative I wondered about pulling the expression from Master Model instead. This is fine if it's an assembly...

    Popup window in NX10 Drafting Mode

    That's in your customer defaults (File > utilities > customer defaults), and you can use it to increase the delay before the pop-ups arrive, which is handy. www.cuttingedge.co.uk

    NX12 Synchronous Modelling Group has Vanished

    It's an odd one isn't it Tomas! I think if it happens again I'll mention it to GTAC, with text from here. Regards Carl www.cuttingedge.co.uk

    Save options desaster

    Hi Bogdan, I think you mean NX can't find the child part files in Windows folders - is that right? If so: Check File > Options > Assembly Load Options - from folder means all files are in the same folder as parent assembly - as saved means they are in their original saved location If the...

    NX12 Synchronous Modelling Group has Vanished

    Hi Ronald, Thank you for the tip, I will try if it happens again. Regards, Carl www.cuttingedge.co.uk

    NX12 Synchronous Modelling Group has Vanished

    So, I've just re-started my computer, and the Synchronous Modelling group has magically re-appeared on the Home tab and in customise! Can't explain that at all, it must be gremlins. Thanks again for your help, Carl www.cuttingedge.co.uk...

    thread561-162627 Studio spline tangent to a surface?

    Hi, Can you create an associative curve on the surface first (e.g. intersection with a datum), so that the spline can stay tangent to that. Regards, Carl www.cuttingedge.co.uk

    NX12 Synchronous Modelling Group has Vanished

    Hi Anthony and Ronald, It's not in customize either (pic attached). Very strange, really does seem like it's been somehow switched off. I'll probably just re-install NX if no-one has seen this before, but I thought worth asking just in case. Thanks for your suggestions, Carl...

    NX12 Synchronous Modelling Group has Vanished

    Hello all, 2 weeks ago I had a Synchronous Modelling group on the Home tab (in Modeling) in NX12. Now, it's gone. - It doesn't appear in the Home tab ribbon options (to turn it back on) - I've also checked by going back to default advanced role, and it's not there either - And I tried loading...

    Selecting only solid bodies from child components for the Model Reference Set

    Hi Dave, Thanks yes, with more testing I was coming to the same conclusion. While this will work for the drawing, this won't work for the next parent assembly. And also, it doesn't allow someone working "mid-way" through an assembly structure to produce something decent to be used in...

    Selecting only solid bodies from child components for the Model Reference Set

    Hi Dave, Absolutely right, but we have hundreds of them across the globe (with regular turnover), and only one me. I don't even stand a chance :-/ So I was hoping for a way to tidy up pre-existing messes. Regards Carl www.jcb.com NX 8.5 with TC 8.3

    Selection Highlight delay in drafting

    Don't panic, there's a part 2 which doesn't involve surgery! I've seen this problem happen when space mice have gone out of calibration. It was also once caused by some dust under the cap. If that's the issue, re-calibrate / clean and plug back in, and all is well. www.jcb.com NX 8.5 with TC 8.3

    Selection Highlight delay in drafting

    Hello, You aren't using a space mouse are you? If so, unplug it and try again. Carl www.jcb.com NX 8.5 with TC 8.3

    Selecting only solid bodies from child components for the Model Reference Set

    Hello all, I'm looking at a typical problem at the moment, where large assemblies contain all kinds of junk from the child components, e.g. datums, sketches and in particular here, a product outline. The user does not have ownership of the child components. They need to create a drawing, so...

    Exported flat pattern bend lines appear solid font

    Hi Dave, Exported from Sheet Metal, but using File > Export AutoCAD DXF/DWG I don't use the Export Flat Pattern command anymore, since I discovered that it embeds the units in imperial even for a metric part (fixed in the next version). I did mess around with the line fonts in Modelling...

    Exported flat pattern bend lines appear solid font

    Hi Tomas, In both DWGTrueView and Teamcenter Visualization result is the same. I think it probably is a setting in either of these two packages (no idea what though!), as I don't think DXF would be able to capture a setting applied in NX. Just a guess. Since the font is still phantom/dashed...

    Hi, Without much info, I'd say check your assembly load options? Regards, Carl www.jcb.com NX 8.5 with TC 8.3
