    Linked Dual Dims

    Hello All, Anyone have experience with linked dual dims? I'm trying to get mm [inch] format with max over min limits however the tolerance range is variable so I have it linked to an expression in the model. NX isn't picking up on the unit difference in the default dual dim dialog. I'm...

    diameter extension line not showing from component

    Hello, Need some help. In the attached sample assy/drawing you'll see that the diameter shown has no extension lines. This seems to only happen when there are features in the assembly. If we create this same assy with the over-molded rubber as a component, the extension line will show. Any...

    GD&T feature control frame preferences

    Hello, I'm trying to default the tolerance set to off (un-ticked) for feature control frame... I can't seem to find the setting anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My users see different behavior from different drawing templates so I assume it is a setting within the template or...

    Tangent edges on swept features

    Hello, Working on NX6.0.5.3 In the attached .prt file you'll see a simple geometry with three features (sweep along a guide, swept, extrude). I'm hoping someone can help me find a way to make the swept feature not show the extra tangent edges (smooth edges). These edges are not shown in the...

    NX symbol question

    Howdy All, Anyone know if there is a way to default symbol placement to USE DEFINITION rather than USE CURRENT? Running NX6.0.5.3 globally but would be handy to know if anything exists in later versions as well ;) Thanks...

    cell fill

    Hello, Wondering if NX has a function to fill a cell in a table.... similar to background cell fill in excel. All I've been able to come up with thus far is to trace the cells with sketch curves and then use the solid area fill. I'm thinking there should be an easier way. Currently running...

    How to instance/pattern a screw series hole

    Hello, Anyone know how to instance/pattern a complex hole? I have a countersunk hole in the attached part. Trying to do circular instance 4 places equally spaced. -Originally created in NX6.0.5.3 the instance feature doesn't recognize the screw series hole as a feature to select. -In...

    Startup site settings

    Hello, Can someone help me figure out how to change from one version of startup site settings to another? I think I came across this in NX once and I can't find it currently. I have a common PC that multiple folks want to use (via citrix) to run NX with different site settings. There are...

    Sweep along guide is twisting

    Hello, Anyone know how to keep a sweep along guide from twisting? I have extracted curves (from an imported model) as a guide string with some bridge curves replacing the small non-tangent curves. When I sweep a simple cross section, it twists as it goes along the guide string. In the...

    Modeling threads for 3D printing

    Hello, What is the best way to get threads in a .stl file so they can be printed? I realize that these threads may not function unless the printer is very accurate. Using NX6.0.5.3 and TCuA8.3, once of my sites is looking to purchase a 3D printer so I don't have a specific machine yet...

    Launch Several NX files sequentially from NX

    Anyone know a way to select and launch multiple NX files when integrated with TC? I'm currently using NX 6.0.5.3 and TCuA8.3 Thanks in advance, this could be a huge timesaver for me.

    Leading zeros for interpart relationships

    Hello, Looking for some knowledge about leading zeros when using interpart relationships. Let me know if I omit any detail that you may need. I'll try to post everything that I know folks will ask for and abbreviate the background. I am working with NX6.0.5.3 and TC8.3 I have a couple...

    Modify the diameter of a dumb model

    Hello, I am trying to modify the diameter of an imported model with no history. It is a simple cylinder with chamfers on the four corners. Each time I try various options in synchronous modeling the options to keep the cross section constant end with a failure. I can get the OD or the ID to...
