    errors in editing

    The frequency of these errors is increasing when trying to edit features. This is not part specific and part cleanup does not fix, only closing and re-opening the files and or session. The listing below shows an error very shortly after opening the session and only doing a few edits. Has anyone...

    nx crashing on windows 11

    We recently had to replace a windows 10 laptop running NX 2306 with a windows 11 laptop running NX 2306. Some of the issues we started seeing on the new laptop is the cursor disappearing when using file explorer which seems to be a windows bug. However, NX will close without warning when running...

    hot keys triggered in sketcher

    When typing an expression or formula into an input for dimension in the new sketcher, whenever a letter that is a hotkey is pressed it cancels the input and jumps to the hotkey function. Example, this is similar to what I wanted to type. nth(variable_name,{1,2,3}) what happens is when the "t"...

    reorder parameter tables

    In utilizing parameter tables in library parts it is some times necessary to reorder them so they make more sense. The only way I've found to do this is to export the ones to be moved then importing from file in the new order. Has anyone found an easier way to do this? NX 2306 Windows 10

    sketch fill pattern

    I'm looking to: 1. create a sketch on a flat face of undetermined shape and size 2. face may or may not contain one or more holes (openings) 3. create a boundary with said face edges 4. fill boundary with a pattern of curves that stay within 5. use sketch to create 3d geometry as a...

    journal stopped working between 2212 and 2306

    Tested this again today, this journal runs without issues in 2212 but errors out in 2306. It depends on a specific directory structure and errors out and any project, so it doesn't look like a file system issue. Thanks in advance for any help. 'NX 12 'journal creates burn assembly from...

    compare number to list of numbers in expressions

    To keep it simple I would like to use expressions to find the smallest number in a list that is greater than an input. 1. The number to compare to a list is 35 2. The list of numbers: 22,28,32,37,42,57,63 The above example it would return 37 because that is the smallest number greater than 35...

    relax found relationship issues

    Using the new sketcher in NX 2212 I'm having issues relaxing found relationships. More specifically, two lines that have a found colinear relationship. First select the line and the relationship appears, second select the relationship to relax, third drag the line. Problem is the relationship...

    propagate callout to component

    Can the callout in an assembly with a bom be propagated to the component? The attribute property of the component in the assembly looks like this. And the attribute property in the component itself looks like this. It's most likely something obvious but I'm missing it. Thanks in advance...

    journal language preference

    Kind of a survey/usage question on the language used in journals. Currently I'm programming in visual basic, however, I noticed that journals support python. The main reason in thinking of switching to python is there is another cad package I use only supports python, and someone I know needs...

    clone assembly not updating links

    Start with a part containing only sketches, outline of a plate is one sketch, another sketch only has points for hole centers, all controlled by expressions. Create "Interface Objects" of the sketches in this file and use "Wave Interface Linker" to add the sketches to other files creating plates...

    drafting crosshatch not matching assigned materials

    We have a little down time so I'm trying to up the game a little. A test block was assigned the material of Aluminum 6061, visual properties for the material it shows the crosshatch pattern is Aluminum/Magnesium, so everything should be set there. However, when placing the block in a drawing and...

    journal to id body from face selection for extrusion

    Sorry, the title is not exactly clear as to what I'm trying to accomplish. In writing a journal to extrude the face of a solid, selecting the face is easy, adding a second pick to select the body for the boolean is easy. What I'd like to do is with one pick is select the face to extrude...

    reorder expression group

    Is there a way to control the order of expression groups? I know when right selecting the name column the expressions themselves can be reordered, but not the groups. It would help in editing certain expressions in default parts that are used over and over again. I've already done all I can with...

    System.Drawing.Color question

    We recently purchased a snap license and for an old grip hand it's great. In creating objects and assigning a color using System.Drawing.Color I'm a little confused by it in that it doesn't seem to be connected at all to the system color pallet. Color names from the pallet aren't valid and it...

    journal to create tubes from sketch

    Our servers are down today but my imagination isn't. I've been contemplating for some time creating a journal to select a sketch and create a separate tube for each curve in the sketch. It would be nice to do this with manual selection but the curves are neither tangent or contiguous. Though not...

    algorithmic modeling

    Has anybody used algorithmic modeling and what has been your experience? Is it worth the cost of the license, has it reduced/improved modeling times? These are the questions we are asking. tia NX 1899 Windows 10

    multiple lines of text through journaling

    I would like to use a journal create multiple lines of text on a face from attributes. My issue is the code below was lifted from another program and I would like to loop through it passing the text and position without having to brute force repeat it for every line. It seems like it should be...

    old sketcher interface in nx 1980?

    Can the old sketcher be used in NX 1980? We've just jumped from 1903 to 1980 and some of our old sketches in configurable part files are acting completely wrong in the new sketcher. Until we figure this out is there a switch/variable that can be set to use the old sketcher? So far I've found...

    edit expression check

    It's easy to create an expression check, but how can they be deleted or edited? The image shows a list of acceptable values so the checks can be displayed, but how to edit the list? I know there are other ways to do this, right now it's just an exercise in trying to find out the limitations of...
