    NPT thread angle in the drawing views

    Hello, I've been told there is a trick to change the default NPT thread angle in the drafting views. By default it is 3° but we need to change it to 1.7899106° Maybe a UGII environment variable ? See thread561-335093 Thank you "My english is bad ? That's why i'am french."

    Can't find the 2 last constraints in a closed spline sketch.

    Hi there, On NX 9.0.3.5 I am trying to constrain a closed spline within a sketch. I added dimension for each thought point but they are always 2 constraint needed. I usually really good a this but here I don't understand why NX require 2 more. Even the "continuous Auto dimensioning" can't...

    Break out section view : How to keep boundary curves associative to model ?

    Hi NXiens, NXiennes Under NX 9.0.3.5 I am creating a "Master drawing" and want to put as much as possible automation in it. All is almost OK, when my assembly is changing, most of the dimensions and notes are well placed. But I am facing a problem with the "Break-Out Section view". The...

    Assembly Constraints Solver

    Hi all, I have a large assembly, 494 objects, 500 assembly constraints (AC), but a lot are pattern. I am grouping the AC according to status. Error (0) Warning (0) Info (0) OK (500) In this assembly, I have a flange cover (pastel orange), place with two constraints (orange): - concentric -...

    "Save as" status bar refresh bug.

    Under NX9.0.1.3 Look at the status bar when doing a "save as" (outside TeamCenter). http://youtu.be/SVy73xYjF6Y I have this refresh bug on two completely different workstation, one with a FireGL, one with a Quadro. I even now upgrade my Quadro graphic driver for the one certifier for NX9...

    Critical thing you MUST know about "deformable part" !

    Dear all, NX 9.0.1.3 I discover something important in "Deformable part" this morning. I have to share it here. Maybe it was already explained or reported, I don't know, here it is. We have and "arrow". Manufactured flat, from a sheet metal, but then wrapped on a cylindrical faces in our...

    "You're trying to move a fixed component" ???

    NX9.0.1.3 Wasted time trying to figure out what does prevent NX of moving a sub-assembly. Watch de video below. 1 - adding a new sub-assembly so, there are no assembly constraints ATT ALL involving it. 2 - try to move it with "handles" "You're trying to move a fixed component" ??? 3 - maybe...

    Callout display a [...] in parts list

    Hi there, Discovery/Learning the Parts List feature (Inside TC). I'am now able to select component I'd like to see / not see in the table. I know how to select the fileds / attributes I want. Good. The "CallOut" thing is still obscur. Are they randomly chosen ? How to re-attribute them ? I've...

    Does "Fix at Current Timestamp" stops Linked Face to Synchronize ?

    Hi folks, A question about "linked face". We are under NX 9.0.1.3 and TC 9 As we activate the "Fix at current Timestamp", the concern "Linked face" stops to synchronize. Does using the "Fix at current Timestamp" should stop the synchronization ? Can I understand this "fix" as - we are fixing...

    NX 9 : How to Direct edit value & Stops using "Formula Editor" !

    Since upgraded to NX9, when we are using a formula for any dimension field, we have to use the "Formula Editor" to modify it. I can understand it's a good thing if this value is really compute or conditional and used in a "Master Part" so lower level drafters don't mess up. But, as i'am...

    Body measurement lost associativity

    Where are manufacturing splitted fittings to be wheelded on pipes. On your drawing, we have to specify the weight of the upper, lower and full model. (for handling / shipping) For that, i'am using the body measurement feature and fill a table with his expression. When we are reworking the...

    How to "replace component" in a multi model drawing ?

    Hi there, I'am creating a 24" device starting from an already existing 12" I did a clone assembly for that but forgot some drawings. I'am now mixing files and replace component, everything is fine until this. I'am having a drawing file with 2 models (Master model concept) : - 1 sheet for the...

    NX9 Drafting : Hiding one side dimension extension & arrow become too long.

    Hello, Is there a way to add a direct "extension & arrow display toggles" on the quick dimension options ? Because hiding them in NX9 became much much much longer than in NX8. We really liked the "Annotation style" panel in NX8.0 It was very visual an intuitive. Nearly all cosmetic settings in...

    NX9 Drafting : Can no longer grab dimension if placed over the "solid area"

    If I place dimension over the "solid area" of the model. It become really difficult to select it as the "infer" selection tool give a kind of priority to the solid model. I have to wait for the "QuickPick" and select the dimension. After that, I double clic and I'm able to change options but...

    NX9 Drafting : Cylindrical face "Rapid" dimensioning !?

    Hello, Upgraded from NX8.0.3 to NX9.0.1.3 during the week-end. In NX 8, the "inferred" dimensioning tool was smart enough to detect cylindrical face and place his diameter. "Fly over" the cylincal face, select it, place the dimension. 2 clics and it's done.[thumbsup2] In NX 9, the "Rapid"...

    NX8.0 : How to script expressions as PTC/Creo doing ?

    Hello there, Is there a way in NX8 to script expressions values as the PTC Creo "Relations" doing ? I found that more conveniant if you have a lot of IF conditions. Ex, in Creo : if idtalf_xwf == 0 angif_xwf=30 cd1wxf=epf_wf*tan(angif_xwf) idtalf_xwf=2*epf_wf+2 talf1_wf=talf_wf...

    Unable to deform

    Dear All, I have a problem using deformable part. I'am designing an arrow, cut in a sheetmetal, used to indicate the flow direction on our product. Most of the time it is screwed on cylindrical face. In my part they are two solid. A flat one, for drawing purpose. And a curved one, made by...

    Automatic Drawing Update / Lock detail view / Dimension always well placed

    Hi, I'am in charge of designing "Master model" in my company. (Yes, that's soooo coool !) Most of our product are using the same shape and differ by their dimensions. So, ideal for 3D parametric modeling. No issue with the 3D and i'am using the "Visual Editor" to have a user friendly interface...
