    NX Parts List Component Attributes

    Hi Y'all, So this is frustrating: I apply component attributes in "bulk" which in this case are detail numbers but it seems they do not propagate up the tree so that I've just spent the last 30 minutes applying attribute "DET" at the component level, then at the sub-assembly level, and not it...

    Selection Settings

    Hi Y'all, I'm sure this is a no-brainer but I can't seem to find where I can set my selection filter settings to, say, Control Point, Point On Line, and Quadrant only for example. I've been all thru Customer Defaults but I just don't see it? ~Felicia H. NX 12.0.1.7 "Design all things as...

    NX Attributing: How to pass solid attributes to component attributes

    Hi Y'all, I found some great information in an old thread here but not exactly what I'm looking to do. I have a journal that assigns solid attributes but it does not pass them to component attributes so that Parts List can use them. In other words, if I info>type>solidbody I can see all of...

    NX(12) BOM: How to stop NX from auto-grouping details with the same name?

    Hi Y'all, I've looked at length but can't find a way to stop NX BOM from throwing every "DESCRIPTION" "LOWER FORM STEEL" into the same line item an adding up the quantities. Of course I could name them "LOWER FORM STEEL 01""LOWER FORM STEEL 02" etc. but that's tacky and should be avoidable...

    NX8.5 and Block UI Styler

    At some length, and with forum help I was able to create a dialog box that assigns attributes to solid bodies. This journal (below) calls a primitive input box and I've since had an NX dialog box created with Block UI Styler. Saving the Block UI Styler dialog box outputs a .vb and .dxi file -...

    GD&T symbol sizes quirk

    Hi y'all, I noticed an issue where sometimes the GD&T symbols in the FCF's I create are sized correctly with the tolerance font and sometimes they're very small. If I change to certain fonts (Blockfont is one) they appear correct. The default Arial Unicode MS doesn't. And it's not every...

    NX8.5 to NX9 migration

    Hi y'all, I've had to move to NX9 and moving templates / .pax files has been straightforward as has Customer Defaults but I can't find where 8.5 saves custom drafting standards ASME(My Company) in this case. I have C:\Users\Felicia\AppData\Local\Siemens\NX90 .dpv file for 9.0 but there's...

    Light sources in NX rendering / Visualize Shape

    Hi Y'all, I'm trying to render some images which contain a light source (in this case LED lighting). I haven't found a way to have the sources illuminate. I do not have a license for Advanced Studio so I don't know if it's there. Any help will be most appreciated! ~Felicia H. NX 8.5.3.3

    Cosmetic Chamfer

    Hi Y'all, How would you create a chamfer / flat 0.75 mm across, normal to multiple surfaces? I've used every combination of the chamfer command I can think of and it's not quite the results I'm looking for. I tried offsetting curves in faces without success. In the attached model the green...

    Circular pattern at an angle?

    Hi Y'all, I have a case where I need to create a circular pattern on a face which is 20° to the vector I want the feature on. In other words, I want to create a circular pattern of a feature but have that feature remain congruent to a vector which is not the axis of the circle. How would I do...

    GD&T symbol size in FCF changes based on font type

    Hi y'all, I'm having an intermittent issue where sometimes the GD&T symbols in the FCF's I create are sized correctly with the tolerance font and sometimes they're very small. If I change to certain fonts (Leroy is one) they appear correct. The default Arial Unicode MS doesn't. And it's not...

    Display Center of Rotation

    Hi Y'all, I don't know why such a little thing bothers me as much as it does but sincethis thread is closed I'm starting a new one. This Preferences>Visualization setting is not remembered so it has to be switched off each session. Just wondering if I have a reason to update from 8.5.3.3...

    Company logo on polyellipsoidal surface and radial to center axis

    Hi All, My first post here, be gentle ;) I have modeled a polyellipsoidal lens and need to now model my company logo on the outer surface while also radially about the center axis. Think something like the embossed lettering around the bottom on a glass coke bottle. I'll try to attach the...
