    PDF Drawing of PMI View hiding partial leaders

    I’m having an issue with the Balloon leaders in the our released PDF in TeamCenter shown on the right side, of the attached image, being hidden by the Model. The Pic of the model looks good shown on the left. I have the Display PMI through Shaded Model checked but it doesn’t work on the released...

    Can't change Crazy Colors for Solid Bodies in Specification Drawing Model

    I just deleted an old step file for a OEM part and imported a new one for a revision. The Model file is all one color but when I look at the same model used in the Specification Drawing it has the Crazy Colors shown in the attachment. I tried selecting the bodies and changing colors with "Edit...

    PMI Section View in Assembly Sequence

    I created a new Assembly Sequence from a PMI Section view and the new sequence showed the parts sectioned from PMI. Problem is I wanted to show another part sectioned but even creating a new sequence still shows the original PMI section even if I delete all the PMI views. I can't seem to delete...

    Wrap existing solid flat Label around Cylinder

    I saw a few examples on how to do this on this site, mostly wrapping curves, I did see a mention of maybe doing it with a sheet metal bend, and that work great! So I thought I'd share. Just convert the label sheet metal and use the bend feature, sketch a line on the back middle of the label, set...

    Drafting Question on view created with "View Break"

    I'm on version 1863. The Drawing below shows a couple of views created with "View Break" which by the way works VERY slick. However when I tried to create "Section View" to show whats shown in Detail D I was unable to edit the section line or the boundary of the view. Got a few propagation...

    Error with Centroid of Measure Bodies calculation

    I'm designing and fabricating a driveway gate for my Brother in Law and I was using Measure Bodies to calculate how many counterweights to balance the load at the pivot point. You can see in the second pic below the Centroid with Measure Bodies is very close to the pivot point. At fabrication it...

    Studio Rendering Part Materials

    I ended up getting a nice rendering but now my part is very slow to reload and display even when I set my display back to shaded with edges. One issue may be the hundreds of duplicate Studio materials in Part. I kept assigning them from the System materials tab. It seems I can only delete them...

    Journal with multiple User Input Boxes in one form

    I'd like to simply allow the user to input several variables in one form. I found the command below but it seems to only allow one input at a time. answer = NXInputBox.GetInputString("prompt", "title bar caption", "initial text") Is the only way to do this thru Winforms and the Block UI...

    NXOpen Help!!!

    I'm having a lot of trouble finding documentation that clearly explains input for functions. For example the NXOpen.Features.HelixBuilder. I created the code below with the help of the recorder and it works, but I can't find any documentation on how to input a value to "SizeLaw" for example you...

    Journal to Create Knurl on Cylindrical Face

    I'm trying to write a Journal that would create a Knurl on any cylindrical face, like shown below, with just a few inputs. Manually I create a plane tangent to the face, sketch a curve, wrap it to face, create another sketch, sweep that sketch with the wrapped curve, mirror sweep and then a...

    Open TeamCenter Item from NX Navigator

    Seems like you should be able to click on a component in the NX navigator and open that Item in TC. Only way I've found is to right click the component copy the name from properties and paste it in TC item search. Years back when I worked for this company I wrote a grip that would suck out the...

    NX12 WCS Origin changes workpart

    Something new and annoying in NX12, whenever I select an entity for wcs origin in an assembly, it changes the workpart to owning entity. Any way to turn that off?

    One tiny area with high stress

    I'm no expert in FEA. But I'm trying to analyze a weldment by just uniting all the solids into one. I'm using NX design simulation. Everything looks good except for where the thin blade corner meets the tubing. Can I assume this isn't a problem? Also my Nodal stresses are much higher in that...

    No Templates available for Design Simulation Application

    I'm running NX12 on a Blade Server with Teamcenter. When I try and start the Design Simulation I get the following message: Apparently I'm locked out of that option in Customer Defaults: I do know where my profile is stored and can customize my interface but I don't know how to create and...

    Balloon Qty attribute

    Is there any way to set the 2X next to the balloon to be tied to the actual qty in the partslist? So when the partslist updates so does the qty next to the balloon. This seems like double dimensioning to me but it's our standard.

    Creating a Coincidence Constraint by picking geometry with Macro

    I'm trying to add a Coincidence Constraint by picking geometry in a product after adding a component. I first recorded a macro and then added a user select to pick a cylindrical face. It creates the Constraint but it has the exclamation point next to it. Below is the code. Any help is...
