    Bonus tolerance in LMC

    Hi, I have heard that we get a Bonus tolerance for both MMC & LMC. It is perfectly clear to me how a Bonus tolerance gets added to the position tolerance of a hole, while it starts to "get bigger" from MMC towards LMC. But how is this possible with LMC of a hole (See the attached excerpt)...

    Dimensions do not fail ever...

    Hi, In one of our customer drawings, we had about 25 dimensions associated with different features. We noticed that while many features have shifted positions, the dimensions did not fail at all. Instead of broken dimensions, they still show up as intact dimensions. Any settings to resolve...

    Mass or Weight?

    Hi NXers, Have you ever noticed that Assembly navigator tree (ANT) uses Weight with the units kg? In my understanding Mass is a fundamental quantity of a body (in kg, grams, etc.) and weight is a force on that body ( by mother earth literally) with units as Newton - N or kgf. Mass would remain...

    Work locally on Nx 8 - Teamcenter

    Hi, We have Nx 8.0 working on Teamcenter 10. The problem we face is it takes a long time for operations like Renaming, Revising etc. CATIA has this facility to work *locally*, even though it is linked to Teamcenter. In CATIA when we check out assemblies it is actually keeping a downloaded copy...

    Mirror Body (Wave link)

    Hi, I have a question about Mirror Body (Wave link). Say, Y.001 (Part number is Y, 001 is revision) is a symmetric opposite of X.001; Now X.001 has been bumped up to X.002. Is there any method to replace X.002 in place of X.001 inside Y.001, without assembling it under Y.001? I am aware that...
