    JRB's old fastener libraries?

    @johnrbaker I'm looking for a copy of the old "fasteners_english.zip" that John Baker created, prior to the current Siemens Machinery Libraries. I found a copy of the "fasteners_metric.zip" that I stashed away, but not the english. Anyone have a copy they would share? -Dave NX 12...

    Finish symbol?

    Any one know what this symbol is? It seems like I've seen it before, but not in recent time. It seemss like it might be a surface finish, or something? If you recognize it, do you know what spec its from? -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

    NXcustom with Windchill

    New job, and they use Windchill, along with Siemens NX. I'd like to setup Rob Cohon/Gerritt Koelewijn's NXcustom, so all users are using common standards, part templates, etc. I've done it in native, and with Teamcenter, but Windshill is a new one. Has anyone done this? I'm assuming...

    NX with a Flow brand waterjet

    Is anyone using a Flow brand water jet, with NX? I know the Flow uses a non G-code controller, so outputting directly is impossible (if it is, do tell!). So, we create flat patterns in NX, and then export a DXF. This still requires cleaning in the Flowpath software, to remove extra lines...

    Mold Wizard?

    Anyone using mold wizard for carbon layup parts? does it have a use there, or is it primarily for injection moulds? -Dave NX 9, Teamcenter 10

    Question about NX on Mac OS

    I've been asked about this, but I'm not a Mac guy...how does NX work on a Mac? From reading, it looks like it's actually the unix/linux version of NX running on X11, on top of the Mac OS? Does this make it laggy, or other quirks? 3D motion controller issues? -Dave NX 9, Teamcenter 10

    B-size plotter/printer

    NX 9 TC 10.1 We are looking at some new printer/plotter hardware, something closer to desk size, that we can get 1:1 B-size drawings. I know setting up a "printer" to work as a "plotter" can be a headache sometimes, has anyone had good results, with minimal headache with anything? This...

    NX Part Numbers in Teamcenter

    I'm curious on companies using NX and Teamcenter, that do NOT use the Teamcenter created ID number (aka DB_Part_No). Company history is the use of a "smart" part number, which tells the user the car type, year, and general location the part is used. Most in the company wish to maintain this...

    LH thread designation

    Other than ASME B1.1-2003, are there any specs that denote the "LH" at the end of a thread callout, to specify it is a left handed thread? -Dave NX 9, Teamcenter 10

    Solidworks to NX/Tc translation(or migration)

    We are moving from Solidworks using their "vault" PDM system, to NX 9 and Teamcenter 10. What I'm looking for is some best practice info, or how to on other companies migration from SW to NX/Tc. Has anyone used the migration tool that Siemens now has? we are talking with Siemens tomorrow...

    Migrating from SW to NX

    Has anyone migrated from Solidworks using the "Vault" to NX with Teamcenter? If so, do you have any best practices on moving the data? So far we have been using STEP in an attempt to keep assemblies working. NX 9 Tc 10 -Dave NX 7.5

    Parts list/BOM standard

    Is there a standard that covers how a parts list or BOM on a drawing should be done? From the descriptions, I *think* ASME y14.34 is what I want, but I'd like to verify. Thanks, Dave -Dave NX 7.5

    Blind hole for studs, standard?

    I'm sure there is, but I'm not finding it my stuff...is there a standard for how to end a blind hole for a stud? -Dave NX 5.0.6.3mp7

    Aerospace Standard, "/1/"

    I'm looking at a copy of AS1656, of which I am missing sheet 3 of 3. The spec is for a"Fitting end, threadless coupling-ferrule or sleeve", aka a Wiggins. On the field of the drawing, and in the dimension table, there are symbols like "/1/" and "/2/" and "/3/". Some are after a radius...

    Save outside of Teamcenter

    NX 5 TC 2007 I've been asked to find out if it is possible, to save the entire Teamcenter database of NX files, outside of TC, ie so they can be used in native, while maintaining assembly links. I know you can save a part, or an assembly using the "Teamcenter Integration" tools, but in this...

    FWD to the left? (automotive)

    This question came up, and I'm wondering if there is some SAE, ANSI, or other standard to support it. In my history of drafting and design, I have always drawn the side view, with FWD to the left, AFT to the right...this was dictated in the company drafting manual when I worked on jet engines...

    Flow straightener

    I'm trying to scheme up a flow straightener, and I'm sure there is some "rule of thumb" for the length of the straightener vs. the ID of the flow path, but I haven't found anything yet. Any thoughts on this? if fluid type matters, I'm dealing with water. Thanks, Dave -Dave NX 5.0.6.3mp7

    Abbreviation for "location"

    I don't have a copy of Y14.38, but can someone tell me if the proper abbreviation for "location" is LOC? I've been using that for years, but a coworker thinks it's LOC'N. Thanks. -Dave Everything should be designed as simple as possible, but not simpler.

    Symmetrical Dimension

    I just saw something "new" on a drawing, and before I question it(and the detailer), I'd like to know if this is common, or from some standard. I've done a search, a google search, and looked thru y14.5, and have not found it. The part on the drawing is symmetrical, so all of the dimensions...

    Parts list question

    I'm having a bit of a discussion with another engineer, regarding which should be used in the parts list/balloons on a drawing. He uses numbers for pieces in a weldment, and letters for assembled items (anything that can be removed in a non-destructive way). This results in some drawings...
