    Defining Spiral with Law Curves

    Hi, Since, I am blocked from various image sites, I will try to spell out my delima. I have defined 2 points. One point has a radius of: 4.828, which is my starting point. The other point has a radius of: 5.084 If a line is drawn connecting the 2 points, this will represent my...

    Defining Helix Law Curve(s)

    Hi, This partially in reference with my, "Create Spiral Groove" topic. I need to create a spiral pattern to use as my sweep guide & the Helix curve feature seems to be the best feature to use. I have start & stop points, ID & the # of turns required that will define my groove pattern...

    Define Models

    Hi, I would like to create a model that works similar to a model with a Part Family Table in it when adding it into an assembly. However, I want to be able to enter some variable dimensions, such as ID, OD or Hole Dimension Angle for a part & based off of these entries, the rest of the model...

    Create Spiral Groove

    Hi, It's been a while since I've done this. I need to make a spiral groove onto a tappered bore. I attempted to use the Helix feature to create my spiral pattern, but when I sweep it, my groove is not going along the tappered face. How can I make the spiral pattern that goes along the...

    Interpart Expressions of Part Families?

    Hi, I created a component & created a part family table in it. This component design intent is to drive an upper level component, in which a few more features will be added onto it. Is it possible to have inter-part expressions or links between part family tables that are in two different...

    Part Family Contstraints

    Hi, I'm creating some standard models & part families seems to work well for pre-defined dimensions. Is it possible to have user enter values for specified dimensions or constraints, rather than going through a list of pre-defined criteria, then selecting desired component? Also, is it...

    Old & New UG File Naming

    HI, Just curious... If a company uses the Component ID as its drawing UG file name & now wants to create parametric models for them. In the history, the company only had drawing files which is used in multiple systems. Now, that they want to create models, the company is trying to...

    Standarizing a Model?

    Hi, I want to create a "Standard Model", which will basically look the same, but the size will vary. I think I want to use Part Families, but I have forgotten how it fully works or is created. Perhaps, I want to use something else. Basicaly, I have a bunch of cylindrical ranging from 5"...

    Grip Programs

    Hi, Where can I find some self-help or training material on grip programs. I would like to create a grip program to link the title block with Teamcenter & it's been quite a while since I've done this. Also, where can I find some info. on creating part families. Thanks Jason Misztal...

    Creating a "Solid" Appearing Line

    Hi, Our vendor uses Adobe Illistrator & I am told that Illistrator accepts AutoCAD 2000 '.dxf' files fairly well - with distorting or blowing up the imported image. We don't have AutoCAD 2000 & our files are converted to '.dxf' from Unigraphics, Pro-E or Medusa. When we create a "solid"...

    Extruding Projected Curve

    Hi, I have a cylinder body in which I projected a sketch profile onto it. How can I get the projected curve to extrude or subtract onto the cylinder body and maintain the projected profile? Thanks Jason Misztal Power Tool CAD Designer Marquardt Switches Inc. www.switches.com Syracuse, NY

    Import

    Hi, I created an assembly in UG, along with some text. I need to export the file into a 'stp' and 'iges' to send to customer who uses Pro-E. I have no probllem creating 'stp' or 'iges' file. However, when opening in Pro-E, the text is not showing up on the model. How do I import a 'stp'...

    Spring Blows Up Section View

    Hi UG World.... I have a spring, which is (suppose) to be a solid body. When I create a section view, the view will not update. I believe it's because UG is seeking the spring surfaces as multiple faces & is getting "confused" on how to update it. The spring model that I'm using is a...

    Blending?

    Hi UG or CAD World..... I'm using UG NX2. I'm attempting to make a part that needs some precision type blends in it. Looking from the side view, the top surface in which I need to blend is kind of a "S" shape. Along the top edges, I need to have a 2.5 R on it, which is fairly easy to do...

    Raised Text in UG Model Mode

    Hi Everyone, Is there a "simple & quick" method of creating text onto a model, without having to "sketch out" each & every letter to extrude it? For example, if I want to put the company logo onto the model, I don't want to sketch out each & every letter, just so I can extrude them later...

    Making a spring in UG?

    Hi, How do you make a sring in UG (NX2)? I thought there was a "spring" feature in NX2. Thanks. Jason Misztal CAD Designer Marquardt Switches, Inc. Cazenovia, NY

    Master Model Concept Definiiton

    Hi UG World, I know what the master model concept is, but I forgot on how UGS defines it. Does anyone know out here? Thanks Jason Misztal CAD Designer Marquardt Switches, Inc. Cazenovia, NY

    Determining Maximum Material Evenlope?

    Hi, I'm attempting to determine the Maximum Material Evenlope of an assembly may help. Here's my situation: I have an assembly with the parts in it. I am redesigning one of the components, but first need to determine my "allowable" space. I figure if I determine the Maximum Material...

    How to use Extract Region?

    Hi, Who out here knows how to use the "extract region" feature within UG? I'm trying to determine the Maximum Material Eevenlope (MME)of an existing design so that I can create my design within the regions. I think the extract region feature will help me define my MME, but perhaps, there's...
