    NX 11 on Win 11 Pro - Not backward compatible with Win 10 Pro

    Was having some NX performance issues on Win 11 OS (Slow wave link updates) Decided to take the data back to an older Win 10 machine and see if the issues ported over or not. Turns out I can't even work with it on the Win 10 machine. It loads but I'm getting a "signal 11" error. No solids...

    Drafting Files with mixed units failure, NX11

    I just reinstalled NX on a new system and the first drafting task I had was mixed units. To be more specific, I'm drafting one part only, not an assembly. The base part in mm, the drafting seed file is inch. When you do this for the first time after an install, you're presented with a dialogue...

    I have to change the colors of solids and sheets of child parts all the time. In order to so, you have to set the following. * A geometry filter before selecting * Check the "Apply changes to owning part" box in the dialogue If you forget either one, the result is only effective in the...

    I've found that all my drafting seed files have switched to the "AmdtSymbols" font. Which is chaos! Even the UCS icon is using this font now in model space Anyone else ever have something like this happen? I've been using NX for 25 years... NEVER seen this one! TIA for any feedback Dave...

    NX 11, Component "Ghost" trips up save-as

    I get the following error... "A File with the same base name already exists" But it doesn't, not in the folder, not anywhere in the design. Simply trying to save 156.prt (Current) 156__01.prt (Versioned) This has happened before and be a real nuisance at times. I suspect at some point the...

    Create flexible Search Path in KRX file for Re-use parts? NX 11

    Below is a Typical KRX file for the Re-Use Library. As you build your own library over the years sometimes you want to give it a face lift. But when you change the folder structure, the parts already deployed into jobs cant find their parent part. so you need to re-link them as you run across...

    Making The Expression "Default Group" Active with Journal, NX 11

    I've put together an extensive expression system for reporting dimensional data. When creating / importing expressions into virgin part files, the inability to do much with expression groups in journals has been frustrating. But I've found acceptable work arounds for getting most of my...

    Converting expression numbers to string format, problem with differing units

    If you have an inch part file with a mm expression and format it to string, it converts it back to the part files units. Ex: Metric Part file Expr1 = 3 inches, format to string = "76.2" Ex: Inch Part file Expr1 = 3 mm, format to string = ".118" I just want the number shown to to be...

    NX 1872 So slow after being in session for 1/2 a day.

    It seems like performance spirals further and further down over time. To the point when all I'm doing is copying a bolt in a small assembly and the CPU is pushed at 35% for 2 minutes trying to do it. I don't get it... but it does seem like it may have gotten worse with the Win 10 1903 update...

    Editing Expressions with Journal using Winforms

    Below is some code I got from NX Journaling.com I've modified it to work with the specific expression I'd like to change but it's limited to the displayed work part only. For it to be useful I need to also be able to use it at the assembly level. Select 1 or more parts and apply the input to...

    Inheriting part Attributes into Drafting file attributes for notes

    I'm doing this successfully now for populating Title Blocks and notes. Example attribute format in the drafting file "DB_DWG_TEMPLATE_CL_CHECKED_BY" Question is, if you can inherit to notes, why can't you inherit directly in the attribute value?? If you can do this, the information can be...

    NX 1851 Bulk Editor: Attribute Arrays now display in the "List" Format

    Which basically means if you have have multiple attributes stored in your array, your now going to see all of them in your display column. That's not good for us because we store all kinds of extra part data in arrays, simply because it doesn't clutter up the bulk editor. Things like Parts...

    NX 1847, Can't delete attribute & roll back to "No Value" status

    Ran across this using PLIST_IGNORE_SUBASSEMBLY. I would traditionally use the following to show or hide a part in the parts list. 1 = Hide No Value = Show But now, once you place a value in an attribute, you can't roll it back to No Value. Even a no entry puts you parts in a Hide status. You...

    changes component to active work part by default. If you want to place smart curves or datums on a component it won't allow it. The part you touch becomes active and the feature goes into that part. There must be a customer default for this. Dave Automotive Tooling / Aircraft Tooling /...
