I'm looking to see what others are doing w/r/t creating work instructions (visual, textual, or both) for a fast takt time manufacturing process.
In the area I support our takt times run anywhere from about 9 minutes to 12 minutes. More than likely we are running three or four workbenches and...
Searching brought back nothing so a question is in order.
I have a part which mimics the outer moldline of an multi-piece assembly. I know the weight and the center of gravity of this assembly. I want to put that information into the moldline standalone part. I can figure out what the...
Using the Insert/Design Feature/Threads, is it possible to control the starting point of where the thread cuts into a part?
I wasn't successful using the Extend Thru Start option since the start of my thread didn't cut thru the end of the part. I ended up creating a datum plane offset from...
I have an ProdDef created in Teamcenter. Locally I have a two part assembly where the parts are constrained by assembly constraints. One part is already in Teamcenter. I want to import that assembly as a UG data set under the item in Teamcenter. When I do the import I select the assembly...
As part of our manufacturing assembly process we receive a lot of components in ESD shielding bags. The bags are brand new and upon removal of the component from the bag, the bags are simply thrown away. This seems like a colossal waste to me. In some cases, such as when we have padded ESD...
I have an assembly with about 15 detail parts. Each part is an item in Teamcenter and each has it's own detail drawing in the file. The assembly also has it's own individual drawing.
Now, I'm being asked to take all those detail drawings which are standing alone and make them sheets under the...
In NX6 drafting I'm attempting to attach the leader of a weld symbol to one of my components. I get the symbol to place but I cannot pick the exact point I'd like to place it (midpoint of a line or intersection of two lines for example)
Also, when I move the view, the weld symbol does not...
Really struggling in UG drafting. Placed parts list and autoballooned the drawing. Now I'd like to;
- Create multiple attachment points for the same balloon in one view
- Create additional same numbered balloons in different views.
I'd like everything to be associative if possible. Can't...
Created a drawing of an assembly and then placed a parts list. From the parts list used Auto Balloon command and picked the view(s). Balloons came in but there is no number inside the balloon. Double clicking the balloon to get the properties will allow me to change the size of the ballon but...
In any assembly, is it possible to determine or show what assembly constraints a part may have tied to it? The list of the constraints is understandable but I find myself getting lost and can't easily tie them back to a specific component.

I need to flatten a cone which has a spherical tip. The inside is hollow and the shell thickness is .0035". I've attached an image. I don't have much surfacing or sheet metal experience (in UGNX6 that is). Goal is to make a flat pattern I can cut out into a decal that will wrap around the...
Is it not possible to place a hole/point on the face of an exterior cylindrical surface at the intersection of two planes? See attached.
I'm attempting to put a hole/point on surface 1 where datum 1 and 2 intersect it. I understand there are two possible locations that would be defined. I'll...
I'm creating an assembly sequence and when I go to create a motion sequence for a part that was constrained using assembly constraints, it seems I cannot violate those constraints. Parts that I have assembled w/o constraints can be moved fine.
Any ideas?
NX5.0.3.2
Thanks..

In our production area we have hundreds of ESD shielding bags we deal with on a daily basis. Typically these are just thrown away like yesterday's trash after being used just once. Has anyone found a novel way to deal with these items by either reusing them or using them for another purpose...
I have an assy stored in Teamcenter (V10.0.2.5) which contains Positioning Constraints. When I attempt to retrieve it in UG NX5.0.3, I get an error and the retrieval fails.
"An attempt was made to remove or replace a non-existent reference"
If I retrieve it into UG using "Structure Only" I...
I have an assembly where a base component is fixed by a positioning constraint and second component is placed using Touch, Touch, Distance (Default arrangement, called "Up") with respect to the first component. I now want to flip the second component such that it flips 180 degrees to some new...
I'm in NX5 trying to sequence a fully constrained assembly. I can enter the sequencing workbench by selecting Assembly Sequences from the Assemblies toolbar and then create a new sequence by selecting "Create New Sequence" in the Sequence Navigator. After that however, I can't seem to find the...
Is there a way to set the assembly navigator in NX5 to show the order in which components were added to an assembly. A search of this forum turnd up nothing.
Other than using mating conditions, how can I tell what is constrained to what?
Thanks...

In NX5, I have a feature modeled that is sketched on one one plane and now I'd like to reroute that feature to a datum plane earlier in the model tree. If I "Edit with Rollback" I don't get the option to select a new sketching plane.

I have a hole in a plate dimensioned in the X & Y from two common edges. I'd like to create a pattern of the hole in the X direction such that all the dimensions come from the common edge. In other words, ordinate dimensioning so i have X1.00, X2.25, X2.50, X2.9, etc...
