    NX5 CHECK REQUIREMENTS

    I am trying to setup check requirements using a spreadsheet. For the compare column there is Range(<>), LessThan(<), GreaterThan(>) and Equal(=), but what is the "Phrase" for "less/greater than or equal to"? What about "not equal to"? These options are available when using the Ad Hoc method...

    Part Documentation

    We are looking for a way to add "file notes" our documentation as to what is being done and why in our models. Currently, we are adding notes through annotation. Does anyone have a better way of doing this? We have some ideas, but want to see if anyone else has a better system in place...

    Weight Management for Deformable Parts

    Does anyone have any experience using weight management for deformable parts? How do you get weight management to calculate weight for deformable tubing components at various lengths in an assembly? Thanks, NXdesinger

    REPRESENTATIONS (FACET REF SET): MULTIPLE BODIES

    I am just starting to use representations to create lightweight geometry for use in my models. I am confused as to why there are two faceted bodies as shown in the attachment. I thought the idea was that the "LIGHTWEIGHT" reference set would contain only one faceted body. The faceted...

    Edit Routing Heal Path

    I am trying to edit a heal path in NX 5. I want to move one end of the heal path from one port to another on a different component. All I can come up with is to recreate the geometry. Is this the only way to do this, or is there a way to redefine the port connection? NXdesigner

    NX 5 Alerts

    In NX5 alerts are provided for some of my blend features stating that I have X number of tiny objects. In this specific case I have six identical 90 degree edges within the same blend. The alert tells me I have four tiny objects. (Only four of the six? [ponder]) After doing an "Examine...

    Radial Popups

    Can any of the toolbar icons be added to the radial popups? I have figured out how to modify the existing pop-up file, but would like to add other options such as modeling and drafting application and section toggle to the "view" popup. (NX5.0.3.2)

    Spacepilot NX5 Application Mapping

    Does anyone have any experience/success getting the Spacepilot to switch button mappings when switching application inside NX5. My understanding is that this is possible, but I am unable to find a way to get it setup. Thanks, NXdesigner

    NX 5 Hangs Up

    I've just upgraded to NX 5.0.3.2 and I am having a problem in which NX "stops/hangs" in the middle of doing my work. This is anything from doing a right click, selecting icons or toolbars and selecting a dimension to edit. If I do a "Ctrl+Alt+Del" and escape from the task manager everything...

    NX 5 Toolbar Customization

    I am setting up custom tool bars for NX5. I currenly have a toolbar drop down that runs different macros to place specific rev blocks and flags on the drawing. For now these different rev blocks and flags are identified by a specific bitmap. These bitmaps are very hard to read at the smaller...

    Electronicly Controlled Drain Valve - MFG?

    I am looking for a vendor who supplies an electronically controlled valve that can be used for draining a water tank. Due to the application, the valve needs to fit in an envelope of about a three inch cube (if possible) and have 1/8 NPT fittings. The valve will also need to be FDA approved...

    Sheet Metal Relief

    Does anyone know how to keep a "U" sheet metal relief from cutting beyond the flange in which the relief is being applied? I have an exteded flange that intersects with the U relief (unfolded). When the relief is applied the extended flange also gets trimmed. Can I control the internal relief...

    Quantity Attribute

    Has anyone found a way to give a component such as "glue" in a parts list a quantity of "A/R"? I know that I can overwrite the quantity, but I am looking for a way that I can assign an attribute in the component. This attribute will override the parts list to display "A/R" by default without...
