I'm coming back to NX after running Catia for the last 7 years. There was a function in NX, I believe was called "selective loading", that was essentially a "categories" for the assembly navigator. It allowed the user to created nodes in the assy navigator that allowed the user to open certain...
I have scoured my copy of ASME Y14.5 1994 looking for the dimensioning for multiple holes that uses a BASIC hole to hole dimension x the number of holes = the sum of the BASIC dimension x the number of holes. I have been told that it is legal, but I can't find it in the standard. For my money...
Way back in UG version 16 I designed a complex dynamic assembly in which I used logic statements (if-then, etc.) Does that function still exist in NX? Also, as I recall, UG had its own format for the various statements.
Thanks for any info on this.
I have always seen 3 decimal places in the feature frame when using the inch standard. It seems worthless to include the superfluous zeroes in the dimension, just for the purpose of consistency with the feature frame. For instance, the dimension is .xx, the positional tolerance is .xx. Does...
I've been on a new job for 3 weeks: finally feeling comfy; set up all my custom toolbars the way I like them, etc.
Now I am informed that I have been working on the wrong server; so, I launch from the "new" server, and my toolbars are non-existent. I'm sure they are saved somewhere in a file...
Is it just me, or is the Measure toolbar not available in Product Structure mode? I look in the toolbar list and don't see it.
Also, the Constraints and Manipulation toolbars have disappeared and don't show in the toolbar list. WUWT?
Thanks

Hello,
Is it possible to use layering to prevent certain items from appearing in drawing views? I have a top assembly that interfaces with several subassemblies. Each of these subassemblies occupies the same space, but at different intervals in the fabrication process. I would like to show a...
I'm working at a small firm that doesn't have a PDM system; all the Catia files are stored on a common server that can be accessed by almost everyone. When I open a file and it has changed since the last time I saved it, I need to determine whether someone else made changes. Is there a history...
When I create a constraint, the plus/minus symbol appears at the end of the dimension. The symbol appears in sketches and in assembly constraints. It doesn't affect anything, apparently, but is just annoying. The default setting in drafting mode is to show dim's without the symbol. How can I...
I am designing an assembly fixture that will require a welded tool steel sub assembly. What is the best tool steel for welding? Anything that is heat treatable to 60-65 RC will suffice for my application. Thanks.
I am checking the drawings for some mylar inspection gages that are intended to verify profile and hole locations on flat parts by laying the part on top of the mylar. The engineer specified the holes to be .1285 -.1385 dia and true pos'n w/in .020 RFS. I know that the .020 positional tolerance...
Hello,
I am working on a large shipping container (8'wide x 9' long) that requires a seal between the lid and base. The sealing surface area will see approx 1.7 psi. I am considering neoprene, but can't find any info on compression ratings. I need to determine what durometer of hardness will be...
When I exit the file (any file) and come back later, all my toolbars and preferences have reverted to the "out of the box" settings. I changed the customer defaults to reflect my preferences, but the files still open with the default settings. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Greetings All,
I just re-read a post from last fall (thread561-186833)discussing the problem of exporting stp files while maintaining the assembly structure (using NX4). It still doesn't work for me. Does anyone out there know how to do this?
Thanks in advance,

Greetings all,
A colleague of mine, using a 3D Connexion Space Navigator (hockey puck) and NX4, is learning to use sketcher. Every time he launches the program, it locks into 2D mode. He made some inquiries and was informed that this is an irreversible function of the 3D Connexion drivers for...
Hello All,
I'm trying to create a script. The "Help" menu describes how to DEFINE SCRIPT, RENAME SCRIPT and DELETE SCRIPT, but it doesn't explain how to Create Script.
In the Define/Execute Script menu, after inputting a Script Name for the proposed script, I can't get it to actually save the...
Hello All,
Before I ask my question, let me preface by saying that I never know if a particularly annoying idiosyncracy is the result of changes in the latest UG release or changes that have been implemented by the local Administrators.
Here's the question: When a component is selected on the...
Hello All,
Great one, this. I have a large plate with 121 holes in circular array. Attempting to put a Full Bolt Circle Utility Symbol on this array, the function maxes out at 100 centerlines. Pop-up error message says: Maximum number of associated objects for the centerline has been reached."...
Hello all,
Working with assembly files, when I save this error appears:
The following parts failed to save causing the overall save operation to fail:
While saving "file name":

At first I...
Hello all,
Does anyone know how to permanently modify a crosshatch AFTER it has been created.
Here's the problem:
After creating a section view containing several members, coincidentally some of the members are at the same angle as the crosshatching, so that the crosshatching is either parallel...
