Is it possible to link an animation to a motion. I noticed animation has a variable FrameNumber and I suppose motion has one to, Time maybe? But I have no clue if they can be linked.
Is it possible to create some sort of friction of damping between plannar objects? The whole mechanism works fine except for one part that is pushed forward over a flat surface. The path of the part is not exactly defined, only begin and end point are known. Sometimes it moves close to what one...
I'm modifying a part I've made earlier. This part is some sort of base part of which other parts are made. Today, after deleting a thread, save fails with the message "a deleted or invalid class id was used". I've been thinking about redrawing the part, but it is so complicated that it will take...
The previous thread was closed, so I am starting a new one.
Are licences available for non students, too? In particular I am referring to nonprofit and/or educational purposes.
"Part and assembly files created with NX Student Edition are tagged and cannot be opened in production versions of...
Is it possible to use the true shading editor settings for the HQ image? The true shading looks much better than anything I can come up with myself in the HQ image. But also it is so much faster!!! I would like to make a turn table animation from this true shading editor, but I don't know how. I...
Is it possible to have a single exp file that several parts can make use of? For example I want to change the diameter of the camshaft in the file and I want both the camshaft.prt and the bearing.prt to change according to this file.
Does anybody know where I can find a tutorial about the "Create Animation" menu in NX. I'm using NX6. I have the documentation installed, but the search option doesn't work in both FF and IE. I've been fiddling around with it for two hours or so and at one point I managed to use a path and look...
Is there a way to change the root directory of an assembly and still read the assembly? I can not use search folders for the mono parts because I have to fix all search folders everytime the root changes.
Thanks.

Thread hole to fix a pin goes through whole body if pin hole is smaller than thread.
I have modeled a cylinder symmetrical around CSYS. There's a hole through it (like a tube) with the CSYS point as center. I want to add a thread hole perpendicular to the hole also with the CSYS...
Hi, This is probably a long shot, but I'm in search of a 3D model of a straight bevel gear pair (40/10 teeth).
So far I've only found 2 suppliers that provide CAD models that show all teeth. And only SDP has the correct number of teeth for my application. However, the SDP model does not match...
In an earlier (closed) thread the following question is asked:

Good God. I've spent the last 50 minutes trying to reposition a component in NX6. I'm used to NX3 that has the Reposition method attached to the context menu of the right mouse button. NX6 though seems to have something similar called Move Object in the Edit Menu, which does display some...
I'm trying to import a sketch in a part. Unfortunately this import is on a 90° angle with the original part. Now, in NX3 I could use transform to rotate it. It would ask to transform parents too, I would select OK and that was it.
But in NX6 Ctrl-T does not have this rotate feature anymore. And...
I need to create a disk with a lot of bumps and notches on the circumference to act like a coding disk. (As they used to be applied in washing machine timers.)
My first guess was to create a sketch and use a circular array of lines to indicate differnt time slots. Then extrude and remove bumps...
Is it possible to import a sketch in drafting? I've used this sketch to create the model and I need the exact dimensions in my final technical drawing. I've imported the model, but this proved extremely difficult to use. I've been editing (with basic curves) and deleting lines for several days...
Hi, I need to create a casting for a piece of an engine. The front and back sides are described by (rather complicated) curves. Though, when I try to make an object (using sweep/loft like functions in unigraphics) I get many creases in it. I've managed to create smooth objects between simple...
