    AUTO BAD-LOONS !

    I logged an ER exactly 6 years ago, To get the auto balloon function improved, but it still hasn't been fixed. The problem is that the auto balloons are NOT associative. If you re attach the leader to a different component an update will NOT fix the call out number, as it will do if you use...

    REFILE ALL PARTS

    Hi, I'm ready to upgrade our system from NX8 to NX10, is there any need to do a refile on all the parts? I did it when we moved from NX6 to NX8, so we've done the lightweight thing..

    journal runnig in assembly

    Could someone please help modify this journal to run in an assembly. I've got hundreds of files to run it on, and it'd be much better if the journal could run from the top level assembly, looking for all files with this expression, and adding the linked attribute accordingly. This is so I can...

    Can someone help me get this journal to work in NX9. It works fine with NX8, but they've changed some code. see image for error code.

I found these in an old thread..... part_name_format :- (([0-9]+-)|([0-9]+))(-([A-HJ-NPRT-Y]{0,2})|) part_name_match :- \1(-([A-HJ-NPRT-Y]{0,2})|) part_name_substitution :- \1...

    steel section change journal

    [2thumbsup]It seems that a change in steel stock standard is looming on us.. We have many parts and assemblies which use imperial section RHS and SHS. Suppliers now are starting to get stock in metric. Most of these parts are created from a part family and use 2 expressions "height" and...

    journal help

    Could someone help me with a simple jourmal file. I'd like to "up-rev" my drafting attribute "REV" with a simple push of a button. I'd think its a simple "if - then" type thing, where if the value is ORIG then it changes to A, if A then B, if C then D, all the way to Z (omitting I,O,Q,U) , then...

    NX9 journal help

    I've tried recording a journal and macro to fill a drafting attribute for DESCRIPTION without much success. Could any of you expert journal-ists mind helping me to achieve a nice solution. It'd be nice if the journal would present the user with a dialog box in which they type a drawing...

    Disable spaceball in session

    When i have a part which takes a very long time to update, it freezes the spaceball in other sessions i have open, is there a way i can disable the spaceball in this session before i start the update, so it won't upset its operation in the other sessions?

    Part number as note or balloon

    I'm doing a drawing in NX8, it's a large assembly, but i'm only doing a few simple assembly views to aid the fitters. I don't have a parts list on the drawing, but i'd like to balloon, or text note with leader, to identify some of the parts. Is there a way to do this without creating a dumb...

    colour of wave linked body

    I sometimes add wave linked bodies into my assemblies, to help with creating parts etc. When i do this, i change their colour to pink, so it's obvious to everyone they're not part of the assembly. I also move them to another layer, so i can exclude them if i have to export the assembly. My...

    MR NX 8.0.3.4 - journal won't work now

    Please help me to get this journal working again, It's one of cowski's masterpieces... I've just put the latest maintenance pack on and it no longer works, maybe they've changed something in NX open or something... It's the dxf creator, which exports, and imports a .cgm, and exports that...

    VIEW TO MODEL

    I've upgraded from NX6 to NX8, today i came to use "view dependant edit" / view to model. I ended up doing it in NX6, as in NX8 we no longer have the use of simple curves, and have to sketch in view, then when you try to select what you want to move to model space, you can't select the sketch...

    NX8 constraints groups?

    I've recently upgraded to NX8 from 6 and was keen to see how the constraints navigtor works Apart from being able to show constraints by components etc, it seems to be very similar to before. I'd like to be able to create groups of constraints, so that i can easily work with the ones that...
