Hi all,
Wondering if it were at all possible to crease/cross-break a sheetmetal part, as per attached image, in NX9?
I can create a flat plate and draw a line/s. Using the bend command allows me to bend one side only. Attempting to bend the second line results in the plate being split, as...
Hi all, I am trying to create an indented Parts List on a drawing, to show components of sub-assemblies. I am having no luck playing with the LEVELS. Does anyone know of a way I can achieve this?

Just wondering if I am missing something with the manipulation of text notes that are added to weld symbols?
When I go to add a note to a weld symbol (with leader on the LHS, text as standard is left justified) that uses more than one line, I have to manually add spaces to the start of each...
Hi all, I am just wondering how people out there handle quantities of deformable parts/raw materials in a parts list.
We have part families set up for a lot of our steel sections where we can use various lengths of these sections in an assembly simply by adding a deformed length. The problem...
Is there a way you can add an associative item balloon in a drawing to a non-geomtric part that has been added to an assembly? I have a few items in my assembly, like oil, counterweights, etc that are non-geometric parts, which I still need to item balloon to show where they go.

We are trying to automate the export process of our parts lists, and would like the ability to pre-set some of the options available.
Each time we export a parts list we need to do 4 things:
*set the output location => FILE
*set the format => Commas between columns
*set the filename =>...
I am wondering if anyone can help me to be able to add a DXF & PDF dataset to an item in TeamCenter? When we create a plate drawing, we generally send our supplier a PDF copy of the drawing and also a DXF file for laser-cutting. We would like the ability to be able to lock these two files down...
Hi gents,
I am wondering if anyone out there has a centreline symbol they have created for use with NX? It seems odd that such a basic, common symbol is not included.

Is any one able to offer any help as to the best way to modify the INH files (C:\UGS\NX5\UGII\inh_files) to allow us to customise the way tapped hole callouts appear?
When we have a tapped hole, say metric, our company standard states we need to say

I was wondering how different people handle having multi-page drawings in NX, and have the ability to have a different revision description on each page if required. (Or if you even bother doing this?)
By this I mean that we might have a 5 page fabrication drawing that might get revised. There...
I have a drawing of a crane, which I wish to have displayed as hidden-line-removed. There is a certain weld detail I need to show, where 4 certain plates need to be shown as hidden-lines-visible.
Is there a way I can just select the certain components and make them shown as HLV, or is it more...
Hi guys,
We have just received our new NX6 box yesterday, but was wondering before we upgraded if there is any feedback, positive or negative, from people that have upgraded. I guess, in short, is it stable?

Does anyone know if there is a journal file, etc available that can automatically add a part attribute DB_PART_NO to a part file (native NX), and populate the value with the files part name?
The reason I ask is that because for deformable parts/part families (using a raw material part number)...
Just wondering if there is any way to stack item balloons from a BOM on a drawing so that there may be 3 item balloons, but only 1 leader?
The only method I have been able to find is to add a balloon for each item, but i don't want to show 3 item balloons with 3 leaders, I

I had an assembly inside which I wanted to mirror certain components. These components both had tapped holes in them which were created using the threaded hole type in the Hole command (not pre-NX5 hole command).
The components seemed to work correctly, but I noticed that the while the hole...
Is there a way you can compress the physical spacing of weld symbols? By this I mean that weld symbols by default are very spread out.
I have attached a copy of a standard weld symbol. In it, you can see that the weld size digit is quite far away from the weld symbol, the contour symbol is a...
I have created a toolbar which has links to many journal files that have been created.
I am just wondering if there is any easy way I can share this toolbar with the other people in my office, without having to manually create them on each machine???

In a previous thread I asked how to add a BSP thread form to the hole dialogue. I was wondering how you can do the same thing to the THREAD function for an external thread cut on a piece of pipe??

I am wondering how to link a note in a drawing template to the description entered in a part/assembly file level so it populates automatically when the drawing is created.
The field I am using for this description in part/assembly files is the DB_PART_DESC field, which is what parts lists...
