Does anyone know of a standard that indicates how to identify surfaces for finish, texture, paint, or imperfections? When possible, shaded views (seldom) or hatching is used with enough views to show the areas. Other times, simple parts, we may just note one side of the part finish and the...
What are other light weight PDMs work well with NX? We have two distinct product lines here remaining in two different PDMs and two different CAD Packages. Both are in need of upgrading, so I'm looking around to see what's new. I know we will at least be going to SW PDM for the SW stuff, but I'm...
Do you know if SW PDM will talk well with NX? We have two distinct product lines here remaining in two different PDMs and two different CAD Packages. Both are in need of upgrading, so I'm looking around to see what's new. I know we will at least be going to SW PDM, but I'm unsure what will...
I'd like to start with the disclaimer that I really just prefer the dimensions and tolerances (be it GD&T or rectangular or a combination) to just describe what we need the part to be (meet the requirements essentially). Now the issue:
We keep getting into GD&T pissing matches here. The last...
I just happened to Notice that SW2016 has a "Thread" feature now that picks up an edge and then models actual threads. It's lateness to the party made me wonder: How long has UG/NX had the detailed "Thread"? I recall it being there for sure in NX2, and I seem to recall it as far back as UG15...
Hello, we are currently without an admin for Teamcenter Express, and hopefully we'll be updating to something else soon, but I need some help. We have several Items (not IRs) that were accidentally released. I have infodba access in the interim, but I need a quick workflow setup explanation to...
We have an older Bundle here that we likely are going to try to change soon. We don't really need any of the machining stuff, and I'm not sure I'm getting all the content from the free form stuff and smart models that is listed. Also, I want to be able to export .stl files directly from NX -...
I have a GTAC in for this, but I thought I'd try ENG-TIPS while I'm waiting to try other things (So far I uninstalled my Space Navigator and brought my graphics drivers up to the latest.). When saving videos (still NX 7.5) I only get the mouse movements, popup boxes, and the "Earth Background"...
I see that NVIDIA Quadro is certified for NX (NX7.5 here for a short while longer), but does that include K4000? I am having the issue of toolbars freezing which has come up before. I see IE9 has been to blame before, but before I get it uninstalled, do you agree that Internet Explorer is likely...
Hello, we allow use of in-context modeling for test fixtures and other non-production items here at work. This works great on a lot of the typical situations, but there is one where this doesn't work, and that is in-context components. We were doing tubes in-context (they are defined by a 3D...

I read the above thread, and it makes sense to do .cgm export to get a clean sheet out, but sheets with multiple view scales don't work very well here. So I was wondering, is there any new action on the .dxf front? What I am hoping to achieve is a clean .dxf drawing that...
Does anyone here have experience exporting to .pdf preserving layers? NX would be preferred (of course), and I do not have Acrobat, but I am interested to hear any thoughts on this.
Thanks,

Hello I am looking for the recommended setup to run 2 Custom Drawing Templates, that include company Drafting Standards and Company Titleblocks. Native, we had this setup with all patterns, standards and custom .pax files in one network location. This doesn't work with TCe. So, how should I set...
Hello, could someone please point me to the 'retain ownership' overrides within the Vault Admin Area. It is set to release all the time right now, and we need it set the other way.
Thanks,

I was tasked with finding the value required to turn something. I selected materials for all of the components in question and found the moment of inertia. The axis this will be spinning on is Z, now I just need to know which value is the value I am looking for. Is it 'Iz' or 'Ixy' (or something...

I updated our Titleblocks again this year, and I really need some advice on a better way to set these up. I use blocks (for the titleblock) that are externally referenced onto the format (format is saved) and then the drawing template is saved. This time around my blocks are...
Hello All,
I finally received some new hardware (Dell T5400, NVIDIA Quadro FX570, but old HP 19L1906 Monitors and system is running 32 bit..not 64) and it cured what appeared to be a selection limit issue in NX7.5. I couldn't use the lasso at all..but that is fixed now.
However, I can no...
Hello All,
A user here has a setting incorrect that I can't track down. It could be a computer graphics issue, but when editing a sketch any drag operations do not dynamically display. They instead wait until you release MB1. What gives?
