Part of our normal workflow is to export the assembly navigator to excel, and provide the information to our procurement department for purchasing purposes. We are running NX9 native (although somewhat managed by Windchill FWIW).
The output is a spreadsheet that contains attributes like...
Up until recently we were running NX8 with Teamcenter integration. Unfortunately our company decided to migrate our data and move to Native NX with file based document management system.
When we were running TC managed NX8 I had the option of setting a component as "reference". This would do...
In the last few days, two different users on two different assemblies received the attached error. We are running NX 8.0 with TC integration. The error seemed odd as we are at rev NX003. Any thoughts as to what the problem or fix could be?
We have a machine with a rather high center of gravity basically sitting on 4 tall legs. I seem to recall some safety guildlines or industry standards that provided guildlines for safe center of gravity height vs footprint ratios but cannot seem to put my hands on that document. Can someone...
Today we upgraded to NX 8.0 from 7.5 (after a great what's new presentation from John). In 7.5 I had a toolbar that contained the "pack all" command. Cannot seem to find the toolbar that contains this. Any ideas?
Still running NX 7.5 with TC integration and came across a problem tring to make a nest for a stamped part. Basically, I would like to extrude a pocket into the lower rectangular block such that the bottom of the pocket has the profile of the stamped part. Is this possible with NX and if so...
Still running 7.5 with TC integration.
I made an assembly last month that contained several arragements and then completed an assembly drawing with a view of each arrangement. All was fine.
Today, I bumped the rev on the assembly and added a few more arrangements. When I go to the assembly...
In drafting, the software allows me to insert a chamfer dimension for chamfers that are 45 degrees (insert =>dimension =>chamfer) however the command is not intended for angles other than 45 degrees. Is there another tool that allows us to call out a chamfer other than 45 degrees? I would like...
We are using 7.5, TC integration with the master model approach. Occationally when switching from model to drawing, I end up in an odd in between space (between modeling and drafting). One way to get there is from drafting, click view => display sheet. Another way to get there is from...
Still running 7.5 with TC intergration,
When placing views onto the sheet (drafting), the default is hidden line invisible. Typically, I manually click the first view and chenge it to hidden line visible/dashed.
I would like to change my default to be visible/dashed but cannot seem to locate...
I have become fairly comfortable with using arrangments to control the movements of things like cylinders and levers. Now I would like to use arragements to control the state of some sheet metal (flat vs. bent).
I am designing a machine that bends sheet metal. My assembly contains the...
Lately many of our tool shops have been cutting to the model. As a result, the tool shops have complained about modeling inconsistencies. Some of us are modeling things like metric dowels, slip fit holes and press fit holes to the basic dimension while others are modeling to the meadian value...
Running NX 7.5 with teamcenter integration. I have a question regarding the modeling of metric holes.
Is there a standard out there that dictates or suggests whether we should model to the nominal or the basic size?
For example, when modeling a 12mm hole with G7 tolerance the basic size is...
I have a problem regarding reference only components, hoping someone can offer some suggestions. I am running NX7.5 with TC 8 integration.
I have an assembly that was created while working with the load option titled "working". Within the assembly, I have a sub-assembly that is basically for...
Running 7.5 with TC integration. I have a flat plate that I would like to add an o-ring groove to. On the face I made a sketch of the path. Perpendicular to the face, I made a sketch of the o-ring groove cross section. I tried to use the "swept" feature and ran into a minor problem. It...
When I add a component to an assembly via the "add component" command by constrains, I often insert the new component in the incorrect orientation the first time. An example would be with adding a cap screw via the concentric constraint.
Part way though the process I see the little...
Received the following error message this morning. Wondering if anyone has had it and maybe a solution??
The following parts failed to save causing the overall operation to fail.... error number 100525139
I closed the part and drawing, went to teamcenter and the part was there but drawing...
I forget where I got these instructions from but see if they help.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=355bdfa8-ed7a-4ddf-b3ed-1361740c17f8&file=BREAK_OUT_SECTION_VIEW.docx
We are running NX7.7 & TC 8.
Today,(from NX) I can FILE => EXPORT => Pdf and the pdf will appear in TC for the item I am working on.
Also today (from NX) I can FILE => EXPORT => Parasolid and choose a local destination for the parasolid. Then from TC, I FILE => NEW => NEW DATA SET etc to get...
We are running 7.5 w/ TC integration but I think my question is related to all versions.
I work in the equipemnt design group of a large comapany that primarily designs consumer products. We just make the equipment that assembles the product.
Because of the nature of the workflow, I get to...
