Are there any translators that can allow a Solidworks part to be read into NX and retain the feature history? Parasolids are accurate but are tough to modify.
Hi all,
I'm working with a part that was migrated from I-Deas, and the default colors for sketch curves and dimentions do not work very well with the standard NX5 window backround. How do I change the colors of all existing sketches and dimensions?
Anyone have any tips on plotting 1:1? We are trying to get exact size plots but are finding that the plots are slightly small. For example, a 12" dimension will actually measure around 1/4" short. We tried changing every setting we could find in the printer options but it had no effect. This...
I have turned "Fixed Text Height" turned off in my Sketch Preferences so that sketch dimensions autoscale when I zoom the view. Now I find that any sketch dimensions created before I turned it off scale fine but if I create a new sketch, the dimension text height is very large and will not...
I have an assembly with several sub-assemblies. For some reason one of the subs has become an excluded reference set and cannot be made visible. When I try to make it a work part the reference set changes to "empty." How can I fix this?
I have come across this problem several times. I'm trying to delete an unwanted feature, and I get the following error message:
"Error recovery completed for the following error:
A dimension subscript for an array variable was out of range or invalid"
I can suppress the feature but I want to...
Hi folks,
I am analyzing some sections using Analysis -> Section Inertia and get the results displayed to 2 decimal places. How can I change the output to 4 decimal places?
I have been using NX5 for a year now and I still don't understand layer behavior in assemblies. What I mean is, a certain part feature, such as a sheet body, is put on a specific layer. But when the same part is put into an assembly, the layer of the sheet body will be changed. Why?
Hi all,
When you create a sketch on a path an locate it using the "percentage of arc length" option, can you go back and edit the location? I'm trying to do that and I can't find a way.
Why is it that the default multiple draft value for extruding is 2 degrees? Is there any way to change it? Here is my complaint: I have a profile that I have extruded with a single draft value of 0.5 degrees. Now I find that I need to change one of the drafted surfaces to a different angle...
We are running Teamcenter 2005 SR1/2007 with NX5. Often I want to create a new part based on an existing one, by using "Save As" --> "Save As New Item" which works fine. However, if the original part is used in an assembly, the new part will replace the original one in that assembly. I do not...
I have a part that was created using various extrudes, curve meshes, and surfaces sewed together. I need to shell it to a thickness of .08", but the operation fails at any thickness greater than .06" with no indication why. I have an almost identical part that will shell at .08" Any advice on...
I use a large monitor with high resolution, and many of the sketch constraint symbols (e.g. tangency) are quite small. Is there any way to increase the size?
Often when making a lot of modeling changes a sketch will lose its positioning reference, resulting in a warning (yellow triangle) in the part history. How can this be fixed without deleting the sketch and re-creating it?
Hi all,
In NX 5.0.4.1, sometimes when adding more than one asymmetric chamfer in the same feature, one or more of them will not be the correct direction, meaning the short side and the long side need to be swapped. However, the Reverse Direction toggle flips all the chamfers sides together...
