Trying to make drafting related entities like dimensions and notes visible for a part in an assembly while navigating with the spaceball. Section curves show up fine, but nothing drafting related. Only way I was able to do it was exporting all the drafting objects as a part.
Hey guys -
for the past couple of years, I've been tasked to create CGI Photo-realistic video renders using 3D models I find online using software that requires the file to be OBJ. But now I've been requested to start using NX content I create for my videos. It's possible, but...
Hey guys. What would be the quickest way to export a big assembly with each component separate as an STL? Only way I can think of is using Wave Geometry Linker, removing parameters and export STL for each individual part. I believe exporting multiple parts causes them to become a single entity...
Hey guys -
got a co-worker saying there use to be a tool within NX that would let you import an image and extract usable curves for modelling. Does such a tool exist? Been using UG/NX since 1999 and don't think I've ever seen such a tool. Only way I've ever done this was to...
Anyone know if it's possible to hide motion related objects while running a motion simulation. Trying to record video for a presentation and my boss thinks it's an eyesore.
I know it's a long shot, but thought I'd ask anyway. Anyone know if it's possible to maintain translucency of a solid if you export it as a para-solid? Whenever I perform an export parasolid, transparency is lost and it becomes a fully shaded solid.
Hey guys, trying to find the most accurate way to locate and repair voids/missing faces in a solid body as a result of really poor model/CAD data. What you see below is a solid and not a sheet. I end up having to create sheet bodies to patch solid body.
OK, another problem that's driving me nuts. When I move a sheet body to a layer that is visible/selectable, it vanishes. Even when I try to unblank, it doesn't show up. Everything in the destination layer is visible except the one I just moved into that layer. The only way to make it visible...
Like the title says, I've got a model and if I delete, suppress or even edit with rollback, the entire model fails. Operations above that have nothing to do with the current feature just fail. Anyone have this happen?
Hey all,
is there a setting somewhere for the SEW operation that will show where there are gaps with red lines? Can't seem to get that to work anymore.
Thanks
OMG - I'm on the verge of putting my fist through the monitor. I'm trying to place a simple draft along the edge in red below. Draft direction is shown via the vector. Preview shows up fine as you can see. But when click apply, I get the fail message. Even using draft from surfaces, preview...
OMG, getting ready to shove my fist through my monitor because of this. As the title says, the step file of a solid body I created transforms into a crap load of tiny sheet bodies when re-imported.
I've done this procedure thousands of times and this is the first time I've had this happen...
Curious if anyone else has any dirty tricks to obtain approx. radius values when NX analysis tools fail.
I place 3 points using "points on curve" and then create an arc segment using the "Start, End, Point on Arc" option and then measure the radius of the arc.
Been using Autoform one step for bout 10 years now and wondering how well Hyperform stacks up to it in accuracy. I realize that one-step is a quick and dirty means of gauging formability, but which would be considered the lesser of 2 evils? My gut tells me it's Autoform one-step because it...
OMG, NX9 is constantly giving me the urge to shove my fist through the screen. When using operations such as offset face or thicken sheet, if the tangent faces option is turned and you want to deselect all the tangent faces, it only deselects a single face and not all the tangent faces. So now...
Hey all:
I just inherented a hairy assembly with over 100 parts and it appears that each existing component and any new parts I add, causes the part number to show up at the origin. How can I get rid of this without having to recreate the entire assembly from scratch.
Is there...
Hi All:
probably wishful thinking, but is there a way to access a part's "save history", without actually opening the part fully. Basically I need to see dates and time for when the part was saved. Some of this parts are huge taking 20 min to open up. Just wondering if...
Help Converting Thousands Of Horrible Sheet Bodies To A Solid ( see jpeg )
So I just finished off a really unpleasant design project. Had to convert over 13,000 thousand poor quality unparametized studio sheet bodies into a solid. And by poor quality, I mean 80% of these sheets don't lineup...
Talked to a desginer that works for an integrated Ford supplier. He mentioned that Ford will be following the direction Chrysler took by dropping Catia and going to NX because of Dassault's refusal to integrate with Team Center.
Is there a tool within UG that can rapidly sew and smoothen a whole bunch of small poor quality sheets. Perhaps even 3rd party software that can process these IGES sheets and transfer them back into UG. The one in the jpeg is actually a smaller example composed of about 210 sheets. Some of...
