    Use of Model Reference set in assemblies

    I was searching the forum for info on lightweight reference sets and I came across something posted by John Baker that I hope to get some clarification on. John's quote follows: "As for Reference Sets, Load Options should be set to Model. If you've created your Sub-Assemblies correctly, that...

    Inconsistancy in finding subassemblies at different assembly levels

    I don't understand why I am getting the result I am. I have subassembly A. I can open this part file and it loads OK. I now close all pats and load the next higher assembly which includes subassembly A as a component. In this case subassembly A can not find some of its components. If it finds...

    Using arrangements for large assemblies

    I thought I had a solution to creating equipmemt layouts that would not overtax my workstation. My layouts show how several pieces of equipment are located in a production line and the location for air, electrical and chilled water drops. I decided to create an arrangement for all the major...

    Part interference causing drawing display problems

    If I have two parts in an assembly and there exists some interference between these parts, then the assembly drawing often does not display the properly. This is not a surprise to me as it also occurred in ProE and I expect many more CAD pakages. The simple answer is to eliminate the...

    Motor torque speed curve in the form of a table or spreadsheet

    I am looking for an example of a 3 phase ac motor torque vs speed curve which includes actual data points that I can enter into excel. It does not have to be for a specific motor but should be representative of a class A, B or C motor. I guess I would prefer a motor 1 to 50 hp motor. I would...

    PRESSURES FOR BLOW MOLDING AIR RING

    We are going to be using an air ring normally used in a blow molding line for an other application. I am unfamiliar with specifying a blower for these air rings so I have been trying to educated myself. I have looked at information on the web in order to try determine the proper air flow and...

    Bookmark command

    I have been seeking ways to handle large assemblies even though I don't have an advanced assembly license. I read about bookmarks the other day and thought I would give it a try. It appears that it is unavailable to me thru my menu picks. I assume that is because it is an advanced assembly...

    What type of compression Fittings for Extruder coolers is recommended

    I need to plumb an extruder cooling water system with copper tubing and compression fitting. Although the water supply pressure is under 100 psi I am concerned that there may be spikes in pressure within the aluminum cast coolers that clamp to the outside of the extruder barrel. It is likely...

    Balloons on drawings become frozen

    Often I will return to an assembly drawing which is ballooned and I find that many of the balloons are no longer moveable. I have tried a variety of things to free up these balloons. Updated parts list, auto balloon again, attach leader at another location but in most cases I have to delete the...

    Does teamcenter allow you to work locally?

    When checking out parts in Teamcenter are parts copied to your local hard drive for modification and then saved back to the server at check-in? Or ... are you still working over the network? It has been suggested to me that many pdm packages copy files to the local hard drive and as a result...

    Setting style preference for diameter dimensions

    I find that I am constantly changing the dimension style for while applying diameter dimensions in my drawings. I prefer a single arrow attached to the edge of the feature (hole) identical to the radial dimension style with the exception, of course, the diameter symbol in place of the "R". If I...

    Depicting a burned out profile before and after maching

    I have seen refereneces to this type of problem before but I am currently unable to find it so I apologize in advance for posing what is probably a familiar question. I have a steel plate whose profile is burned out to the approximate part shape. Material will be removed from the perimeter to...

    Updating drawing standards file when migrating to 7.5

    We have just moved to 7.5 and I am updating all our configuration files. I have imported our customer defaults from 6.0 into the 7.5. I am wondering if I have to do the same with the drawing standards file. Has the "as shipped" files changed between version 5 and 7.5? We started with the...

    Is this forum's search function unreliable?

    I used the search function for this forum with some pretty generic terms and came up empty. I was also coming up with relatively old posts. For example it is hard for me to believe that no ones has posted a question about "part lists" since 2007. I searched for "cast" which was in a post from...

    Use and mis-use of assembly arrangements

    I have a 100 part assembly that I am creating assembly drawings for. It is large enough that I need separate sheets to show assembly details. I thought I would use a different arrangement for each sheet so that components that I don't want to show are suppressed. I thought that suppressing these...

    Views are not responding to style settings

    I have a drawing view of an assembly which does not respond to any changes I make to its style. I noticed it when I was trying to set hidden lines to invisible-without success. I have since tried changing line color and weight and "nothing". I have deleted the view, the sheet and started over...

    UG ZIP Is not working

    NX 6.0.2.8 XP Professional I had installed the UP Zip utility some time ago and was able to integrate it into the NX menu system. I assume it was working at that time but I haven't used it for quite a while. When I recently tried to run it I was unsucessful in getting the UP Zip dialog box to...

    Mass analysis w/o Advanced Assemblies

    I am using NX 6.0.2.8 and do not have the Advanced Assemblies module. I still hope that I can at least determine the weight of an assembly and the location of its CG. I can assign a material to a body thru Tools-Material Properties. I can add entries for new materials and I can add entries for...
