I am starting a new project using CREO 2, and before I get too deep into the project I would like some ideas on how to handle the following situation:
We make small engines (think lawnmowers), and our crankcases are die-cast aluminum with a cast-iron liner that is cast into the aluminum...
We are in the process of moving from NX to CREO 2.0, so I'm sure I will have many questions.
My question today concerns hole notes. I went through the help files and knowledge base, and I have the notes working for threaded holes. What I am wondering is if it is possible to get them to work...
We are in the process of switching from NX to Creo 2.0, and one of my tasks is to get the drawing formats set up.
I have a cell in the titleblock table that contains &todays_date, and this works mostly as expected when I bring the format into a new drawing, except for the following:
In the...
Using NX7.5, and Visual Basic 2010 Express.
I would like to be able to compile my journals into dll's, but so far I am not having any luck.
I am able to compile and build the dll just fine, but when I go to run the dll, I get the following error message:
Failed to load image - see log file...
Someone asked me an interesting question which I did not have an answer for. So naturally, I figured I would ask you guys (and gals).
We take a piece of perforated sheet metal (.149in holes on .1875in spacing), and draw it into a round shape. So the question is there an easy way to model this...
We recently upgraded from NX6 to NX7.5. Prior to the upgrade, instead of using the auto-ballon function from parts lists, I would place empty ballons and then hit update parts list; which filled in the numbers. Worked like a charm.
I'm now trying to do the same thing in NX7.5, and I am not...
We are currently planning on upgrading from NX6 to NX7.5 in late November. As part of this, we are planning on re-filing all of our parts to take advantage of the greater use of lightweight representations in assemblies.
To make sure we don't run into any issues, I've been running the re-file...
Using NX6...
I am attempting to write a journal that will organize my file, mainly to place things on different layers so that the file conforms to our standards.
To start, I thought I would tackle moving each sketch to it's own unique layer. I was able to do this, but I discovered that it is...
Using NX6.
I have an assembly that was designed in mm. In this assembly, there is one assembly cut feature. We have noticed that when this assembly is added as a component to another metric file, everything appears as it should.
However, when this assembly is added to an inch file, the...
Using NX6...
We have been having a debate recently about how to handle our NX files when we run into situations where we have one part number that is supplied by multible suppliers. Generally, these parts will be castings, and the differences will be things like cast datum structures.
One...
NX6 Native file system.
The company that I work for makes small one and two cylinder engines for use in everything from lawn mowers to industrial equipment.
Currently, we manage our engines assemblies using a “master assembly” approach. That is, we will have a master assembly for each engine...
At my company, we seem to be running into a problem with suppliers models and drawings. They seem to like to model features to one size, and then make the dimension appear as a different size.
For example, a shaft diamter is modeled at 50mm, but they want to show the dimension as 50/49.5...
Is there a way to use the attributes from a master model in a note on a drawing?
We are using NX4, but we will be migrating to NX6 soon. We are not using Teamcenter.
