    How can I 'wrap' a solid body around a spline curve?

    Hi Guys, I have a solid body part which has a variable edge profile. I drew this as a sketch and extruded it to the required thickness in the model. This works great for engineering production drawings but now I need to make assembly drawings that show the part form which is curved not straight...

    Coining/Die operation manufacture process advice...

    Hi Guys, I hope someone can help me with this query. I need to manufacture the attached part (material:2mm thick 316l stainless steel, tolerance +/- 0.2mm). At the moment during the design and testing phase I laser cut the part and add the internal and external edge radiuses with a profile...

    how to model a nylon webbing sling?

    Hi guys, one of my assemblies contains a nylon web sling. I can model this in a simple fashion by sweeping a section profile along my guide. How would I tackle this if I wanted to model the actual structure of the nylon weave? Is this practical? Has anyone accomplished this before or should I be...

    Edge blends not showing properly in an assembly (NX6)

    Hi Guys, I am surely missing something simple here so please excuse me! When I set up my assembly file using the New/Assembly template and then add a new part from an existing part file the edge blends on the parts are not shown properly. This is also the case if I go into drafting. How do I...

    Should one model contain multiple parts and drawings. ..? (NX6)

    Hi, I have happily created a model that consists of an object with multiple parts (in this instance a working tool). How should I proceed in relation to making engineering drawings for each part? I have tried to show or hide each part in the modeling area and then create a new drafing sheet for...

    non parametric curves and the studio spline tool... (NX6)

    Hi, if I want to create a parametric driven object that contains studio spline curves what approach should I follow? I can dimensionally and geometrically constrain all my basic curves in my sketch but if I want to then try and change the size or shape of my object parametrically at a later date...

    how can I edit a default drafting template? - NX6

    Hi, I am using NX6 and would like to remove the 'SIEMENS' logo from the drafting template title block and replace it with my own. On opening NX6 I choose the default model. On entering the drafting mode I choose the 'A3 with views' template - it is this template I would like to modify and be...
