I am interested in adding an option to my current part building program to take input from an Excel file.
Currently the program guides the user through selection of existing parts to be imported (sort of like a UDF)and asking for modification inputs.
I would like to add an option to select an...
What is the best way to model a decal? Basically I am looking for a way to design a 2D design that I would then apply to a 3D surface.

I am currently on NX5 but I anticipate moving to NX7.5 soon so if there are some new options in newer versions, that would be of some help as well.

Does anyone know why, when reordering features via dragging in the feature tree, one sometimes gets a warning the feature x is dependent on feature x-n, and some other times it just grabs those parent features and reodrers them too. I just made the most god awful mess out of my part by grabbing...
It looks to me as though you could use the constant length and constant angle constraint on each linear element in the sketch. If you have arc elements it becomes more complex. The fix or fully fixed constraints are too restrictive. This sounds like a good enhancement request for a new constraint.
I would like to get a feeling for the relative "size" of the parts we build here. I am hoping people will be willing to share what they consider to be an average size part and what they consider to be a large part.
I am talking about feature count.
I try to be maximally efficient with my...
This is a question for "John the Evangelist". Pro/E has a function that I would find very useful almost daily. The feature is the "known" variable. This is very like a reference dimension in UG except that there is a variable name associated with it, so one can reference it elsewhere. I know...
I cannot figure out how to create a dimension that is the minimum distance between two holes or other approaching curved shapes. I can get the value via analysis->Measure Distance but I would like it on a drawing.
Does anyone out there do a total data open and refile at the time of version upgrade. The powers that be here insist that this is necessary, although in the ten years of managing our local data base before moving under the corporate umbrella I never did this or had it recommended. We are still...
I need to be able to import iges files into my part files. the iges files contain geometric data from an airfoil design package and text defining the parameters used to create the geometry. I think it would be ok if the text came into the drawing space as long as it all comes in at once.
I am learning how to use our corporate Smarteam installation, and I do not understand the significance of the "ID". Is the ID something that has to be between the user and the data or could the system have been set up to have the part number be the "ID".
I am trying to export an assembly to Catia V5. I am not having much luck. My last attempt corrupted my session. Are there any restrictions or tricks? I have also tried the save as path with only occasional luck with individual parts.
I am having troubles running NX4 over a VPN. I am getting incessant lockups. I am aware that UG does not support running over a VPN, but I was wondering if anyone has found anything that helps. License borrowing is not currently an option.
Does anyone know if it is possible to store two different versions of NX in Teamcenter (9.1.3.6)? In this case NX4 and NX5. Our corporate standard is NX4 but I moved up to NX5 when GM did, and I have thoroughly gone through my modeling automation parts with the new functions in NX5. My support...
When unselecting, either edges for a round or contour elements for an extrude etc., the system defaults to "all of intent". If I want to only remove a few objects I have to use the "hover over alternate" option to unselect only the desired element. Is there a setting to change the default? I am...
