After creating a broken view on a drawing, I have added item balloons for the parts. This is a long tube with end plates to make a weldment. We have a grip program that runs the plot function and captures the output to send it to a custom viewer we have. When I run this grip program, the...
I started out making a JT file of a chassis we received from a supplier. So I got the top level JT file and in another folder, got the JT files of the components that make up the chassis. I then went to add the chassis JT file into a NX assembly. I had no problems selecting the JT file to add...
Have an assembly one of our users was opening and one of the parts is obsolete and it says part not found. But when you try to delete the part from the assembly, you get a error "failed to find file using current search options, part left unloaded. Why is the assembly trying to load the part...
We are currently running NX 7.5.5.4. When I open an assembly and it has a part that went obsolete, I am having a problem being able to delete that component. When I select to component to delete it, it goes and tries to open it first before it deletes it. Why would it have to try and open the...
Had a user adding a detail view in drafting. In the view selected to create the detail from, you can see all the lines showing. When the detail is placed on the drawing, what would be silhouette lines are not showing. Now one thing I see different in nx7.5, the detail views are a level below...
We recently switch to NX 7.5 from NX6. We are having an issue when adding a new part to an existing assembly file that was from NX 6. If constraints are used to locate the new part, you see the part when in modeling. When you go to drafting, any views already on the drawing the part is not...
We are in the process of getting NX7.5 going. I have selected customer defaults for NX sheetmetal to be the same as in NX6. When I place the FP view on the drawing, I am not seeing any of the FP geometry in the view. I am not sure if this is a sheetmetal issue or something for drafting. Are...
Is there a way to have the component name change when you replace a part in assemblies? The actual part name is correct in the assembly navigator, but if you are looking at things in the cue line when you are selecting an item, it will display the original file name before you did the replace.
We are having issues with using welds symbols in drafting. The one thing though, it is not happening for everyone. It starts right from selecting weld symbol from the toolbar. It takes sometimes up to 30 seconds just to get the menu open. The when placing the symbol on the drawing, it can...
I am wondering if anyone has seen this situation. I had one of our designers working in an inch assembly. While in the assembly he started creating a new part. He then went to make this part a new component for the assembly. When he then made the part his displayed part and went into...
I have one one assembly file that after I add a new part to it, the part ends up being hidden. I have to un-hide it to be seen. This is an older file that I started with and we are running NX6 now. I am not sure if there is some preference set that is causing the added part to be hidden.
I have noticed when you load an assembly and you have a part not load because it was obsoleted. I know in NX4 on the assembly tree, you could right click on that part and then get as one of the selections "open as". In using NX6, I do not see this option when I right click on a part on the...
In NX6 when using NX Sheetmetal and creating a flat pattern, if you try to create a detail view from the flattern view in drafting, nothing shows up in the detail view. Any other view on the drawing, no problem creating a detail view. The only thing I can come up with right now to tell the...
When we started using NX4 I had lots of requests to make sure the drafting background was black but still having the modeling backgrounds the graduated colors. I talked with someone about this one time, I am not sure if it was John Baker or not and was told of a file that I had to edit to get...
