Is there any way to have drafting annotation follow a curve? We are trying to engrave on the outside of a hole following the OD. Is there a way to use the drafting annotation follow the OD so we can use the engraving function in CAM?
I am running NX8. In previous versions I used to be able to draw a line at a midpoint of a channel and it would run parallel with an edge until I picked a stop point. For example I have engraving text on a dumb body that manufacturing needs to cut. What I want to do is draw a line in-between the...
I'm running NX8 and when I went to update my parts list I had a section end up on another sheet and I can't figure out how to move to the sheet I need.
I've tried deleting and recreating it and it does the same thing.
I'm running NX8 and I'm trying to reassociate an extracted face. For some reason I can't reselect it. I have to create a new one. Any one have this issue also?
We are trying to use the "assemblies -site standards- part name version" feature in the customer defaults of NX8 to control revisions. The problem we have now is the manufacturing guys use a different folder for their programs. If you use this feature you need to have the "from folder" or...
We are running NX8 and are trying to integrate feature based machining. When the create process dialog comes up it asks for rule based or template based. Since we are using templates for our current cam functions instead of rule based Id like to know what it looks for in a template. I get an...
We are running NX8 and have a problem with attributes.
1) The attributes do not update the annotation on our drawings even though they are referenced to them. That is using master model drawing style. On top of that if we delete and reimport a brand new detail note and reassociate it the...
We have a customer that requires a variable shrink rate on the plastic parts for mold design. Different areas require different shrinks. We have done this a couple of ways. One is using a general scale and then using offsets and moves afterwards to get the proper numbers. The problem with that...
We are using NX8 and are implementing electrode design into our system. If I use the NX provided drawing template the PMI for dimensions automatically come in but if I try to create our own template I can't get them to show up. I've tried view style inherit tab, view preference inherit tab. We...
We are on NX8.0.2.2 and I am trying to update a drawing. This is the error I get. "The attribute corresponding to an attribute handle cannot be located". This has happened several times and it's getting really annoying. Anybody else had this happen and have you found out what is causing it?
We currently have a material attribute in our older version parts. NX8 has a locked material attribute and we have changed the name to supposedly unlock it but can't get the attribute unlocked. Any body have sucess?
Has anybody found out how to change the line font for the bend lines in section views? When you go to the section tab in a view style for a section view you have the option of turning the bend lines on or off. It's just a straight line. I'd like to find out if there is a way to change it to the...
Has any body had this issue. A synchronous modeling feature "blows up" from one box to another except for the person that created it. Example: I add a delete face feature and save. The next person to open it and try to change it or make current feature and it errors out and any others. The only...
I recieved a disk that has UG parts on it and was instructed to make PDF of the drawings. Almost all of the files give an error that they are not part files but according to notepad they are NX parts. The ones I can open and get a part history on have this. NX 3.0.2.3- Madam5.0.0 and this. NX...
I'm trying to get a constant radius on a thread form to go from a conical to a cylindrical. The thread grinder tells us that he will climb the conical to maintain the radius but I can't get it to model that way. I'm starting on a conical surface and transitioning to a cylinder. Has anyone found...
When I remove a surface that a threaded hole command has been added to I get an error that says.
"Unable to reference parent objects that are either suppressed or modeled away"
I have reattached the sketch and changed to along a vector instead of normal to face.
What is the best way to edit this...
This something that needs to be fixed. Using NX4 I had alot of holes with threads attatched to them. When I had to edit the extrude that those holes are dependent on I had to reattach the holes to the edited surface. That's all nice and clean but the 144 symbolic thread feature doesn't recognise...
I have a wave linked subtract body that has a thread attached to it. When the subtract body gets relinked the thread doesn't update. Is there anyway to have the thread reference the new face?
