    NX - Move component to another assembly without losing constraints / associativity

    Hi all, I know that this is difficult but I'll give it a try. How can I move a component from a subassy to another without losing constraints? Or within a current assembly if I go "Assemblies" -> "Component" -> "Create New Component" and select a component from the existing assembly, how can I...

    NX10 - Minor Annoyance

    Maybe It is happening only to me but: When making a work part in an assembly and trying to select a feature, only the first or some features are selectable (movie1). If then I toggle on/off the "Highlight Hidden Edges" or if I select the feature that I can, it gives me access to the other...

    NX9 - New components in subassembly come in hidden in master assembly

    The title is somehow selfexplanatory, but I have added a video to explain more. I have added some fasteners in the subassembly, and when I try to display the master assembly the fasteners are hidden by...

    Different Component Name in Assembly

    Maybe this is a silly question but I came across with this annoyance many times. After an component replace some times it keeps previous component file name. I uploaded some screenshots were in the tooltip displays the previous component name, while the component is replaced with another.

    How to modify/add attributes to a family part

    Dear all, Is there any way to add attributes to a family part? When I open it, whether I have it read-only or not from windows explorer, I cannot modify it. It opens and says read-only. Brgds, Spada NX8.5

    Auto View Scale Representation in Drafting NX8.5

    Hi all, Is there any easy method to have auto view scale representation in Drafting? I have a template part in Drafting that is a master model approach. John Baker, in an old post, told us to insert a dummy part and reference the view scale from that part. Whenever I called the template for...

    NX8.5 Remember previous state in sketch

    Hi all, I am running the new NX8.5 for two weeks and I have a question if anyone can help me. I can remember that in NX8.0 I could change the selection scope (attached picture) to "Within Work Part" and remember the selection afterwards. Now If I open a new session of NX, I must reselect it...

    Mirror Feature

    Hi all, I have attached a prt with a failed mirror feature. I am just curious if I do sth wrong when trying to mirror that feature or is it that the feature conflicts because it consumes the face of the geometry? Thank you in advance.

    NX8.0 VB run - slow response

    Hi all, Although I have a long time experience with NX, I cannot find what is wrong when opening a large assembly and running a script. I run a custom script in vb to handle attributes. The script reads some attributes of the work part and I have a windows interface to change them as I like...

    Suppression And Assembly Constrains

    We are currently moved to NX7.5 after many years in NX3. We have some assemblies, where from expressions could someone suppress or not components. This was working good in NX3 and is working well in NX7.5 still. The problem here with assembly constraints (over 200), is that if you suppress a...
