    Polygon File

    I am trying to work with NX 6 and/or 8 using the .ply(polygon file) export, but I cannot seem to do anything with it as the header is not correct. I cannot seem to find any documentation on the .ply file type and NX. Any help would be wonderful. I've tried opening in Geomagics and MeshLab...

    Step Import

    I'm writing some VB to import a .stp file, but I would like to name the body as they are imported. Is there any way to do this with the Step203Importer class? Maybe I am overlooking something obvious but I do not see any way to easily name the imported body. Other then "searching" and naming it.

    Drafting 2D Views with 3D Imported Models

    This has been a long term issue going back to version NX4. This has been tested out in NX5, 6, and 7.5 with the same results. Replicate the issue by creating a complex .stp file, import the file into nx, make edits to the model using Boolean operations. Now create a drafting view of the...

    Assembly Constraints and Arrangements

    Is it possible to have arrangements work through expressions, suppression by expression, or by loaded feature? Automating wise, it seems that assembly constraints are limited. You can create a mass of components and constraints and the components currently active will display the constraints...

    Layers/Categories Control

    Is it possible to control layers or categories by expressions? Or is the only way really to control them through macros/journals/ufuncs/etc?

    Internal Spreadsheet Question

    So I have used the internal spreadsheet to bring in part attributes, then make calculations based on that attribute. My question is, I now want to bring that calculated value into an expression, I am not sure how to read values from the internal spreadsheet? I tried using the path to the ug.xla...

    NX 6 - Automating Notes

    Background: I have a list of 20 notes that can be activated depending on the outcome of the model. So there could be as few as 1 or as many as 20 notes not being suppressed by equation. Problem: I need the notes, and only the ones that hold true (from suppression by expression), to be...
