Hello,
I want to ask the same question that I previously asked in the referenced thread in case an answer might turn up under new scrutiny:
How is it possible in CATIA V5R20 to constrain a freeform object into a nest of 6 points? Imagine that the nest is composed of 6 spheres...
What is the difference between the inertia center of a multi-body catpart as shown in the properties=>mechanical tab and the center of gravity of the same part as shown in the measure item command? The two tools provide slightly difference results for the same part.

Hello,
First time posting to this forum. I am an experienced unigraphics/NX user who has very recently taken a job at a company that uses CATIA V5R20. So far the adjustment has been relatively painless but there are a few things that I used to do all the time with NX (and solidworks before that)...
Is there a way to turn off the mouse-over face highlighting when in see-thru mode? I like this behavior 99% of the time but in see-thru mode I see a hidden feature that I want to select and when I move the mouse towards it to select it the face in front suddenly highlights and hides the thing I...
Can anyone help me out with how to adjust stacking and associativity settings to get drafting objects to behave as I expect? Examples:
1) Get two ID symbols to stack horizontally and centered to each other without a space between them. This should work even if symbols are different sizes.
2)...
Hello,
I am curious if anyone has any experience with designing or applying air gaging for inspection of complex shapes?
The shape I am interested in applying this to is a narrow, wedge shaped slot.
The thought is to do the following:
Create a hard gage that simulates the maximum material...
I am having a very odd problem with my NX 7.5 install. When I choose File -> New, either from the menu or from the icon, the session hangs immediately and I need to use Task Manager to force quit. I also have NX 8.0.1 installed on this workstation and have absolutely no trouble with the same...
We have a current SMA with Siemens but I am curious what happens if we allow our SMA to expire and the piece of hardware that our license sheet was issued for dies. Is it possible to get a new license sheet issued for for a new piece of hardware? I'm not talking about any upgrades here. I...
I have been using Surface Area drive method a lot recently for 3 axis contour milling that requires undercutting with a barrel-type cutter. As far as I can tell this and streamline are the only drive methods that will calculate this type of path correctly. I seem to get the best results from...
Hello,
Using NX 7.5 or NX 8.0:
When creating a projected view is there a way to a define an associative projection vector such that the projected view will always update relative to the feature used to define the projection vector and will stay locked in that relationship to the parent view on...
I have received a couple of part files from customers recently that have pyramid shaped icons in the features tree that are simply named "Boolean". These features are not editable. What process or tool produces these features?
Anyone out there using the new (as of NX7.5) inspection module? If so how are you establishing your machine interface and handling reporting? It looks to me like the inspection module will get you up to the point of generating DMIS code but you need something else to pick up the from there, run...
I have one part file that is behaving a bit oddly in drafting. I get the correct gap between the object lines and dimension extension lines if I pull the dimension up or to the right. If I pull down or to the left I don't get a gap. I have played with associativety and that doesn't change...
This is probably more of a windows issue than anything to do with NX but perhaps someone here has had the same issue and knows of a fix:
Running Windows XP SP3 32 bit:
When I single click on a NX part file windows installer immediately launches and says it is configuring UGS NX 7.5. The window...
Using 7.5.3.3:
I have some parts that are basically shaped like a wedge. We are milling these in a vertical orientation (thin end of wedge pointing straight up) by spiraling down the shape from peak to base using z-level profile. I have the in/out tol set at .0002/.0002 and a .0002 scallop...
Using NX 7.5:
We have a need to take a surface that is contoured and flatten it out to create a flat blank. The solid looks like a bannana with a half twist along the length. So we want to split the solid in half lengthwise (we've already done that) and then project the resulting half outside...
I'm interested in editing the OOB ASME feature parameter template that controls hole callouts. I can edit things like arrow type without any trouble but what I want to do is change the way the thread is called out from "1/4-20" to ".250-20" . I realize that this is not a standard way to do this...
Is it possible to set the Note dialogue box so that the "origin" section is collapsed by default? When the note box opens it is too long for my screen and all I see is the "origin" and "leader" sections but I have to scroll down to see the text entry section. I want to collapse the placement...
NX 7.5 drafting:
Is it possible to remove or reduce the space size in a limit dimension? Currently the dimension looks like this: .247 - .250
I want: .247-.250
can't seem to find the adjustment for this.
Thanks
Just noticed an odd behavior in NX 7.5.3.3 manufacturing. When in the "Machine Tool" navigator if you have the "Tool Number" column active and you click on the column header to order the list of tools by number the sort will go like this:
1
10
11
12
13
14
2
20
21
3
etc...
It is sorting by...
