    Unpack Partslist on drawing

    Application: Drafting NX11 / TC11 Is it possible to show different callouts of the same parts which are packed in a partslist? For example: there are 3 electrical identical parts in an assembly. Only the code is different (callout or ItemID). You can change the itemID / callout per Item. In...

    Hide raster image in a drafting view

    Hello, I added a raster image to a model. By adding it to the correct reference set, it appears in drafting. When I create a view from the backside of the model and I have no hidden lines in the view I still see the image in a mirror state. I can't select it to hide it. Does anybody how to hide...

    Export Assy outside TeamCenter and Cloning assy in Native and keep the family parts

    Hello, I exported an assy outside Teamcenter. There are a lot of files exported which aren't in the assembly, but somehow they had a reference in TC with the assembly (maybe due to a save as of a component or something like that) So now I have a directory full of files which are relevant and...

    part "save as..." including drawing

    Hi, I'm setting up a NX native environment with mastermodel support. I thought when I do a "save as.." on a model part which has a drawing, Nx would also save the drawing part into a new part or at least ask for it. At this moment it doesn't and I have to separately save both parts and replace...

    Display hidden note with attribute string in template file

    I'm editing a template. What I do: I create a note, fill in the note with an attribute string. When I do this the note is hidden. I can't select it, si i can't correct it. When I use the template the value of the attribute is shown on the drawing. Exactly as I wanted. But it was the wrong one...

    Creating 2D Section Library sketches.

    We're trying to add a familypart with only a sketch into the 2D section library. It is a cutout contour for a range of connectors. So when modeling a part you can easily add that sketch and extrude it. I've done this before with a single sketch. Someone created a familypart of a sketch. But when...

    missing section string while extruding

    I have a sketch, just a rectangle: 0,01mm by 0,001mm NX refuses to extrude this. It responds with an alert: Missing section string. When I change the value from 0,01 to 0,03 it will extrude. Which Setting in NX is responsible for this behaviour?

    Dimension arrows outside in NX9

    In this thread JohnrBaker mentioned how to simply get the arrows of a dimension in drafting outside. http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=355897#post When I tap the dimension, I see the little popup, but there's not the "in/out"option. Do I have to activate it somewhere or how to add it...

    ID symbols

    Hi, I'm on NX 7.5 and TC 2007 I have mapped id symbols on a drafting which are linked to the PSE in Teamcenter. Here's the situation: Some of the parts in the assembly are reference only. These are electrical parts like sensors, motors etc etc. We don't want them listed in TC, because the...

    "Save as" question

    NX 7.5.5.4 TC 2007 Hello, Just wondering to ease some things: I'm creating some concepts where i have several parts, at the beginning they were the same. Through time they got minor changer to eachother, in other words: they became different parts. My question: is there a way, when i make a...

    customizing relief with threaded holes

    Hi, i'm using the "relief" option with a threaded hole. I can enable and disable it, but i can't customize it. The option to change diameter and depth of the relief part is greyed out. Not possible for me to change the settings. My question: Where can i enable this? I want to use more length.
