Apologies for what must be a very basic question, but I've never had to deal with wiring before in CAD so this is new to me.
I have a small assembly with one component that moves 2 inches up or down depending on which arrangement is selected. I need to model some wiring going from fixed...
How do I change the display font of dimensions that have become dis-associated in my drafting views? They used to display as dashed, which would tip me off that something with the model/drafting was wrong, but now they keep the same font as normal dimensions. I would like to change NX back to...
I'd like to generate a "unrolled" or "flat" 3D body of the attached part. Converting to sheetmetal and then generating a flat solid is not giving the desired results (edges that should be beveled are square and I'm not confident it is calculating the profile correctly).
Anyone know how to get...
I have not had time to research this at all. What are the key differences between NX6 and NX8 that I might prefer to know before I start using NX8 next Monday. Thanks in advance...
I'm using NX 6.0.5.3.
I am having some trouble figuring out how to make the position of one component change based of the measured distance between two other components. Let me explain in a little more detail:
I have a simple pulley setup; two pulleys with a single continuous rope around...
I'm trying to use the NX Motion Simulator for the first time on a 6-DOF stewart table. (looks kinda like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVQ1SSXAcOs ) My goal is to create an animation showing the table rise several inches, and if I can, rotate and tilt a little once fully extended.
I...
Hi all. I hope you don't mind me asking yet another question here. I am very grateful for all the help I've received in the past.
Where is the default size of custom symbols set? In the image below, how do I change the default values for "Length" and "Height"?
NX 6.0.5.3
Thanks in advance.
I would like to put a diameter dimension on a feature located in a detail view. The feature is very small, so I need the detail at 4/1 scale in order to see it. The "other side" of the diameter is located off view. Is there a way to add this type of diameter dimension in NX? Example picture...
Someone in my group runs into this error at least once a day. If any of us is working on a large assembly it will happen repeatedly. Making drawings is particularly painful. We have been hounding on management to give us better hardware and a 64bit OS for YEARS now but they keep finding...
Hi all. Bit of a head scratcher here.
I created a drawing sheet with that shows some of the components with dotted lines. Looks great on the screen. I can export a pdf or cgm of this sheet and they look great in Adobe Reader and Teamcenter Visualization Professional, respectively. But here...
Hi all.
We are always struggling with large assemblies where I work because our computers are memory limited due to 32bit operating system. We have 8GB installed but can only use 3.5 or so. We won't get 64bit OS until sometime next year (hopefully, it's progressing at the speed of...
Hi all. I'm working on a drawing where curves are showing through solids even with hidden lines set to invisible, and a check in the box "Include Model Curves". What else can I do to try and get the curves to be hidden when behind solids?
Using NX6. The approach above has worked for me in...
I have created an exploded view in my assembly. I've named it, moved all the components where I like them, and I can turn it on and off. But, how do I place a view showing the explosion on my drawing? I can't seem to find the command anywhere.
How do I delete or hide dimensions shown on the 3D model after measuring a distance with the "show dimension" option selected under "results display"?
Thanks in advance...
Quick question; is there a way in NX6 to create a section line w/o creating a section view? I remember doing this in NX5, there was a check box somewhere labeled "with section view" or something similar. Unchecking this box would create the section line w/o showing the associated section view...
Is it possible to place a regular old 2D image file (say .bmp or .jpg format) onto a solid body in NX6? I have a particular warning label that I need to put on a part and thought it would be cool if I could copy the label image out of a pdf and past it onto my 3D model somehow. Is this...
Hi all. Quick question.
Say I have a pressure vessel that I want to put some labels on at 4 locations, clocked 90 degrees apart. I can use the "Text" command to create my label in one location, but there is apparently no way to copy it to the other three locations. I have to create each...
Yes, where I work we still do everything with 2D drawings...
Anyone know how to insert a break or gap in a dimension extension line where it intersects the text of another dimension? According to the people who have been here a while this feature was available in NX5 but no one can find it in NX6.
I have a large assembly with over 400 components all saved into one folder on my computer. I've been working this assembly for a while now so I have many files in this folder that are no longer used in the actual assembly. Is there some way to have NX6 copy all files that are actually used in...
