    Sketch line on flat pattern

    What's the best practice way to make a sketch line visible on a flat pattern? I want a line on there which will be used for engraving. NX 7.5.5.4 with Teamcenter 8 on win7 64 Intel Xeon @3.2GHz 8GB RAM Nvidia Quadro 2000

    New to mathcad prime, problem with Atan & formulas

    Hi guys I just installed mathcad prime and have come to my first problem where google doesn't help me solve it. If you'll see attached image, you'll see the formula "betha", where I want to calculate the arc tan of something. (note that ptx10, pty10, L9 & L10 are predefined higher up in the...

    Dimensioning a safety rail

    I've been asked to put a safety rail on a structure that has to be able to support 3 people falling off The rail would be 4m long and the people are attached to 2m long safety lines. So worst case scenario is all 3 of them fall simultaneously in the middle of the rail and fall down 2 meters...

    Export dwg to 1:1 scale

    When using the drafting templates we sometimes have to scale parts in order for them to fit. Sending these files to our subcontractors sometimes results in them lasering the part on scale. Can anyone suggest a better method or a way to automatically export your drawings to a 1:1 scale? NX...

    Master to non-Master file

    I'm not sure if I'm using the right terminology so I'm sorry if me question is unclear: We're using NX7.5 in teamcenter I was creating a drawing(123456-01-dwg) of a file(123456-01) and wanted to save that file under another name. In stead, I saved the drawing under another name (123457-01) so...

    Signs of mechanical wear/damage and their origin

    Does anyone know of some kind of website/book that lists different kinds of possible wear/damage on metal and their origin? We received pictures from a customer (which I am not at liberty to share) with a kind of damage I can not seem to place. I apologize for the vague description. NX...

    Save as new revision, skip numbers

    Is it possible to save a part revision 01 directly as a .05? Or do I have to do it one at a time? NX 7.5.5.4 with Teamcenter 8 on win7 64 Intel Xeon @3.2GHz 8GB RAM Nvidia Quadro 2000

    assembly cut threaded holes?

    link to old thread. In there it describes the use of an assembly cut. Is there, however, a way to add actual threaded holes? It seems like after I've performed an assembly cut I can do with the part as I please, but I find no way to reach that state without doing one. Any hints? NX 7.5.5.4...

    save united bodies as one

    I'm trying to 'dumb down' a part of ours in order to increase load times. The part in question consists of about 200 bodies and I would like to unite them and save them as 3-5 bodies. Would this make the part 'lighter'? How can I do this? NX 7.5.5.4 with Teamcenter 8 on win7 64 Intel Xeon...

    contour drawing for plasmacutting

    We want to make a 30mm thick steel part by plasma-cutting the contour, and then adding small holes etc. on a mill. I'm having trouble finding a proper way to create both the drawings (drawing for "raw" part and detailed drawing for the mill) and somehow make them dependent on each other and on...

    Math/geometry question

    I'm actually ashamed asking you guys for help on this. I've wasted my entire day trying to solve this and haven't gotten any further yet. I guess I'll have to go back to school and freshen up my math skills. In attachment you'll find an image of an irregular pentagon with given: angles: a, b...

    Is there a way to put the "é" symbol (or anything like it) in note? We get an error when we try. NX 7.5.5.4 with Teamcenter 8 on win7 64 Intel Xeon @3.2GHz 8GB RAM Nvidia Quadro 2000

    Teamcenter: searching via description

    When we add a nipple in one of our assemblies, we give it a part number of our own (random number with no reference to the properties of the item). Problem is, when I want to use this same nipple in another assembly, it's difficult to find out if that type already has been assigned a number...

    radial hide button disappears

    See attached image. Every now and then, my hide button on my radial selection disappears. I have no idea what causes this or how to bring it back. It always comes back on itself. When the button is gone, I can still hide items via the normal button. Any idea why this button disappears? NX...

    Change one of multiple equal parts in assembly

    Assume the following situation: Assembly1: part 1 part 2 part 2 part 3 part 4 I'd like to make a change to one of the part 2's, without changing the other one, so one of them needs a new number. However, when I select the 2nd 'part 2' and do save as... (to 'part 5' for example) the...

    NX FEM: Delay update

    I have a fem consisting of several solids, each with their own mesh, connected via mesh mating conditions and some other stuff. I'd like to change the element size of some of the solids, but every time I change one, the mesh starts updating. Since I want to change 3 solids, that's 3 updates of...

    Opening TC NX without opening NX

    When I open NX outside of teamcenter, I open the native version which is not connected with TC. Is there a way to open the connected version without having to open teamcenter? Since TC (or at least the navigator) is implemented inside of NX I often don't see the reason. NX 7.5.5.4 with...
