After a little help. I don't program and wouldn't know where to start but here goes.
Our NX drawings are done a specific way. One drawing file and multiple sheets. First sheet has a title block imported in has a BOM and notes etc. The following however many sheets have a different title block...
Hi there,
It's been a while since I've been on NX but back there now and trying to find ways to speed up my processes. I've been searching, but can't quite find the answer.
So sometimes we get assemblies in which we can clone and get a new tool number onto. This brings all past attributes with...
Morning all,
I have been asked a question which got me thinking. I have attached a little sketch. So the bottom image is a plate with 2 pins, the top image is a plate with 2 holes, they fit on top of each other.
Normally we would tolerance the holes and pins with GD & T and once assembled...
Evening all,
I'm looking at BS EN 3506-1 spec for stainless fasteners, but it only talks about metric sizes. Does this cover inch series or is there something else which does inch?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help? I'm studying ASME and geometric tolerancing and the book I have mentions a study done by a ELECTRONICS MEASURING DEVICES INC, done in 1989 to verify surface forms.
The paragraph reads;
According to a study done by Electronic Measuring Devices Inc, in 1988, it...
Good evening all,
Ihave purchased a MicroScribe 3D (i know it's the older model, i wanted to learn a bit about reverse engineering etc.) Trouble is i cannot for the life of me get it working.
Firstly, anyone who may have one, am I right in saying that once you load the MicroScribe Utility...
Afternoon All,
So just recently I've noticed that my thumbnails aren't showing when I save a part in Catia v5 r21. I just get a blank back ground colour. I've been over google and this forum, and tried the /regserver thing and nothing happened, not sure I did it right, but it didn't complain...
Evening all,
I've been working on some clamps, and although they have been tried and test (previously, we are reusing) it got me wondering. How would i calculate out an offset clamping force. I've attached an image as an example. So if i applied a tightening force on the nut what would be the...
Good Afternoon,
Ok so I'm after some help please. I have a catpart which is quite large (in file size approx 50mb) i have a load of holes in it, which I've put the wrong length of thread in, so I need to make them longer. I've recorded a macro, trimmed it down and then edited it. I have very...
Good Morning,
I've got a couple of brackets which I'm setting on assembly on my tool. I've previously used the 'U' modifier symbol on other brackets on other jobs, to indicate which way to have the surface tolerance, in or out, however can I use this for assembly setting?
I want to set two...
Afternoon
This may sound like an utterly stupid question, but I've never used the 'CZ' modifier, as most surface work we do is usually controlled with a surface profile tolerance. So it got me thinking, if I have a plate with say 4 pads sticking up which are cut to a surface, what's the...
Good afternoon, back again with my stupid but necessary questions! :-)
We have some pins which are shown on the attachment, these fit into a bush head, shaped the same way (so the bush is slotted) How, or should I say what is the best way to tolerance this piece in order to give it a H7 g6 type...
Morning All,
OK I've been going round in circles a bit and really need some help. I have 1 component, a bracket and a pin. The component is sat down, the bracket is set and doweled off to a base plate when in the correct setting position. The pin is then used to check two holes are in the...
Good evening all,
I've been researching GD & T and purchased some good reference books which have helped me understand a lot, however I think I'm confusing myself a bit. In examples in the books I've been reading you have a pin and a hole. Hole is tolerance 12.0 + 0.1 - 0.1, so we calculate MMC...
I've been looking at an ASME standard drawing with welding symbols on. The person who has done them has done a mixer of things. Some are the arrow with a z5 and a fillet symbol. Following this they have written 2 pos. The 2 pos is written in the area where you would normally specify weld length...
Good Evening,
I'm looking at a drawing of two parts. One is a component with a diameter flange with a series of holes in with a positional tolerance of 0.1 on them. Our plate which the component sits on has the same pattern of holes in and we locate with pins through the holes.
Now I've been...
Morning all,
I am working on a fixture which when lifted by a crane can either be empty or have a weight one end. Now I use CAD software so it calculates where the C of G will be, so in playing about with it I've got it pretty good about the centre of the fixture. My question, is there some...
Morning all,
Is there a way to check which version a part file is without opening it? I've recently updated to NX 9 from 7.5 and had to reinstall my OS due to disk errors etc. So I didn't reinstall 7.5 because we are now using 9. Trouble is I've been asked to check the files are saved in 7.5...
Afternoon,
I can not for the life of me get the seam welding symbols bit working in NX 7.5. It's greyed out and no matter what I do it stays greyed out, am I missing somehting?
Cheershttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=499b6a3b-e456-4db9-82be-366b158f1422&file=welding.pdf
Good evening,
I'm after a bit of GRIP help if possible? I have a GRIP program, probably downlaoded from here, it was ages ago when I found it and can't remember, sorry. It currently generates OTP/PT values for points on a drawing, however generates them to a table which is made of lines and...
