    Linked Dual Dims

    Jerry, Completely agree! Can't wait till NX6 dies in my company. I'll let users get used to new functions before I throw the ribbon at em... maybe ~9 months time we can look at TC10/NX10. I stumbled upon a clue to test with on the linked dual dims. Wanted to share it here to spark some...

    Nice model A984928! This will come in very handy for me, THANKS!

    Need Help on below journal

    Did NX export this? or are you writing it freehand? If freehand, try recording a journal in VBA format and clicking through the steps manually. There may be some mundane detail that stands out when you compare the two files. Thnx, Ryan

    Linked Dual Dims

    Hello All, Anyone have experience with linked dual dims? I'm trying to get mm [inch] format with max over min limits however the tolerance range is variable so I have it linked to an expression in the model. NX isn't picking up on the unit difference in the default dual dim dialog. I'm...

    diameter extension line not showing from component

    Hello, Need some help. In the attached sample assy/drawing you'll see that the diameter shown has no extension lines. This seems to only happen when there are features in the assembly. If we create this same assy with the over-molded rubber as a component, the extension line will show. Any...

    Slant (canted) coil spring

    Gents, Some generic spring numbers below. Units are in inches, length of spring in my pic is ~7.5" so diameter roughly 2 3/8". Thanks, Ryan

    Slant (canted) coil spring

    Thanks Gents! John, I'll try to get some specifics from the location that makes these springs. Taylor, Yes, is the answer to both questions... However I'll run with what I can get. Eventually it will fit inside a groove of a seal like in your first picture... however free state of spring...

    Slant (canted) coil spring

    John, Thank you. Any easier in NX8.5? I'd even be happy with something in NX10 that I can modify. even if parametric isn't going to happen, could you guide me with the values in your current law? Also, is it possible to make a model slanted like the pictures? Thanks, Ryan

    Slant (canted) coil spring

    John, Excellent, this is exactly what I asked for... however I apparently had bad examples. Is it possible to adjust the slant in another direction? I'll attach some pictures of a sample spring I have, I hope it helps...

    Slant (canted) coil spring

    Hello All, Hoping someone has a seed part or maybe some steps to follow to create a slant coil spring. same as this website, but obviously not in solidworks. https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/45751 using NX6.0.5.3 globally, soon to be NX8.5.3 Thanks, Ryan

    GD&T feature control frame preferences

    Well done John. perfect answer as usual

    GD&T feature control frame preferences

    Perfect! Thank you John! I'll test it out and you've probably got a start coming. that sure is an easy fix from the admin side... hehe

    GD&T feature control frame preferences

    Hello, I'm trying to default the tolerance set to off (un-ticked) for feature control frame... I can't seem to find the setting anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My users see different behavior from different drawing templates so I assume it is a setting within the template or...

    NX8.5 delete sketch dimension

    As TC/NX Admin I LOVE the auto-dimensioning. I frequently get asked about sketches that are not yet fully constrained and the user can't find anything that is missing. On some occasions the missing constrains are to a point that is no longer needed and is perhaps away from the current geometry...

    NX symbol question

    Jerry, Thank you, in NX8.5 that is exactly what I'm after. Any chance this exists elsewhere in NX6? Thanks, Ryan

    Tangent edges on swept features

    Hello, Working on NX6.0.5.3 In the attached .prt file you'll see a simple geometry with three features (sweep along a guide, swept, extrude). I'm hoping someone can help me find a way to make the swept feature not show the extra tangent edges (smooth edges). These edges are not shown in the...

    NX symbol question

    Howdy All, Anyone know if there is a way to default symbol placement to USE DEFINITION rather than USE CURRENT? Running NX6.0.5.3 globally but would be handy to know if anything exists in later versions as well ;) Thanks...

    cell fill

    John, Thanks for the reply. Not what I was anticipating, but at least I know. Thanks again, Ryan

    cell fill

    Hello, Wondering if NX has a function to fill a cell in a table.... similar to background cell fill in excel. All I've been able to come up with thus far is to trace the cells with sketch curves and then use the solid area fill. I'm thinking there should be an easier way. Currently running...

    Part Family Weights

    Excellent topic! May I ask a slightly different question on the topic? We have a part family of ≈650 parts and we are after their volumes. Measure bodies is at the bottom of the children's model tree. Is there a way to extract a table (static/snapshot is fine) of all of the volumes? I'm...
