    Convergent body still being created

    Check the model template file. I'm not sure if "treat degree 1 Spline as polyline" is a part setting, or not. If it is, you'll need to change it in the template file (aka start part, aka seed file) -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

    A very large symbolic thread in NX1961

    You should be able to check "Manual Input", and type in whatever thread dimensions you need. -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

    NX10 Assembly Constarints Not Selectable?

    Right click on "constraints" in the assembly navigator, and toggle ON "display constraints in the graphic window". Now you should be able to select them, and figure out what they apply to. -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

    Arrangement specific constrains in NX

    You can edit the constraints to make the arrangement specific. That way, when you toggle between "open" and "closed", the constraints will turn on/off as needed. -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

    Customer defaults was locked

    Make sure you have read/write to the folder it resides in as well. I've had issues in the past with that. -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

    Best Approach for Modeling in "Rigged" Space - NX12

    That's why I don't like modeling in "rigged" space. When I have to do it, if I can't wave link the mating data into my file, I usually go with your option 2. That way I can move the datum planes, as needed. If something changes, that requires an angle change that wasn't accounted for, you can...

    JRB's old fastener libraries?

    Thanks @looslib I wasn't 100% sure how much transferred over to the Machinery Library @johnrbaker , thanks -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

    JRB's old fastener libraries?

    @johnrbaker I'm looking for a copy of the old "fasteners_english.zip" that John Baker created, prior to the current Siemens Machinery Libraries. I found a copy of the "fasteners_metric.zip" that I stashed away, but not the english. Anyone have a copy they would share? -Dave NX 12...

    NX1899: Deleting ghost entities reported in layers of part / assembly file

    This was useful for finding invisible objects on layers, but it doesn't seem to work in NX12 now. Maybe someone can update it? -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=fd84fe6d-e77c-4bc5-b56f-2c8240b9d663&file=NX9LayerToolsTues21Oct2014.zip

    Finish symbol?

    Thanks! -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

    Finish symbol?

    Any one know what this symbol is? It seems like I've seen it before, but not in recent time. It seemss like it might be a surface finish, or something? If you recognize it, do you know what spec its from? -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

    NX12 doesnt read under score ( _ ), instead shows a box symbol

    Could be a font issue, have you tried using a different one for the parts list? -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

    Direct Sketch doesn't exist anymore in NX1903

    If you use Edit, and not Edit With Rollback, does it behave the way you want? I never used Direct Sketch, and found it confused new users with two sketch tools. -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

    How do I get rid of extra tabs in File New NX1899custom

    Remove the extra .pax files from the Templates folder, or Templates\startup folder. Depending on which method you are using. I still get the DMU tab, it appears to be hard coded, at least in NX12. -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

    NXcustom with Windchill

    This is what I have for my adjusted NX120.bat file so far. Still trying to figure out what should go in for some of the env variables. Does it look like I'm on the right track? @echo off :: Launch NXcustom :: Last Modified: 31Oct2017 :: Edit this line to define NX release number set...

    NXcustom with Windchill

    @kscnoname quick question, I just had a few minutes to reread your suggestions, and do some experimenting...I noticed you say "NX & WGM net-install to work". To be clear, we are installing both WC and NX locally, and only putting the NXcustom stuff on the network. Does all of this still...

    BOM representation of item cut to length

    One option: You could make the cable a deformable component, so the length would adjust, using the p/n of the roll. The BOM would just list the p/n for the roll of cable then, but on drawings it would display at the correct length. -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

    NXcustom with Windchill

    I haven't started experiment yet, bu looking at NX120custom, and I know 1847+ are similar, do you put the PTC_ROOT, PTC_WF_ROOT, etc., in the NX120.bat, before it calls NX120common.bat? or keep them in NX120common.bat? I have generally left NX120.bad as OOTB as possible, keeping the tweaks in...

    NXcustom with Windchill

    @kscnoname "You can copy the CAD adapters so the users don’t have to integrate all NX versions manually (for the first start)." by this, you mean take everything from "C:\PTC\.wf\.cadadapters" and put it with the NXcustom stuff (or some other network loc), so all users can see/use the same...
