Hello All,
I am wondering if there is a way for a standard user to see who is currently using licenses. We currently have more users than licenses and are beginning to run into users hoarding a license first thing in the morning, keeping NX up all day, etc, etc. I want to be able to give...
It is selected. I made sure I hit that multiple times in various tries thinking the same thing. When I right click on the sphere a small window pops up and with a couple options, but nothing happens when selected. See attachment for a screenshot.
What version are you running?
Thanks for...
Hello,
Referencing below thread...... Move Object in NX8.0.0.25, I can't seem to find "Snap handles to WCS" during dynamic positioning. What the cube was in the referenced thread is a sphere now and a mouse over tip pops up "Translate Origin". I see no reference or option to re-orient the...
The picture you see is at the end of a toolpath visualization. At that point, before selecting OK or cancel (which removes the render/visualization), the selection bar filters are grayed out. Nothing to pick, I did try though.
Dovetail question: I chose the option to "Save as component" of...
Hello All,
When machining and there is a significant piece of material that is left after getting effectively "cut off" by an end mill, the IPW rightfully shows the separated pieces. In the following operation, I have been using trim boundaries to avoid these excess chunks. However I...
HI,
I am looking to create a fit spline from many non-contiguous curves. Background: A pencil tracing of a simple shape (think outline of a horseshoe)is scanned to PDF. The PDF is run through a raster to vector software to DXF. The DXF is imported into NX 7.5. The result is a set of...
NX 7.5 - Advanced Simulation - When exporting the bulk.dat file, the default output path from the install is the UGII_BASE_DIR and not the working directory that the prt, fem and sim files are saved to. Anybody have any ideas how/where to set this to another dir?
I am trying to use automate the export of the bulk.dat file using a macro/journal. The default output path in my configuration is the UGII_BASE_DIR and not the working directory that the part, fem and sim files are saved to. I didn't see a item for that in the ugii_env.dat file. Anybody have...
In the Solve dialog, change the dropdown box to "Export Solver Input File". I disable the "Comprehensive Check" and hit OK. A "Scenario1_Solution1.dat" file is created in the subdirectory. I typically do a windows rename of that file to a ".nas" extension and pull it into MSC/Mentat.

Worked perfect! I see now how the customizations in the post link back to the part file attribute info. Just the nudge I needed.
Thanks very much.

Hello,
Is there a way to transfer the Program Order Group Name to Postbuilder? Ex. I have named the group O11234, which is what the first line of the posted file wants to be for the machine. I currently have a manual block of "O00001" which I have to edit every time to a new number. Or even...
Try using opposite handed concentric helixes. Example: Make first a RH helix w/ 12" radius, 1" pitch and say 5 turns. Next, make a LH helix w/ 11" radius and 1" pitch and 5 turns. Then Transform/Rotate the LH(inner) by 90 deg. Then use Bridge Curve to transition between the two helixes at...
I don't know of a way to link to the drawing border. However, you can associate the dimension to a point by changing the "Origin" type to "Point Constructor". Click on "Associative" and then under the "Origin Location" drop down select "Point Constructor". This is the regular point menu, but...
One other thing, when you use two strings a Tolerance parameter is available, Set this to 0 for keeping sharp corners of the section strings throughout the sweep.
I guess I would add a second section (same shape) string at the other end normal to the guide string. Just be sure to pick the section strings the same. You will see a directional arrow appear when completing the string, make sure all the section strings have the arrow in the same location and...
When sweeping, set up section string normal to the end of the new helix string. For sweep orientation, choose "Another Curve" and select the original straight helix. When prompted for "Spine Curve" select the simple line on the axis of the cone.
