    IR Camera in a Nema 4 Explosion Proof Enclosure

    I have attached a enclosure that is similar to what we need to do. The camera will be hooked to a laptop and all controls will be done on the laptop. We need an enclosure that is relatively small and light so that the system is somewhat portable. Any ideas are appreciated. Link to enclosure...

    IR Camera in a Nema 4 Explosion Proof Enclosure

    We are buying a new IR camera, AVIO or a FLIR. We machine explosive material and need to get this camera into an enclosure that is Nema 4 and explosion/dust proof. Does anyone know where I can find such a thing?? Also any recommendations on a camera in the 20-30K range would be helpful.

    How to delete an Array component?

    I have created an array in an assembly with a couple of simple parts. When I go to delete any of these parts I get the following message-"Attempt to delete an array master component failed." Anybody have any ideas on how to get these parts deleted?

    How to keep Datum Planes usable

    I am showing NX Version 4.0.4.2 NX Phase Unknown NX Patch Unknown Are these patches free with a current NX licence? I just wonder if our IT department has access to these, if not were can we get a hold of them?

    How to keep Datum Planes usable

    It happens pretty much everytime I use a datum plane for a feature. If I want to make another sketch on that plane I have to go and dig through the feature tree and see what feature it is under to use it again. Could it be something wrong with my part template? I am using the Master Modeler...

    How to keep Datum Planes usable

    I would like to know how to keep the datum planes from disappearing in my part files. I have added 3 datum planes, but as soon as I use them the planes move from the unused items folder to the feature that last used the sketch. For instance as soon as I draw a sketch on a plane, extrude or cut...

    How to Convert to .stp file

    I am trying to convert some files over to a .stp format for another group in our company. I am using the export option. I can figure out how to convert the file, and NX4 looks like it is working on the conversion, it brings up a seperate window and shows the conversion, but what is it doing...

    HOW TO MANIPULATE ASSEMBLY LEVEL BOM'S

    JOHN, THANKS, ONCE MORE YOU HAVE ANSWERED MY QUESTION. WHERE IS THE PART LIST TEMPLATE LOCATED AT? ALSO, COULD YOU GIVE ME A QUICK RUN DOWN ON THE PART FILE ATTRIBUTES? I HAVE BEEN NAMING THE ATTRIBUTE, AND THEN INPUTING A VALUE FOR IT, IS THIS THE CORRECT WAY TO USE THE ATTRIBUTES? IS...

    HOW TO MANIPULATE ASSEMBLY LEVEL BOM'S

    Is there a way to add an additional column of data in the parts list that would include the vendor of the part? I know that you can enter the vendor as an attribute, but how do I get it to show up in the BOM???? Thanks

    The ordinate command is giving me grief

    Thank you for the help on this problem. My next question regarding it is, how do I shoe the origin of the ordinate system? It only says "ordinate" with no reference to what I selected for the two baselines, which would make it very hard for the shop to build the parts. Thanks

    How do I reduce my assembly to 1 part file???

    I am working with a model from white hydraulic power. They were kind enough to send me their full CAD file of the motor I will be using. It came as a .stp file. Upon importing it to NX4 it created 33 parts under one main assembly, this overall assembly is the whole motor. Is there a way to...

    The ordinate command is giving me grief

    John, I wish you sat in the next cubicile over!! Thanks for your help on this, my company has provided no training on this software so it is very nice to get some answers from those who know.

    The ordinate command is giving me grief

    Does anyone use ordinate dimensioning? It seems very clumsy and difficult to make it do what I want. I have a part that from the top view has radiuses on all 4 corners. I would like to make the intersection of the X and Y sides my ordinate basepoint. I can figure out no way to make it so...

    How to Rename Parts

    Thanks for the replies you guys. I am not advanced enough with NX4 to externally reference any parts yet, I am still trying to get my wits about me with the overall progarm still. My assembly is relatively small so it looks like I am stuck with the file save as function. Thanks again.
