    Animation in NX-11 Using IRAY Rendering

    So far I'm getting a lovely rendering of my favourite assembly in NX-11 Ray Traced Studio. But I can't seem to convince the animation side of things to produce the equivalent result. The advanced Studio environment will produce something, but its not nearly up to the same quality. Under NX-10...

    NX 10 Roles

    Ah ha, I eventually located it under Tools, Preferences. He said wondering why it wouldn't also still reside where it always had previously? Best Regards Hudson www.jamb.com.au Nil Desperandum illegitimi non carborundum

    NX 10 Roles

    Well I looked on the Customise Tabs for Roles and it has gone, so in a quest for a load/create dialog I tried the white space but I now think what that's actually presenting me with is a way of saving palettes, so I'm back to square #1. How do I load and save roles? Best Regards Hudson...

    NX 10 Roles

    It appears that saved roles in NX-10 use .pax files whereas up to NX-9 they used .MTX files. Insert obvious question here " ". I prefer to update by bring across my old settings and manipulating them to suit so I don't have to start over again. Best Regards Hudson www.jamb.com.au Nil...

    NX10 next release? When?

    Looks like NX-10 is released. Now if only I could get me a licence file? Best Regards Hudson www.jamb.com.au Nil Desperandum illegitimi non carborundum

    How to constrain pin-in-slot assembly?

    As John says not really, but if this is a straight slot and you can use distance constraint to push the pin along the slot rather than having it pulled by some other part of the mechanism then you can set the distance value to an if-else function so that as it reaches the end it much always...

    How to model a rope winch in NX?

    Winding, If you have only one coil maybe it shouldn't be that hard, the geometry is pretty much that of a helix. It's swapping to the second coil (i.e. in an inner or outer layer) that's liable to be tedious. Best Regards Hudson www.jamb.com.au Nil Desperandum illegitimi non carborundum

    Office 365

    Thanks John, I wasn't expecting the cloud version to run at this stage, just the downloadable version that providing you purchase correct package you'll have access to if you need it. Iv'e reason to want to do a bit of both just to get better bang for my buck out of my Microsoft purchases. I...

    Office 365

    Thanks John, I've been talking with the folks at Microsoft and they tell me that Office 365 Business Premium does include downloadable versions of their programs but that it is basically Office 2013. If that isn't supported by NX then I'm lucky because I already have office 2010 and can do a...

    Office 365

    Does anyone know what the compatibility status for excel is between newer versions of office and NX? Best Regards Hudson www.jamb.com.au Nil Desperandum illegitimi non carborundum

    Deformable Parts or Simple Extruded Stock Lengths with Partlist

    Thanks John, I'll live, but the real problem for part families is the the value of the attribute comes from a set of simple formulas designed to triangulate a structure with fixed spacings that aren't horribly predictable. Best Regards Hudson www.jamb.com.au Nil Desperandum illegitimi non...

    Deformable Parts or Simple Extruded Stock Lengths with Partlist

    Hello Guys, It's been a while, but today I've a request to do something other than by usual fair and I'm frankly surprised that it isn't more readily supported than it appears to be. What I want to achieve is simply to define one part one time for a standard extrusion and let the length be...

    True Shading

    The part probably has a material assigned to it the colour of which is grey. Best Regards Hudson www.jamb.com.au Nil Desperandum illegitimi non carborundum

    Sheet tangency

    You can set the curve tangency up outside of the surface and you'll get close, but as far as I have ever known you need to break the sheet in two halves and use boundary controls to get better than that. Now if you use curvature controls (G2 at a minimum) as well then the result should be as...

    Parasolid Assemblies

    Thanks for bothering to reply Jon. It looks like we maybe the only way forward is to raise an ER. I'm somewhat surprised I must say because I would have thought that getting the Parasolid export/import process to recognise assembly structures should really be something that we wouldn't have to...

    Parasolid Assemblies

    I'm surprised and disappointed that there seems to be no way to address this question. Surely the intent when working with Parasolid data ought to be that the assembly you output is the same as the assembly that you read back in. Whether you're simply moving the data between versions of NX...

    Parasolid Assemblies

    Is there any way that we can control the naming output of Parasolid Assemblies in NX. I was amazed to find having been given a file from another system with names I wanted to change that I simply could not do so. No matter how I tried too rename the files when output to Parasolid and imported...

    CONVERT TIF TO CGM

    I don't know if this is a follow up to a recent topic I noticed but as good a way as any is to bring in a Raster image from a tif file using Studio Tools. If you don't have the license for that then you may wish to play about with doing a similar thing via adding an image to drafting, granted...
