Does any body know of a way to use an expression to change the rho value of a conic in a sketch? I have a series of sketches, each consisting of guidelines and a conic, and each of these conics is used to form a surface. I have another control sketch that creates different rho values at...

Thanks Anthony[thumbsup2]

thread561-314794 Following on from the above post I can get the flat pattern annotations to display the single label with three callouts on the flat pattern view in the model but when I add a flat pattern view in the drawing file it has three separate labels with the three separate callouts...

Does anyone know of a manual on how to use Xpress Review? Its a great little program but when a client (who doesn't use NX) is on the other side of the world it can be difficult for them to pick up how to use it fully. I can find nothing anywhere [sad] Thanks Munners

Have you tried instance geometry?

Fixed! Must be a bug in 7.5.4.4 Munners

Thanks Toost I'll go back and apply materials at a component level. Munners

Hi John Maybe its 7.5.4.4 as opposed to 7.5.5.4? I'll try the update Thanks for your help Munners

Sorry, Forgot to attach movie file Munnershttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=e790c96b-5dfb-43cd-b83f-ce6bbf605a2e&file=movie-JRB.avi

Hi John Thanks for the help. Just to make sure I understand, you added the arrangement called 'Movable' because it does NOT ignore constraints? And the 'pin' component was added so that you have better control over the assembly, i.e. you can simply re-position that component and the other...

Thanks John I understand what you are saying but cannot get the sequence to run correctly. I have made sure that Assembly constraints are on in the Sequence Navigator but still have the same problem. I have attached the assembly and a movie to show what i am experiencing. In modelling, the...

Hi guys When doing an assembly sequence, is there a way to access either an existing arrangement or position a component using assembly constraints? Neither of these commands seem to be available when in the sequence toolbar? Using NX 7.5 Thanks Munners

Hi guys Using NX 7.5, I have built an assembly (call it assembly A) and applied materials to the all the components. If I do a studio display of Assembly A it all looks good with various colours, translucency etc. and I can produce a high quality image. I then added this to another assembly...

Hi We work on large assemblies and so work with the cache system on. We also work with "Load Referenced documents" switched off and only load the components as needed. Being a large assembly, there are Catproducts with other Catproducts as components. When one of these component Catproducts is...

Hi Guys NX 7.5 We save our models in the format A123-45678B and then the drawings of the models are saved as A123-45678B-DRG. In this format the "B" is the revision number. I usually just use <W@$SH_PART_NAME> Is there a way to get a note on the drawing that only says A123-45678 (which is...

Hi guys In NX7.5 I do a flat pattern from a sheetmetal part. After I replace the view to see the flat pattern, I add the text <W@$SH_PART_NAME> so that the file name appears on the pattern, this can then be marked during the plate cutting process. When I do a drawing of all the flat patterns...

Thanks Cowski, thats a good tip and i've done that in the past but just back on topic, does anyone know if NX can output polylines from flat pattern data? Thanks Munners

I am working with a customer who says he has to have polylines for his CNC machine as their software can't cope with the splines in the cutting file? Can NX output polylines, or even better, closed polylines from flat pattern data? Thanks Munners

Is there a way to control the annotation in Flat pattern in NX Sheet Metal? Specifically, to change the "Bend Angle" and "Bend Radius" tolerance from n.nn to n? Thanks Munners
