Well in my opinion, that is a horrible assumption! Yes, in a perfect world where surfaces are all connected flawlessly with edges tangent to each other, the single curve selection would be the least efficient.. But in the world of surfacing this is hardly, if ever the norm! Plus, in the rare...
Sorry I forgot to attach the file! Here is the video.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=c3946b0a-cb17-46a3-8068-acd8ce68acfa&file=SELECTION_POPUP.zip
John,
I have attached a video of the box that drives us crazy. My mistake - Although the selection intent box should have a disable feature too, it is not the one that pops up mid-selection within a function. Since it doesn't have a hover-over name, I can only describe it as a curve rule popup...
Would be nice if it was an option! The "Selection Intent" box that pops up is extremely frustrating. As a surfacing designer, I have to offset surfaces, trim and extend, and sew surfaces all day long. Less than 1% of these surfaces/edges can be extended together, yet a little friendly box pops...
Also - If you have 'disabled' the shortcut popup for a certain feature, when you select a feature of that type but decide you made an error and want to cancel that operation by pressing [ESC] key, you have to hit it twice. Its like a hidden sub menu is still open that you have to Esc from before...
I am more of a shortcut key & macro guy myself, so mapping functions or macros to buttons on my SpacePilot, mouse, and quick keys on my keyboard are more natural for me.
So when a new function is created to help speed things up for some (I this case, in the form of the popup shortcut), it ends...
I watched it, and like the idea of it. My problem is that if I try to duplicate what is in that video using a socket head cap screw, the pocket created does not correspond to the screw selected. I have to manually edit the screw hole series feature to correct this. Also, the counterbore has a...
John,
I have downloaded the machinery library from GTAC, it is quite extensive and looks well put together.. The problem is that it lacks sub-tool reference sets to subtract counter bores and tapped holes. So since I love to learn and I would have to edit the master model to create the sub...
I am trying to create a Fasteners Library that contains three types of fasteners. (Socket Head Cap Screws, Button head socket cap screws, and Flat head socket screws)
Listing what I have done so far, tell me if I am going about this incorrectly.
I created one Master File that contains both a...
I grabbed a GRIP program that JohnRBaker uploaded to extract a points XYZ location and output the results to a text file. I cannot figure out how change the way the data is output.
As is, the code below creates a file that has a text structure like;
X,Y,Z Coordinates of Points...
When using this Journal to establish dimensions that can be displayed in drafting (Parts list) is there a function that can be modified within the journal to round the result to the third decimal?
The supplied VB Journal creates bounding locations for X,Y,Z but does not cap the decimal place...
John B - That's what I was afraid of.. Just have to make time! Just wanted to have a thread for it so when I find a solution I can post what I learn. Thanks for the reply though.
John L - I have also been able to workaround past occurrences by removing parameters, then splitting, cutting or...
**I have attached a NX7.5 .prt file for example.
The issue is that sometimes our part files will suddenly have an unknown object out in space that ends up messing with our standard views. (TOP, BOTTOM, SIDE etc.)
Normally clicking 'Top' view will move camera to absolute top-down view and fit...
Running UG NX 7.5.3.3 on a x64 OS.
Can someone point me to the setting or tick box to allow input to be retained in edit curve dialog boxes after a command has been executed?
Example: If I use the 'curve length' command to extend both sides of a line by 50mm, when I hit 'apply' the start and...
Quick question..
In NX6 if you were in modeling and exported your current model as a PDF without entering drafting, the exported PDF was in 3d format. (you could rotate the model in Adobe)
Since switching to NX7, if we export the same model as PDF we get a 3d Wireframe model that cannot be...
Yea, it does need to be a component. We use multiple copies of it in each job - sometimes up to 12 of them. Its very easy to drag and drop copies of it into a job and just tell it where to go.
Unless you are aware of a way to create multiple copies of it for each job without it being a...
