    NX11 Left Border Bar File ?

    I'd like to create a company "Left Border Bar" from a text file so it is available for all users on the NX customization server. What is the extension for that file? Does it follow the same text arrangement as other toolbars? Is there any example shipped with NX11 ? Thanks. D.

    That "Stop Before Collision" does not get recorded into a journal... This approach should simulate the same: 1. Set the direction into which you want to move your component 2.

    Fastener assembly placing 96 joints take too much time, is it normal? NX10/TC10

    FYI: we are seeing that poor performance since NX 75 + Teamcenter 10 and what Siemens called at the time "a better integration of the two products". It has been so bad for every command that involves a massive live update of the Teamcenter Structure (typically adding/replacing fasteners) that we...

    Journal to Add Bolts Automatically In Assembly???

    <The hole recognition was not smart enough... > That is the main reason why our API has been developed: so to be able to work on geometry recognition in an history free environment. No limitations. D.
