    NX9 replace component "glitch" answer from GTAC

    This sounds ridiculous to me. Here is the issue: "I have noticed one bug in NX 9 ever since we upgraded from 8.5. It is an issue in drafting where it does not allow you to replace a component that is in the drawing. This unfortunately leads to having to completely redo any view that is based...

    Load Options question / suggestion for NX

    It would be nice if the load options menu had a setting where, when a file was opened, it used the previous load options for that file. Does this exist and I am just missing it? This is different than "As Saved" but would be more like "As previously loaded" or something. Right now I save...

    NX8.5 Load Error - Memory Access Violation

    Recently I have come across two separate files which give me this error when I try to load them. Has anyone come across this before and have a way to fix it? I have tried several things, loading structure only, adding it as a component to open it that way, made a copy of the file, etc and...

    Best cpu and video card for NX?

    Thanks for the tip, it may be blowing the budget but I had been eyeing the Xeon Quad core 3.6 and the Quadro 6000 card. Looks like the card is highly recommended by Siemens.

    Best cpu and video card for NX?

    I should add that the price range I am looking for is $1500-$2000ish

    Best cpu and video card for NX?

    I'm looking to buy/build a new Windows system and wondering what cpu and video card to go with for NX 7.5. I was thinking 64 bit i7 with 16 gigs of ram. Any thoughts on what card will run best as far as model rotation and generating 3D renderings? Currently I have an ATI FireGL V7700 on a 64 bit...

    Drafting objects disappearing glitch

    Anyone else experience this: I will zoom in to my dwg notes or parts list and certain portions of them disappear. Zoom out and they show back up. Usually switching to modelling then back will fix the problem for a while but it still comes back eventually. It does this on any file and started...

    Rendering issue

    I'm noticing a strange problem when rendering a large environment with about 3400 bodies. I can get a great looking image with a smaller model say 2000 bodies, but when I add more parts and do nothing else the renderings seem to just skip over certain details and the result will be just a flat...

    Does anyone use NX to program for a 5 axis CNC?

    I agree that it seems unusual. We use NX for all of our modeling and for our 3 axis thermwood router (I wrote the post for it) and our 4-axis HAAS (do not know who wrote post for it). But apparently we have been using Master Cam for the 5-axis. I hate doing this because that means we have to...

    Does anyone use NX to program for a 5 axis CNC?

    Curious about this because I was told that NX's post builder is not sophisticated enough to write a post script for our Thermwood 5-axis CNC. Thanks! EDIT: We currently program in Master Cam and use a post script that we purchased and cannot edit.

    NX 7.5 Sketcher has some issues

    Im on 7.5.2.5 eng-tips upload failed but I uploaded the vid to my youtube. I cant access youtube at work so I hope this is right: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGG92PQTMTk&feature=youtube_gdata_player Sorry for the poor quality, my phone was having issues dealing with the contrast. Anyway...

    NX 7.5 Sketcher has some issues

    Mp? Modeling package I guess? I am in bundle: NX11110. its difficult to provide an example because of the proprietary nature of the data. Working more with this sketch I ran into another glitch where I have a fully constrained sketch and add a lines, then make it coincident with another line, no...

    NX 7.5 Sketcher has some issues

    This is probably going to be more of a rant than a useful post but in NX 7.5 sketcher has several bugs that are extremely annoying. First, its possible for you to have a fully constrained sketch and for NX to display "Sketch needs -2 constraints", not a big deal because it doesn't stop you in...

    Tolerant curves issue

    jerry, your method worked great to regain a nice edge. Previously I would have edited the curve length of the bad edges by shortening it a little, say .01. Then I would trim and extend the edge .01 or so and bridge the curves with the bridge constrained to the faces. Then trim the sheet to the...

    Tolerant curves issue

    I do eventually need to get the tooling guy to learn UG to keep parameters and make tool updates easier but for now I might give that a try as well, thanks.

    Tolerant curves issue

    Thanks, I'll give that a try. It looks like you are referring to an edge between two connected faces as opposed to an edge of a single face. I do not have that but I could always add a step to create an adjacent face and remove it afterwards. I have only ran in to this a few times with a native...

    Tolerant curves issue

    Hello, I am running into an issue with tolerant curves that is very time consuming to get around. I get the error on the edge of a complex multi-face surface that has been trimmed by another complex surface. The edge looks fine but if I go to select it the segments of the edge do not connect...
