    Wave, save A as new revision of existing B

    a984928, I did a small test and it worked wonderfully. Wave links were relinked correctly and the drawing didn't loose dimensions associativity. I will do more testing but this looks very promising so far. Thanks

    Interesting. Having as a journal is awesome, I will try and do it manually to see the result. Regards

    Wave, save A as new revision of existing B

    Hi In NX9/TC10, is there a way to save one revision of file A, as a new revision of an existing file B? Save as, new item, gives errors when file b already exists. File, new, also fails if file b already exists. Clone assembly also fails if file b already exists. So far the only options are...

    Grouped Linked Bodies in NX9

    Hi cowski, thanks for replying, but I'm afraid that setting is not available for me, please see attached image. These are the settings you are talking about?http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=32386b63-afd6-4442-8c2e-0e40d8eeb30b&file=Snap_2015-12-14_at_16.16.44.png

    Grouped Linked Bodies in NX9

    Hi, we migrated from NX8 to NX9.0.2.5 and we noticed that creating wave linked bodies is behaving differently. If we link multiple bodies that are contained in the same component, it creates 1 linked body feature in the part navigator, but that single linked body represents multiple bodies in...

    A tool or target body is not a sheet metal body

    Hi John, in case the models 'think' they are sheet metal, do you think this could cause any issue in the future? slow model regeneration or something similar? I am not completely sure the bodies were never converted to sheet metal, I know the -convert to sheet metal- command, is there a reverse...

    A tool or target body is not a sheet metal body

    Hi Here is a mystery. We recently migrated from NX8 to NX9 and we are getting warnings in the Boolean unites: -A tool or target body is not a sheet metal body. Convert to sheet metal may be required to support further sheet metal features.- We don't use the sheet metal application. Its only a...

    NX7.5 'Save as' to an existing part number

    Hi, in NX8 when i run into this situation i just open the target file, in this case assy2, delete everything in there and do a file, import, part. Here i suggest choosing to import to the original layer, destination to be WCS, and if the assy1 is already in TC, select to "import part from TC"...

    NXOpen: code to update the status bar when saving causes flcikering in status bar

    Hi I tested your code in .net and NX8 and it works as intended. How many status updates do you have? Perhaps some of the operations between status updates are done so fast that the status message is barely visible(flickering). Have you tried timing with code the intervals between the update...

    Reactivate or Refocus NX Session with NX Open

    The SetUndoMark functions are to stablish internal NX undo marks, like ctrl + Z. They are not intended to show or hide any dialog. I did a couple of tries at showing an existing nx dialog, but with no luck, i'm not sure if a NX dialog can be shown with NXOpen, usually the reason of using NXOpen...

    Reactivate or Refocus NX Session with NX Open

    Hi If I understand correctly, you run the NXOpen app and NX just hangs(stops working) until you close your NXOpen app? If so, my guess is you are using the .ShowDialog() (Modal) to launch your form. Try using .Show() (Not Modal) instead. Regards

    NX 7.5 synchronize subassembly layers glitch

    Hi, we organize our assemblies with a specific layer for each type of component. Instead of creating the drawings in the same part, we create another part and add the desired assembly as a component, in the component properties we set the layer to be -specified layer 137- then we proceede to...
