Reusable Library...

[MrBigelow]

Hi Everyone.

I was wondering if there was a way to set up/customize my reusable library. I am a mold designer and working on nx 8.5. I find my self wasting a lot of time downloading and copying commonly used parts from job to job and was wondering if nx had a way i could put in my common parts and just add then as needed in my assembles ie my reusable library.

thanks
Peter

Have you downloaded the NX Machinery Reuse Library from the GTAC software download site yet? If not, I would start there.

And even if you have previously downloaded one or more of the libraries, if you go back to the GTAC site there was a file there titled 'Standard_Parts_Creation_Best_Practice_v1.1.zip'. Download and extract the files and you will find some documents and examples to help you set-up your own customized reuse library entries which will leverage the NX schemes for adding them to your assemblies in an intelligent manner.
