Re: Automatic Text Annotation - Editing "DB_Part_No"

12345 is the base number and A01 is the configuration.  If I want to use automatic text annotation on the drawing to only point out the base number within the ID, how do i go about doing that

 

<WRef1*0@DB_PART_NO> will only display "12345-A01" but how do I get only "12345" if possible?

You can use the Expression editor to create expressions read these Part Attributes and return your desired string, which could then be referenced in your annotation.  For example (assuming DB_PART_NO is driving ID):

 

first(splitstring(DB_PART_NO;"-"))  // returns "12345"

If I were to use <W@$SH_PART_NAME> , then "12345-A01/01( ) -PANEL" would be returned (ID / Rev / Name). Is there a way to only get "12345" out of this?

Only with expression string manipulation (as mentioned above), though you cannot access system attributes (attributes preceeded with "$") with the expression editor.

Also, if the ladder is "Part_Name" why is it returning the ID, rev, and name and nit just the name?

If you want the name, reference the DB_PART_NAME Part Attribute in your annotation.

 , I tried Scale command from Insert -> Derived Curves -> Scale. Use Command Finder to get it. Its dialog is a bit different from Scale Curve of Sketch but operation is much fast.

Expressions to a spreadsheet

User wants to export some expressions to a spreadsheet, then manually edit, by adding expressions, and then import into another NX file.

 

Update for external change, within the expression editor, looks to be able to import the spreadsheet data, but the regular import/export uses a .exp (text) file.

 

Is there a way that we are not finding?

Update for external change will update expressions that reference an external spreadsheet (ug_cell_read and similar functions). To the best of my knowledge, it does not import (i.e. create new) expressions in the part file.

Such exported file (.exp) can be edited with any text editor. Important thing is to add expressions with correct format. Export with some test expressions to know what format is needed for expressions with different units,types. Add new desired expressions to exported expression file then use it to import in another NX part.

Re: convert line segments into continuous curve?

I think you need to ask how precise you need these splines to be.

 

If you try to create a spline through every point, you will get garbage between points, because you would be including the inacuracy in each measurement point to the Nth degree.  

The art of splines is to get the simplest curve that accurately represents what you want.

 

You could arbitrarily pick points to come up with a spline that visually fits the rest of the points, or you would need to use something like Fit Curve to give a bet fit between the points.

 

You probably need to use multiple splines, since the surface of the vane is entirely different than the end radii.

Hey Taylor,

 

I know this article is a few years old... but wondering... is there anyway to get to that command to gather up the DFAs and Help menus without the Author Checkmate license?

Seems we don't have the Author license but would love to have that single view of all the checkmate info.

 

Thanks

Paul

That's what he's been trying, but hasn't had any luck yet.  I'll have him verify the format, and keep trying.

 

Is there any plan for this?  The new expression editor is very spreadsheet like, so an export out/in, doesn't seem all that far fetched, to a non-code writting person.

Object layers seemed to be grouped together and I can't figure out how to ungroup

I have a single piece nx part in NX11 and am trying to assign or move features into different layers. If I select the feature I want to assign and use the "move to layer" command it changes every feature that was on that same layer along with it. I can't seem to figure out how to seperate the feature from the rest.

To clarify, I have lets say 12 features on layer 100; bolt holes and extrudes. I want to take 2 of those 12 features and move them to layer 101. After completing the command and only selecting the 1 feature, it moves all 12 features to layer 101.

I don't ever remember having this issue before moving to NX 11

am I missing something?

Thanks

Features can't be moved to individual layers, only bodies.  So any feature you try to move, will actually be moving the body inwhich that feature exists.

Assuming that some sort of boolean (unite/subtract/intersect) has occurred between your holes, extrudes and any other feature in this part that you're attempting to move to a different layer, the entire body is moved (along with the tool body features that were booleaned to make that body).  The exception would be that any construction features (datums, sketches, etc) that were used to create those tool bodies will remain on their original layer unless selected for the move.

 

The only scenario I can think of where this could occur is if you're creating tool bodies and then creating separate boolean features (e.g., Extrude and then Unite as separate commands) and in the Settings section of the Unite/Subtract dialog you have "Keep Tool" (and/or Keep Target) checked which creates a copy of the tool body after the boolean.  These residual tool bodies you could isolate from the main body and place on a new layer.

Hey, Paul. Good to hear from you.

I'm pretty sure the Knowledge Fusion Author license will also get you there. Can you try checking ON a Knowledge Fusion license (with a part open, go to File --> All Applications --> Knowledge Fusion) and see if that doesn't light up the Check-Mate Author dialog for you?

Thanks, Paul!

,

 

Fitting splines to points can turn into a mess very quickly if you're not familiar with the nuances of splines (degree/segmentation) and how those nuances can affect the resulting surfaces.  Most of this is dependent on your design/surface requirements and what you're attempting to model.

 

With all due respect to previous responses and in addition to what  has suggested, you can also try using analytic geometry (lines and/or arcs) to simplify the profile which you're trying to create (you may not have to use all splines in all areas - you might be able to do this will all arcs).  You may not be able to fit every single point onto your final curves - but that's sometimes how trying to fit geometry to points will go.

First: Thanks for all your answers!

 

Here are the environment variables that are set:

UGII_ROOT_DIR=C:\Program Files\Siemens\NX 9.0
UGS_LICENSE_BUNDLE=NX11110;NX13300N
UGS_LICENSE_SERVER=28000@XXXXXXXX

 

I'd like to review the logfiles, but, truth be told, I'm a total newbie to NX and I don't know where to find them.

 

Can I user different variables for NX 6 and NX 9? How to name them?

During exporting PDF drawing from NX: Instead of displaying default DTM ID, I want the drawing no attribute to be automtically displayed. (refer the yellow highlighted area in attachment).
