Are you able to call the GTAC Systems group? They can help you with any installation issues that you're experiencing.

Re: nx - how to manage designs without teamcenter
Hi Ken
>- set up "search directories" (in load options) to look for files in the appropriate order
It is possible to use search directories and also have Nx search the current directory without having to list it. ie I would like to be able to open an assembly and have Nx search directories to open standard parts in their respective remote locations and also have Nx find the parts and sub assemblies from the same directory like "from folder" without having to list the current directory to be searched. This would enable a saved "search directory" to open an assembly finding all the parts which are in company standard parts locations and all the parts and sub assemblies in the same folder as the upper level assembly\drawing

Re: Ribbon Tab automatically resizing
It looks like you've torn off a ribbon tab to keep as a separate window. I think both the position and size of these are stored per application (i.e. different from modeling, drafting, etc), even if contents are the same. Cycle through your applications to see which one might be different.

Referencing Excel spreadsheet from Teamcenter
Its pretty straight forward how to reference list data from a spreadsheet in windows, but I have had no success to connecting to spreadsheets in Teamcenter. Does anyone have an example of how to have a NX expression reference a teamcenter spreadsheet?
I have made excel datasets under item revisions and even stand alone, but I can never seem to reference them.
Thanks.

Yes I can call, I was just wondering is anyone else was getting this and resolved it before I do
Thanks

Re: File Creation date keeps changing to saved date
Yes, but in the past the file has always shown the original creation date. It makes sense for a backup file to exist during the save process... but wouldn't it make sense for the file to show the original creation date. I know in the past NX worked this way.

Re: Referencing Excel spreadsheet from Teamcenter
Hi
When defining the function from the expression editor, select the f(x) icon and enter "ug_cell". Select ug_cell_vlookup, hit OK and check the radio button for "Teamcenter Integration for NX". Select "Specify a spreadsheet" and browse to the TC folder to the item revision containing the spreadsheet. Select the dataset, choose OK and complete the remaining fields and choose OK, or leave the fields blank and hit ok to see the arguments:
ug_cell_vlookup( "<SPREADSHEET_NAME>", <TARGET>, <RANGE>, <OFFSET>, <MODE> )
For example, item 6522816, revision A contains a spreadsheet with the following: A1=1, A2=2 and A3=3.
Entering the following syntax for the expression Formula:
ug_cell_vlookup( "6522816/A", "2", "A1:A3", 0, 3 ), returns a value of 1.

Two pats not showing in Parts List
NX 9, TC 10
I have two items (circled in red) in my drawing, that don't want to show im my parts list, and I'm confused as to why. They aren't marked "reference".
Thoughts? What else could be preventing them from being listed?
↧
Re: Two pats not showing in Parts List
The "edit levels" options you show are set to "leaves only"; the circled parts are not leaves.

Hidden lines drafting standard
Hello,
To ease up the work of creating drawings I've editted the drafting standard to not show all hidden edges anymore. This created a problem which I'm struggling with to correct.
![2017-01-31 12_25_30-NX 11 - Drafting - [model4.prt (Modified) ].jpg](http://siemensplm.i.lithium.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/32454iBE3D1E3CDD88E890/image-size/large?v=1.0&px=999 "2017-01-31 12_25_30-NX 11 - Drafting - [model4.prt (Modified) ].jpg")
As you can see, lines are missing when there's an arc or circle drawn. This also happens in the other (front, sides, back etc.) views.
Any solutions?

Re: Hidden lines drafting standard
Edit the view style and make sure Silhouettes is toggled ON.

Re: Referencing Excel spreadsheet from Teamcenter
Ben, I am having problem getting past - Select "Specify a spreadsheet" and browse to the TC folder.
I have imported spreadsheets as standalone MSExcel datasets and I have also tried making a MsExcel dataset under Itemrevisions in Teamcenter.
They are just not selectable (dont even show up) through folder selection in "Teamcenter Integration for NX".
Thanks.

Re: How edge rip works ? (rookie question)
Edge rip is used to split a face that has no edge at all - so if the lower flange was not disconnected (at red line) edge rip could be used to create that split.
If you want a gap, then Normal Cutout is a better option than extrude as the edge face will be perpendicular to the sheet faces and create the correct edge for flat pattern. One method is to unbend-cutout-rebend as shown below.

Re: Arc model: convert to sheet metal ?
Try to create the model directly in the sheet metal application using contour flange and normal cutout as below, then your flat pattern will work.

Calendar image archives?
Are these still around? searching hasn't gotten me much, other than a couple individual images, and old announcments to enter the contest. At one time there was an archive, where you could go thru the various years images.
The question of, "how good can NX render?" came up here.
Thanks,
Dave

Re: Calendar image archives?
Dave I am not sure about the images. I see you are on NX 9 though. You may want to address the question about the enhancements of NX 11 to produce even better images that in the past. You can review this knowledge base article for a short movie and what we have done around rendering.

Re: Trim linear or circular pattern
Hi,
There are several things you could do here.
Let me inspire you with two of them.
1. Pattern the sketch feature
If you trim a single curve of the second sketch to the boundary of the first sketch (rectangle) then you can create the pattern as a feature pattern. In pattern feature you pattern the sketch with the single curve, while in the reuable references group you select the external refernece form the first sketch.
2. Project all the patterned curves to a sheet
If you want to contain the inner portion then you can create a sheetbody (extrude the rectangle over 0mm to get a sheet) and then project the curve pattern (the second sketch) to the sheet. The result will give you all the curves that are within the sheet boundary.
Have fun!
Regards, **bleep**
