Re: NX - Electrical Routing - Schematics
Hi Daniele,
Unluckily i have very limited knowledge on the same. I have not worked on it for quite a time.
But all i can recollect is that the libraries in NX Electrical and in LTX are seperately managed. So i guess the answer for the question "If I make a library in Electrical routing for the wire e cable .ptb ...and so on I can use them also in Schematics or I need to make another library in .desc for Schematics" seems to be NO for me at least. I only used for generating .cmp and .crn files from the schemtaics and use it for NX routing.
There should be some better integration solutions available with services/deployment team however so if possible please get in touch with your Siemens local contact on the same.
For point 5 ...are you using the latest LTX schematics update? Seems to be more of a bug to me.
Sorry i could not be of much help to you on this . Need to find someone on this forum with good knowledge on LTX .
Best Regards
Kapil

NX 11 Swept Volume problem: Design cutter
Hello Experts!
I'm struggling with design of cutter which is made by passage of special cutter on corresponding helix (1.png).
Swept volume doesn't support this kind of bodies (concave, 2.png). I tried to use swept of section of special cutter and vector direction along the helix, but the resulting body is wrong.
I was able to prepare a sample shape (3.png)
Images and nx files in the attachment.
Thanks for any help.

Re: NX - Electrical Routing - Electrical Component Navigator
Hi
The Component Wizard defines the minimum required information for a connector or a device to be assigned using NX. Beyond that you would need to import a component file (*.cmp) or a PLMXML file from a 3rd party schematics program. The column headings in the Component Navigator are defined using the ugroute_elec.cfg file (C:\Program Files\Siemens\NX 10.0\UGROUTE_ELEC\rlist). To determine which display format is being used, right click in the Component Navigator and choose Properties and it will be listed at the top of the dialog. This dialog is also used to define which Import and Export formats are used in the ugroute_elec.cfg when importing from a 3rd party schematics program, or when exporting from NX.
So, you can't define "Description" using the Component Wizard. Having assigned your connectors, you could export the content from the Component Navigator as a cmp file, edit each line using a text editor and import the edited cmp file:
!Component List File Format = Example !Type = comma_delimited !part_name, unique_id, connector_id, signal, description 10_pin_green_round, abc123, Con1, , Community Example

Re: NX 11 Swept Volume problem: Design cutter
Hi Sebastian,
Looks like from your screenshots, your tool body has concave faces.
Tool body with concave faces only works on tool paths that are planar.
This is a current limitation of Swept Volume, unfortunately.
I will investigate further and if I have some new information I will let you know.
Thanks

Re: NX - Electrical Routing - Schematics
Hi
Regarding #4, check to see if the units in your Electrical Routing environment match the units of the data you're importing into NX. By default, the UGII_ROUTING_KIT_UNITS is set to 'metric'. You can see what unit has been set using an existing NX session by selecting: "File > Help > Log File" and search for UGII_ROUTING_KIT_UNITS. Typically you'll see a factor of 25.4 difference between diameters, which is not what you're seeing, but it could be that you have multiple wires bundled together, so you're looking at a bundle diameter.
This variable is set here:
C:\Program Files\Siemens\NX 10.0\UGII\ugii_env_ug.dat
# Routing Units UGII_ROUTING_KIT_UNITS=metric #+ UGII_ROUTING_KIT_UNITS=inch
You can override the variable using the following file:
C:\Program Files\Siemens\NX 10.0\UGII\ugii_env.dat
For example:
# This file should be used to override any standard NX environment variables. # The values defined here will take precedence over the NX values. This file # will not be overwritten by an MR installation. # # Override any variables here. UGII_ROUTING_KIT_UNITS=inch #
Alternatively, you can set the variable in your Windows Environment Variables.

Set a new configuration for Import Part
Hi,
I'm working on NX Drafting and when I'm importing a part I need that the option for Layer automatically sets to Original:
How can I set this? I've searched on the Customer Defaults and on the Drafting Preferences but haven't found the correct option.

Re: Assembly Structure Modification in part list
Hello Ganesh,
It is not working ,so when we are updating part list after defining the callouts those are change to the chronological structure of the assembly..It is not working in the video which you uploaded..hope this make sense.
Thanks for your kind I fo.

Different reference set in additional view
I want have a view of a part finished with another view for in process machining using a reference set. Is this possible?

Re: Set a new configuration for Import Part
You should NOT be using the import -> part command to make a drawing of a part; this will create an independent copy of the geometry in your drafting part. Instead, the recommended practice is to add the model as a component in your drawing file (assemblies -> component -> add component), then switch to the drafting application to create and detail views of the part. By adding a component, you are referencing the model but not copying it. When the model gets updated, the drawing will update to reflect the changes.

Merge an assembly into an unique body
Hello there !
I'm working on a model that has already been used by a guy last year, and he made some videos to explain the different steps of his work. The model is an assembly, with 5 patterned components. The thing is, something happened between 2 videos and is not explained :
He has suppressed some geometric features, but I really wonder how this body appeared. When selected, it represents the whole assembly, and it seems to be in the same file. I would need to know how it's done to go on working with this model.
Thank you by advance, and forgive my language mistakes.

Re: Set a new configuration for Import Part
Thank you both, I tried this but when I go to the Component Properties the default that is set to Layer Option is "No Change (Mixed)"
why is this?
thanks

Re: Assembly Arrangements
Hello, there is training for Assembly Arrangements at the Learning Advantage site. Located here: "https://training.plm.automation.siemens.com/". You do need a login and password for this site. If you can access this site and browse under Self-Paced Courses, you can expand out CAD-Foundation, Assembly Modeling - Fundamentals and find a course called "Assembly arrangements and component patterns".

Re: NX - Electrical Routing - Bend Radius
Hi Daniele,
You can probably use the Bend Radius table option..
Honestly speaking i never used corners (but only in piping/HVAC) in Electrical routing...mostly spline path worked for me so finally i checked for the miminum bend radius design check.
Do let us know about your requirement in more detail and we can surely take a look at it.

Linking PMI dimensions across in-process models
I am creating top-down in-process models using the same method described in this video.
The geometry is linked via WAVE, but is there any way to copy/cascade PMI dimensions/tolerances/notes down the manufacturing process while maintaining associativity?

Re: Merge an assembly into an unique body
Hi,
One method i can think of is
Your friend has taken WAVE links of all the components in the assembly part. United them (if possible) and then used REMOVE PARAMETERS to save it a single UNPARAMETRIZED BODY.
Attaching one video hereith.

Re: NX - Electrical Routing - Bend Radius
Hi
You can define a bend radius either using the wires.ptb (or cables.ptb) by adding a MIN_BEND_RADIUS column to the file. Here's the documentation: Other characteristics in a PTB file.
Alternatively, NX recognizes the same characteristic if it has been defined in a 3rd party schematics product. Just be sure to add the characteristic to the Import format of the ugroute_elec.cfg.
Therefore, each cable can have it's own value defined in NX based on a specific cable type (using PTB) or by importing netlists (using ugroute_elec.cfg).

Re: Hole callout limitation
This topic came up here, as we use both methods of dimensioning threads, because there is no single method that works for everything. When I inquired about "Feature parameters" being retired, this was the response I got from GTAC:
I've talked with the Developer on ER 7776177. There are currently plans to put this enhancement into a near future release. Additionally, there is currently no retirement release set for Feature Parameters. This tool will not be enhanced, but it will at least remain available for use until a retirement release is set. It seems to be almost certain that the fix for the issue will be implemented before Feature Parameters is retired, thus you should have a workaround until the issue is fixed.

Re: Merge an assembly into an unique body
Hi,
Thank you for your answer.
The astonishing thing is, even with this unique body, the edges between the different components are still visible, and the faces are still separated. For some reasons, my Unite operation retain some edges / faces separated and merge the others...
