Re: Threaded Hole Callout
Re: Populating title block with Material and Weight
I just finished testing NX11.0.2 on Tc11.2.3. The following mapping works to map the NX Material assigned using the Material Library to a property called "a2_Material" on the Tc Item Revision:
{ Dataset type="UGMASTER"
"NX_Material" : ItemRevision.a2_Material /master=cad /description="Material"
}
You will not see NX Material in the list of NX Attributes until you assign a material.
I then opened my A4 drawing template and created two new DB_DWG_TEMPLATE attributes via the Attribute Templates command; DB_DWG_TEMPLATE_NX_Material and DB_DWG_TEMPLATE_Material. Using the References option within the Note dialog I referenced each DB_DWG_TEMPLATE attribute and placed the note on the template. When creating a new A4 drawing from the template, both references displayed the material I had assigned to the associated UGMASTER.
So you don't need to take the step that Larry did, which was include the DB_DWG_TEMPLATE attributes in the mapping for Material. The problem with pointing to the MassPropMass attribute, using Attribute Templates, is that its value is not inherited in the UGMASTER to the instance level, so no value is displayed (ER 1912129). One solution that works (I verified it) is to use Larry's solution, to map the attribute created using attribute templates to the "mass" property in the UGMASTER named reference:
{ Dataset type="UGPART" "DB_DWG_TEMPLATE_NX_Mass" : ItemRevision.GRM(IMAN_specification,UGMASTER).NR(UGPART-MASSPR).mass /master=iman /description="Mass (kg)" }
I had to edit the syntax of my note to point to the "Mass" alias attribute that Larry's mapping created (rather than use the DB_DWG_TEMPLATE_NX_Mass attribute).

Copy drawing sheet into the similar part
Hello
I have some parts with similar geometry (i made them by copying one part and changing some dimensions after that). Then i made a drawing sheet for one of them with views, full description and annotations. How can i transfer this drawing sheet to another part with views' dependency changing?
When i use copy/paste command for the sheet i get the only linked one.
Is there any solytion of my problem or the only way is to make drawings before copying the part?
How to show hidden lines of selected parts in assembly drawing NX11
Hi,
I want to show hidden lines of selected parts in assembly drawing. I am using NX11.
Actually I want to show some of the important area in which parts are mating.
can anybody help me reagrding this?
Thanks in advance.

Arrangement NX10
Hi Experts!
I want to show in a training how to define an arrangement through Move component and detection collision.
I do not know how to get component moving stops exacly when collision is detected.
Have I to change to Arrangements Apply to Used in Settings in Move Component Box?
What is the difference between Highlight Collision and Stop Before Collision in Collisin Detection in Move Component Box?
And ...how I have to apply this Move Component command in order to get the movement exact that can the components move and avoid collision with rest of Components in Assembly and in order to save in an Arrangement?
Thanks in advanced for your help!!!
NX Routing mechanical change in stock diameter
Hello,
Does anyone know if it is possible to change stock diameter of the routing with automatic changing in diameters of all fitting objects? For example, once you created the routing consists of pipes, elbows and tees having same diameter 150mm, when you change stock diameter to 200mm all elbows and tees for this routing would change their diameters as well to 200mm.
thank you in advance
Andrei.
Re: NX Routing mechanical change in stock diameter
Yes, I also didn't find this functionality in NX.
In SolidWorks you can do it quity easy using standard functionality/button.
It would will be good to know how to realize this in NX.
Thanks
Journal files in NX
Hi abhinav here,
I wanted to create a journal file in which , if I have a sketch already made all the others commands which are identical for my daily work could be able to execute .. the only thing changes is the shape of my basic sketch that also not too much ...
Is this action possible with NX Journal ??
Thanks in advance !!
Re: Journal files in NX
Hi
Check the commands you are using with respect to the 'Journal coverage'
ID balloon add colour infill
Hi
I have a requirement from production to highlight the fixing method of certain components by having a colour infill or background to an ID balloon on the assembly drawing.
I know there are many more sophisticated methods of doing this with PMI etc. but this is an easy initial win with our current practices.
I have attached a PDF example that uses symbols positioned over the balloons. This would be fine but they don't align associatively very well when you repositin the ID balloons.
Re: ID balloon add colour infill
Try using the menu -> edit -> annotation -> origin command to associate the symbol with the balloon (or vice-versa).
Re: Corners in Routing Mechanical
Hi Kapil, off course!
Follow images that explain somethings that I need to do.
On picture Frame1 you can view the first moment, add stock.
On picture Frame_Solution1 has a miter treatment between stocks 1 and 2, while stock 3 go to there.
On Picture Frame_Solution2 has a cope treatment between stocks 2 and 3, while stock 1 go to there without ajust your orientation about line, I just can do this when stock 1 is inside of the line in NX.
Re: Populating title block with Material and Weight
So, without the Teamcenter mapping, the NX_Material attribute won't be created in the ugpart file? I hope that is the case, because I assigned a material, saved, and do not see it in the properties of my test file.
That said, I took a stab at editing our teamcenter mappings, but have not had them imported, does this look correct? I wanted to provide the option to use the other system attributes too:
{ Dataset type="UGMASTER" "DB_PART_NAME" : Item.object_name /write_once /description="Part Name" "DB_PART_DESC" : Item.object_desc /write_once /description="Part Description" "NX_Material" : ItemRevision.cgr4_Material /master=cad /description="Material" { Item type="CGR4_Item" "site" : Item.cgr4_Site /description="site" "Year" : Item.cgr4_Year /description="Year" "SectionComplex" : Item.cgr4_SectionComplex /master=iman /description="cgr4_SectionComplex_toNX" "MeasuredWeight" : ItemRevision.cgr4_MeasuredWeight /master=iman /description="Measured Weight" "Materialdetail" : ItemRevision.cgr4_Materialdetail /master=iman /description="Material Detail" "IPN" : Item.cgr4_IPN /description="Internal Part Number" "CarType" : Item.cgr4_CarType /description="Car Type" } } { Dataset type="UGPART" # (hard-wired) DB_DATASET_ID : "Part File ID" # (hard-wired) DB_DATASET_REV : "Part File Rev" "DB_DWG_TEMPLATE_NX_Mass" : ItemRevision.GRM(IMAN_specification,UGMASTER).NR(UGPART-MASSPR).mass /master=iman /description="Mass (lbm)" "DB_DWG_TEMPLATE_NX_Weight" : ItemRevision.GRM(IMAN_specification,UGMASTER).NR(UGPART-MASSPR).weight /master=iman /description="Weight (lbf)" "DB_DWG_TEMPLATE_NX_Area" : ItemRevision.GRM(IMAN_specification,UGMASTER).NR(UGPART-MASSPR).area /master=iman /description="Area (in^2)" "DB_DWG_TEMPLATE_NX_Volume" : ItemRevision.GRM(IMAN_specification,UGMASTER).NR(UGPART-MASSPR).volume /master=iman /description="Volume (in^3)" "DB_DWG_TEMPLATE_NX_Density" : ItemRevision.GRM(IMAN_specification,UGMASTER).NR(UGPART-MASSPR).density /master=iman /description="Density (lb/in^3)" }
I suspect the "MASSPR" needs to be WEIGHTPR, etc?
Re: How to show hidden lines of selected parts in assembly drawing NX11
Hi
Take a look at Render Sets.
Alternatively: Break-out Section View, or Pictoral Break-out Section View
Regards, Ben
Re: How to show hidden lines of selected parts in assembly drawing NX11
Maybe also secondary component can be a solution.
Re: Populating title block with Material and Weight
Hi
It looks good, though I would probably place the material mapping within the custom item type section since you're pointing to the Item Revision of that custom item:
{ Item type="CGR4_Item"
"NX_Material" : ItemRevision.cgr4_Material /master=cad /description="Material"
...
...
}
Regarding your UGPART mappings - these will apply to all UGPART item types, if that's your intent.
Regards, Ben
Re: How to show hidden lines of selected parts in assembly drawing NX11
There are two methods for doing this in Drafting - render sets or secondary geometry.
Render sets give you more flexibility in the display of individual components. Secondary geometry treats all designated "secondary" components with the same display characteristics.
Here are a few links to information in the Help that describe the different methods, and example procedures:

Re: Populating title block with Material and Weight
So if I move them into the same { Item type="CGR4_Item" section, that will make them available for all NX part drawings? that is my only intent, and possibly display them in the summary page in Teamcenter.
Re: Populating title block with Material and Weight
No, leave the UGPART mappings as they are, as you want them for all NX part drawings. You would only place them within 'Item type="CGR4_Item"' if they were only applicable to that item type.
EDIT: I just saw your other question regarding MASSPR. Leave it as MASSPR - this is the name of the form in the UGMASTER named references.
