Hi,
we have a joint venture with a Chinese company and we are starting design together. We change file via step, but we are impossible to open them. There is a reason ?
Attached an example.

NX Electrode Design, drawing templates modification
Hello,
Our NX customer would like to use his own EDM/CNC drawing templates in NX 11/12 Electrode Design. Attached pictures shows his requirements. The most important is EDM drafting and its automatic dimensioning the electrode position from MSET_CSYS to the CSYS at the bottom of the electrode. I know this reference CSYS can be defined in the blank template, but how can we force NX to create this auto dimensions?
The default NX EDM/CNC drawing templates appears to be quite uneditable from NX interface. Is it possible to obtain this templates with automatic dimensioning from user/GUI-level or it requires modification of NX code / KF?
Thanks for any help.
P.S. There is a Siemens manual “Electrode Design Setup” from 2015, where a chapter concerning modification of the electrode drawing templates was planned. Is there a newer version of this document available, with this chapter completed?)
Best Regards,
Łukasz

Re: NX Electrode Design, drawing templates modification
Have you tried the templates shipping with NX?
For the template of the electrode position the dimensions from the MSET are always created automatically by the electrode design software.
We do not use the template for the electrode blank drawing, but have our blank parts altered to include the drawing directly, where we already added all dimensions. This was done in NX 4 where we started to use electrode design, so it might no longer be needed to do so.

Tools/Materials/Manage Materials will list all the local materials in the assembly. You can sort the list by component which should help to spot any duplicate materials.

How to make a solid to a sheet metal without losing colored faces ?
Hello
How to make a solid to a sheet metal without losing colored faces ?
- Cleanup Utility makes it to a empty grey plate.
- Sheetmetal plate should be 1.0mm thick but because it is a solid model those "jogs" that are extruded \ cut are maybe 1.24mm thick around bends.

Re: NX Routing - Flexible Pipe questions
Hi,
1.
I have a strange behavior wit the spline path for the routing.
I set it up to be locked but when I add extra points to the line it changes the length sometimes.
not a bit...could be 20+ mm
Is it a bug?
please see attached screenshot
2.
Also sometimes, when I insert a flexible pipe assembly (with fittings where 'fitting ports' been specified) into my main assembly the start of the spline jumps to the end of the fitting, instead of the specified port... very strange and dangerous, every tiem I have to check if it starts from the rigth point.
3.
The splines have to have a middle point for using locked lenght, but when I move my assembly that middle point trying to stay in the same point ,so I have to re-definy every time.
For example, I have a swing lever, a conn rod and a sliding yoke.
We bought this routing license to check the length of the pipes at each end position of the movement.
Is there any way to solve this?
4.
My colleauge wanted to use my routing pipe assemblies and he got many strange errors.
It turned out he had version 11.0.1.1 and I had 11.0.2.7
I would not have thought that a not major release would cause issues like this, or at least could tell me why that is happening.
We are a bit disappointed with NX and the routing license.
many thanks,
please help meee

Re: Blank Nesting
Hi Dave,
Thanks for your quick response
How to define boundary size (length and width in the specific value) in the blank nesting feature so that we can define an optimal number of part and we can maximize the material utilization?
of course this is related to sheet metal part
I tried it in the NX12 but it look like not flexible, we cannot define length and width in the specific value
can we do it in the NX blank nesting feature?
Please advice
Thank you

Re: Blank Nesting
Hello
OK, so you are in the Progressive Die application. I must refer this to someone more experienced in that area.

Constraint Validation
I have this problem already for I think several years and it keeps anoying me.
Very often when I want to place an assembly constraint I get this message (attached).
How can I make sure this warning does not appear anymore?
I asked it before in another forum but didn't get it solved. My colleagues don't have this problem and we use the same customer defaults. Even a new pc didn't help.

Re: Constraint Validation
Hi
This warning message appears when you have part referencing rules defined for product interface. Open/make "3-1501-6100-26" as displayed part. Go to Tools > Product Interface. Under group 'Part Referencing Rules', set Assembly Constraints to "Allow Any".

Hopefully it will be clear to everyone what is going on when we make an announcement at PLM Connections in the first of June.
Until then.... Stay tuned in.

Note difference in NX10 and NX11?
Hello, everyone,
I am doing titleblock update, linking a note to part attribute. I used NX11. So If I create a note in NX11, it shows a long window with various funtionalities in which I will go symbol->relation->insert Part attribute.
Today, I moved back to NX10 (production use), I tried to do the same. But When I click the Note button, trying to create a note, there is just a "text to input" and specify location. No sysmol so that I can link to a part attribute.
Trying to find out is it some settings I should turn on to show these advanced commands? Thanks for any ideas!

Re: Note difference in NX10 and NX11?
sorry. ..I assume it will be different role you turned on and actually it needs a restart of NX to see the effect...I did not know that
