Hi, I am looking for a solution for our users to check the bend radius of a tube, please let me know if there is a way...
Is there a way to find the bend radius of a tube in NX11 ?

use of expression for scaling the model
how can i use expression for scaling the model.
suppose i have one body which is to be scaled down or up depending on certain ratio.
I want to use expression for this so that my body remains parametric after parametric.
can anyone help me with this.
Re: Scale imported stl file in NX
Menu -> edit -> transform, select STL body, choose "scale", specify a point to scale the body about, enter the desired scale factor, and in the final dialog, select "move" to transform the exisitng body or "copy" to create a new (scaled) body. Press "cancel" on the dialog to dismiss it after moving or copying the body.
Re: use of expression for scaling the model
Hi
With 'Scale Body' command, scale factor can be specified using expression. Did you try it?

The ability to break an assembly up into zones is already in NX. You can find a short description of it here:

Sorry, I'm still on NX 9 at the moment and my answer referenced functionality in that version. There were changes in either NX 10 or 11 that may make that particular part of my answer obsolete.
Direct the "Create Base View" command to select the UGPART autmatically insead of the UGMASTER
Hello,
When I create a new Drawing View with the "Create Base View" command, the UGMASTER is autmatically pre selected!
How can I configure the "Create Base View" command, to select the UGPART automatically instead of the UGMASTER?
Thanks,
Thomas
Re: Part Family Attributes in Assembly Instance
There is no guaranteed order to the attributes returned by the .GetUserAttributes method. Instead of using that, I'd suggest iterating through your attributeName list and checking for the component attribute; the order of your list will remain the same.
For each tempAtt as string in attributeName If mySelectedObject.HasUserAttribute(tempAtt, NXObject.AttributeType.Any, -1) Then 'get value 'do other work end if next

Assume you do not have the original construction lines.
If this is a regular fixed radius bend and circular profile then the surface should be a toroidal. Can use Object Information and select the face (not the body). This will give you the bend radius as major axis radius.

Here is a example

If freeform surface then a little more involved.
Create Isoparmetric Curves on the surface opposite eachother.
Create Rule Surface between these curves.
Enlarge the ruled surface making -50% smaller; or create 0.5 parameter curve on the surface.
Measure radius of curvature on this curve.

The hole command got a major overhaul around the NX 5 timeframe.

A similar question (tube length) was asked in this thread:

and it contains a few journals that help automate the process described by
Re: Deactivation of thread cut lines possible?
Hi all,
at first, let me thank you for all the information.
We also got the information from one of our customers, that the thread cut lines may be omitted. They need this in order to get a clearer representation of some of their drawings.
Looks like there really is no setting yet, so I think we will raise an ER for this.

For us, we are on NX 11, and if we decide to go to NX 12 in Nov., and then NX comes out in Jan (I would deem that "shortly after"), we will get pressure to update again to NX, as we have some outside influence on what we use.
Has the "teamcenter integrations availability matrix" list been updated for NX? I can't seem to locate it.
