Hi    Thank you for the awesome trick and the clear comparison image!

 

Months ago, you taught me curvature comb along WCS axis. Now, months later, you teach me again the dynamic curvature comb along View. I'm really a lousy student!

Ben --

If you want that CG point to be associative, just save the CG measurement expression, too. There's no loss of functionality here at all... That first "save" button in the scene dialog is analogous to the "associative" checkbox in the old dialog (though at a slightly finer level of granularity.)

Does that make sense?

Re: create intersection points between two curves in Nx 8.5

Hi

One way is to do a distance check of each point to each curve. Each point has to be close(within some threshold) to two curves. If its only close to 1 curve then delete it.

Need to make sure that the expressions are linked to each other and that you set the 'Immediate Update' option in the PTS UI to 'NX Update'

I hope I didn't miss something in between all the postings, but did you try the Point set command?

The "offset region" works fine with text for me but not with another sketch which is wrapped around the cylinder.

Is there any way to make this work well also?

 

See attached video.

, thanks.

I tried with Point set. if the line is straight that is easy. but the gird is included: spine line, arc,...that is difficult.

I figured it out myselfSmiley Happy. The offset Region setting should be on "Extend Cap Face".

Hi,

and how to the measured body for assembly?

The selection box on NX12 respect to NX11 is slower.

Re: NX 12 MCD can't get OPC server

I did choose in the External Signal Configuration: Kepware.KepserverEX.V6

I selected under in this window all the I/O

 

I have succesfully connected the I/O  in the signal mapping window

 

In the sequence editor i have connected this symbolic to the operations

 

so far so good.

 

But when i push the play button i get a Runtime Error window.

 

Object           Severity     Display Part                     Description

Unknown      Error          Strap_storage2_stp         Cannot connect to this OPC Server

 

Why ?

 

The External Signal Configuration:  No error with the OPC server

Signal Mapping : No error with the OPC server

So, NX11 is still has this auto zoom/pan feature...
Is it fixed in NX12?
Me and my coworkers are fully capable to zoom and pan without this broken assitance.

and others,

 

This is our ER 8251755:

"Automatic zooming to last placed dimension after closing dimension dialogue"

 

IMHO it was, and still is, the most annoying "enhancement" in years.

I hope somebody in charge reads this thread and finally pulls the trigger to either make it a customer defaults setting or just get rid of it in total. It's a daily little less joy to use dimensioning. And it still is after a few years since its implementation.

FYI: I just looked; I filed this IR/ER 23'rd dec 2014... and its status is "in review" Let's be hopeful Smiley Indifferent

Re: Shortcut to reset dialog box?

Thanks for all the replies.  Most of the suggestions I was already aware of (however, I didn't know I could click on a selected end point to change  to another; that's nice!).  But what I was hoping for was a little quicker way to reset the dimensioning tool, other than in the dialog box.  Where this is helpful is, say, your using the Rapid Dimension tool to dimension some lines and you accidently click on one you didn't want dimensioned.  The only way I know of to un-select it, without closing the dialog box, is the reset button on the dialog box.  A shift-click on the selected entity doesn't work. Hitting Esc unselects it but also closes the dialog box. 

 

A shift-click is really the logical way to do this (since that's what's used to unselect entities in general), and I imagine there's an ER floating around for it. If anyone know's what it is, I'll add my vote!  Thanks again. 

continuous auto dimensioning bug?

If you have continuous auto dimensioning on, and you convert a dimension to reference, you get two reference dimensions (the one you converted and one created by cont. auto dim.).  Ok, maybe it's not bug, but definitely not desired behavior.  Regardless of whether the dimension is active or reference, auto dim should not add one if one is already there.
