Is there a way to have the "Component Name" read and update to a part attribute?
So, component properties - General tab - Name - Read a part attribute in that part.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Duane

Re: Measure Distance 'show dimension"
HI,
How do I get the option to display the information window in my Measure Distance.

Re: Measure Distance 'show dimension"
It sounds like your dialog has been set to something other than "Measure Distance (more)". Select the gear icon on the top left of the dialog and choose "Measure Distance (more)" from the available options. You'll find "Show Information Window" within the Results Display block of the dialog - it might be collapsed.

Can't copy+paste Tabular note(=Revision change table) to new drawing ?
Hello
What might be the cause ?:
In drawing I can't copy+paste Tabular note(=Revision change table) to a new drawing ?
- The drawing is inside a model (no separate drawing file).
- When pasteing nothing comes up...
- I can copy+paste on my own assemblies succesfully but not inside this someone else's made file assembly and parts.
AND
- How to make a stretched boundary box small again ? (Stretched due to/because of updating the model. I tried but "Anchor Point" tab is now always visible... How to remove it ?)

Re: NX wall thickness check
Hi,
Could you please guide me to find the option called "Thickness Check" in Checkmate. I have attached a file , you can find the options which are availble with me. Please go through it and do the needful.
Thanks In Advance,
Regards,

Re: NX wall thickness check
Dear Sreeram,
you would need DFMPRO to get these checks.
I cannot show you where they are or how they work since we did not acquire the DFMPRO license.
I would recommend to contact DFMPRO to get a test license/price.
Best regards

Retain Colour of Components in Assembly
Hello everyone
NX seems to have a wierd problem of not storing the color applied to parts ..say in a big assembly
We have a colour code for each part in the assembly from Catia V5 , so we want to retain in NX
Steps Followed :
option 1) Inside the Assembly
Select the individual part in Assmebly > Ctrl+J > Select color > then Apply : Colour does not gets saved in Teamcenter
next time if the part is read from Teamcenter .. its shows the default GREY colour
option 2) Open the individual files in seperate window >Ctrl +J > Select colour > then Apply : Colour gets retained but if you open this same assembly again from Team center colour for some components are back to GREY
Worst Case ; using either of these options , if i modify any one of the part is modified like Geometry changes , the colour switches back
Color management isnt NX gameball , overall very inconsistency - for such a simple option
Wondering why just to colour parts and retaining the parts colour should be such a big excercise in NX while so easy in Catia V5 or to say any CAD software
Additional option request for NX
Default Colour ; Catia v5 has a option to switch back to DEFAULT color can we have samething in NX

Re: Retain Colour of Components in Assembly
Mohan, I can address what is going on in NX.
If you color of bodies in the context of the assembly that color is saved with the assembly, not the component and will keep overriding the original color in THAT assembly. It can be reset to get back to the component colors for the bodies.
If I have not changed it in the context of an assembly then when I update a component it will have the new color everywhere it is used.
I am not sure what to say about the Teamcenter colors at this point but wanted to give you and idea of what is going on in NX.

Re: Retain Colour of Components in Assembly
Scott , Thanks for the reply
Yes i understand whats going on in NX , but ist very inconsistent when coupled with Teamcenter in our case - in Terms of retaining Colour
I read the Assembly - first time from Teamcenter the colours are OK - retained , but next time is doesnt take either the Assembly Context Color nor the individual part colour - it Shows the Default Grey colour
And Im Aware of the reset Color Option in Assembly > Right-Click on the component>Properties>Select ''SPECIFIC COMPONENT COLOUR'' under ASSEMBLY tab ( 1st tab)
Is there a seperate Forum for Teamcenter & NX Interface or this is the one?

Re: Retain Colour of Components in Assembly
If the parts have a release status in TC, you will not be able to save a change, even a simple color change.
If multiple revisions of the part exist, the load options may not be loading in the same part that you changed the color of.
If you are talking about the color of parts that you see in shaded drafting views, those colors can be controlled separately from what you see in the model view.
A component can have a separate color applied than the parent body. When changing the color of components, you can apply it to the component or drive it back to the prototype body.
The body can have a different color than the faces.
The "random color" option overrides any assigned colors.
In short, NX has too many choices when assigning colors.

Part list in drafting doesn't work (NX10)
When I try to create part list in drafting no all parts appears in table.
There should be over 80 parts but in part list (red boundry) appears only 4. Pls check the attachment.
↧
Re: Part list in drafting doesn't work (NX10)
The parts list is generated from the components in the assembly. Take the same screenshot, but with the assembly navigator open.
Also, check the "assembly levels" of the parts list. This option can be changed to show different levels of the assembly. If the 4 items that show up in the list are themselves sub-assemblies, then the "assembly levels" option is probably not set to what you want.
Another thing to look out for is "drafting components"; these are views added from other part files. They add a special icon to the assembly navigator, but they do not appear in the parts list.

Re: Part list in drafting doesn't work (NX10)
thanks a lot for respond. Here you have the screenshot with assmembly navigator open

Re: Part list in drafting doesn't work (NX10)
and are you able to explain me how to set the assembly levels in correct way? Because you are right, now in part list the subassemblies only appears that why there is only 4 position in the table. Thanks a lot!

Re: Can't copy+paste Tabular note(=Revision change table) to new drawing ?
When you paste the tabular note does your work layer count increase (meaning that something pasted but you can't see it). If it does increase, check to see if your current work layer is invisible on the drawing sheet using "Layer Visible in View".
Regarding the view boundary - right click on the boundary and see if it is set to Manual Boundary. If it is, change it to Automatic and see if that cleans things up. I'm not sure why you're seeing anchor point if you have the dialog closed. Perhaps try a view refresh (F5) or View Regenerate?

Re: Part list in drafting doesn't work (NX10)
Right click on the parts list and choose "edit levels"; a dialog will open with a few toggle options. Have a look at the help file for what each one does:
