    Grip programs that are still useful

    Still running NX6 where I currently contract at. NX6.0.5.3 mp07, Windows XP 64-bit,Team Center 8.3 Running cad straight out of the box is OK but, a system tuned with application software is the best way to increase productivity.

    NX Color Definition Files

    Some time ago I was working on a program to convert any version of UG/NX part file to the current NX version and update the CDF file in a part. John Baker had zipped up what he could get and also had a Grip program to convert some very early UG version file to NX4. Looking to get back to it...

    Grip programs that are still useful

    You may be referring to the grip library programs which are not very useful with current functionality of nx. I have written 100's of grip programs but are looking to see what others have created and get ideas for new helpful solutions. Currently working on a program to handel expressions...

    Grip programs that are still useful

    Cowski, I have written a lot of routines to simplify and maintain company cad standards and many specialize engineering applications. My background is not in the cam area but with design although I have helped support personnel in that field to understand nx and its use. NX6.0.5.3 mp07, Windows...

    Grip programs that are still useful

    John, I still currently use nx for work and prefer to write code with grip. Also have developed a tool kit of subroutines which I use to speed up the development of other programs. I would appreciate to see what someone else has done using the language. Sometimes the hardest thing is to come...

    Grip programs that are still useful

    I have searched in the past but was looking for code that has not been posted and a way to collect all that have been posted in a single location. John, you must have quite a bit of code due to your professional history that would be of interest to others. NX6.0.5.3 mp07, Windows XP 64-bit,Team...

    NX8 SNAP vs GRIP

    I see in the “What's New” NX8 document that a language similar to GRIP call SNAP is available. Is there goring to be a translator available to go from GRIP to SNAP? What are the licensing requirements? NX6.0.5.3 mp07, Windows XP 64-bit,Team Center 8.1 Running cad straight out of the box is OK...

    Stadard english/metric tolerence fits in NX

    I remember coming across a text file in one of the sub-directories of NX that related to tolerance fits but can't seem to find it again. I think that is may have been a third party extension. NX6.0.5.3 mp07, Windows XP 64-bit,Team Center 8.1 Running cad straight out of the box is OK but, a...

    Making Working with Someone else's NX Models Easier (maybe)

    Modeling and cad standards are good for consistency and helpful when changes are made by various personnel and not the individual which originally created the part over it life cycle. The pain is in enforcing these procedures. It helps a lot to write application software to help maintain and...

    What version of VB.NET is compatiable with NX6?

    Thanks for the reply sumBuddy. I thought the Visual Studio 2010 user Framework 4.0. Do you know if there is any problems with that version?
