    Teamcenter Integration for NX; "bundled" TC with Mach

    Majority of Teamcenter sites use Oracle. Every version of Teamcenter supports Oracle, except for Teamcenter Express, which is MSSQL only. Tc2007.1 and beyond uses UGSLMD 28000 port, which NX4? and Up uses. So Tc and NX are both on the same license server now. To support both *nix and Win...

    NX5 & TC: Datasets UGPart file use a UGMaster

    Look at your ugii_env.dat file in NX2 vs NX5, and look in the customer defaults in NX5 for drafting naming. Make sure they are correct to your company naming convention. -Dave Tolsma http://Tolsnet.com/jobs http://groups.google.com/group/NX_CAX/

    How to use macro or journal to import parasolid then save to .prt

    Try Journal first. Depending on what version of NX you are running, this functionality may be covered. -Dave Tolsma http://Tolsnet.com/jobs http://groups.google.com/group/NX_CAX/

    Making the Jump from AutoCAD to UG/NX

    I had to use AutoCAD back in '93 time frame, while learning NX or UG at the time. Once I was almost complete with the UG training, I was running away from AutoCAD. Add View, is the AutoCAD killing operation :-). -Dave Tolsma http://Tolsnet.com/jobs http://groups.google.com/group/NX_CAX/

    NX6 64Bit

    You need the 64bit version of NX installed in order to fully utilize all the RAM and other performance gains you may get. Since it is installed in the x86 directory path you are running with the limitation of a 32bit program. -Dave Tolsma http://Tolsnet.com/jobs...

    Catia Model Import

    What file did you import this into (metric or inch)? Try with the other type file you have. -Dave Tolsma http://Tolsnet.com/jobs http://groups.google.com/group/NX_CAX/

    Templates/Standards

    Drafting defaults are in the customer defaults. File -> Utilities -> Customer defaults. Custom format blocks settings, you can find in customer defaults as well. At least the location it looks for the files. I'm not sure any NX training goes over the customer defaults in this type of detail...

    Run a macro from a .men file

    I have never been able to get a macro to run from a menu. Only Toolbars have been able to run macros. I think it is even stated in the documents somewhere. A way to accomplish this is by converting the .men to a .journal format. Journals can run from a menu and toolbar. -Dave Tolsma...

    NX3 help with Firefox 3

    The default for menu entry for help can be hacked, by creating a custom menu entry and hiding the original and creating your own menu entry. The Menu entry system command will be to call IExplorer with the path to the help location. -Dave Tolsma http://Tolsnet.com/jobs...

    NX 3.0: GM DCS File Log Macro for Batch Execution

    The DCS file log information is stored as part attributes. You can extract the part attributes relatively easy. The New DCS is based on Knowledge Fusion, so that will be a little different extracting the information. -Dave Tolsma http://Tolsnet.com/jobs http://groups.google.com/group/NX_CAX/...

    imported step files from Pro-E: cylindrical faces divided into 2 faces

    Instead of using STEP, try opening the file directly in NX. I think there is a license requirement for this, but could give it a shot. -Dave Tolsma http://Tolsnet.com/jobs http://groups.google.com/group/NX_CAX/ http://groups.google.com/group/plm-exchange/
