Does anyone know of a standard that indicates how to identify surfaces for finish, texture, paint, or imperfections? When possible, shaded views (seldom) or hatching is used with enough views to show the areas. Other times, simple parts, we may just note one side of the part finish and the...
Thanks for the links. I recently saw ITI at a seminar. We're still debating all this. Our trouble with 'one CAD System' is we have a lot of Legacy Files on the Unigraphics side - like 80s and 90s Legacy and some are still released. Those won't do anything useful in SolidWorks. Total file types...
What are other light weight PDMs work well with NX? We have two distinct product lines here remaining in two different PDMs and two different CAD Packages. Both are in need of upgrading, so I'm looking around to see what's new. I know we will at least be going to SW PDM for the SW stuff, but I'm...
Do you know if SW PDM will talk well with NX? We have two distinct product lines here remaining in two different PDMs and two different CAD Packages. Both are in need of upgrading, so I'm looking around to see what's new. I know we will at least be going to SW PDM, but I'm unsure what will...
I like bringing that up too: So, what are we arguing the drawing for right now? to help fabrication? to help inspection? to help procurement?....or all of these things which is the actual part definition. It can be difficult to bring the groups together, and often the change is written due to...
This is indeed internal stuff, and that is part of the problem. Qualified tools to inspect certain things. I'm not an expert, but essentially we have a lot of tools that can measure everything we need, but getting the tools to a qualified state actually is limiting what we can currently measure...
I agree. I want the tolerances specified we want the part to perform within.
But, at the same time, is there a way we can correlate all the non-important dimensions programmed to drawing values, models, or 2D .dxfs will run within a general tolerance based off machine capability. Each time I...
I'd like to start with the disclaimer that I really just prefer the dimensions and tolerances (be it GD&T or rectangular or a combination) to just describe what we need the part to be (meet the requirements essentially). Now the issue:
We keep getting into GD&T pissing matches here. The last...
I just happened to Notice that SW2016 has a "Thread" feature now that picks up an edge and then models actual threads. It's lateness to the party made me wonder: How long has UG/NX had the detailed "Thread"? I recall it being there for sure in NX2, and I seem to recall it as far back as UG15...
Hello, we are currently without an admin for Teamcenter Express, and hopefully we'll be updating to something else soon, but I need some help. We have several Items (not IRs) that were accidentally released. I have infodba access in the interim, but I need a quick workflow setup explanation to...
We have an older Bundle here that we likely are going to try to change soon. We don't really need any of the machining stuff, and I'm not sure I'm getting all the content from the free form stuff and smart models that is listed. Also, I want to be able to export .stl files directly from NX -...
Thanks for the replies. It appears as if my Ticket is going down to the graphics certfications folks. I do have the latest certified drivers. I did just try switching my settings to capture the desktop, and indeed it did work. This is of course not the preferred option, so my problem still...
I have a GTAC in for this, but I thought I'd try ENG-TIPS while I'm waiting to try other things (So far I uninstalled my Space Navigator and brought my graphics drivers up to the latest.). When saving videos (still NX 7.5) I only get the mouse movements, popup boxes, and the "Earth Background"...
