    Reuse assemblies in the Reuse Library

    Has anyone found an efficient/correct way to use reuse parts in other reuse parts to create reuse assemblies? Some of the reuse parts are simple assemblies themselves. I have found that for the Part Name Management dialog/settings to work all the reuse parts that are included in the assembly...

    Help with expression formulas

    I got it to work, but I had to break all the variables down to separate expressions. It would be easier if I can create one formula expression for the "height needed" Thanks, Fred

    Good Morning John, thanks for the reply. I will move forward and install NX8.5 on the laptop. After I posted this I dug thru some old emails...and I was told a while ago you need 64bit office/excel when installing on a 64 bit NX install IF you plan on using the prog die wizard (PDW)....If...
