    Trigger Journal outside NX

    I'm trying to make an external database of TC numbers trigger a journal to allow a "hyperlink" feature to the models. Is there any Nxopen or vba trick to allow this? We have an external database that drive purchasing and it is being fed by Team Center. Trying to complete the loop and allow...

    refile reuse library for 2306?

    We have native NX for past jobs and now moved into Teamcetner also. Teamcenter option is fine. The native version got really slow suddenly. Over Covid we tried to speed this up by making copy of reuse on the local C:\reuse folder of each user. But this had its own problems where items would not...

    refile reuse library for 2306?

    The last couple years the reuse library seems very slow. We did a refile on the bump to NX 10 wondeirng if the refile is required as we are now in 2306? Using from home via vpn is auwful slow more than hour to cache the initial load. In the past maybe 5-10 minutes.

    Licensing tool-no license to select

    Licensing tool-no license to select

    Licensing tool-no license to select

    Hi we tried to upgrade my pc to ideas 6.7 to get NX connection to the TDI library. No luck on this so rather than upgrade the whole team rolled my pc back to Ideas 6.3. (we had a clone of the TDI for testing) Uninstalled ideas and Orbix. Installed the old orbix and ideas 6.3 and now I do not...

    Single sided cylinderical dimensions falling off

    Hi we keep having issues with single sided diameters on our drawings disappearing/deleted when we open next time and make change to print. Is there a best practice on this? Possibly turn this into a no updated dimension similar to a note? Getting frustrated as this happens quite often. Currently...

    Open Ideas...

    We were able to upgrade to 6.8 and upgraded the orbix server (iona680) but still having errors getting NX to connect to the ideas TDM. The trouble we had in the past was the orbix server was older version and you need manually uninstall to get the new one to install. But still having issues...

    Open native ideas files in NX

    Hi is there a license or tool to import native ideas files into the latest NX? Our company has many loose/native (TDM was not used) files with extension names from .a50, m21, m72, m11, m12 and .mx6 Is there a tool similar to the ideas asc tool to open these? All are 2d drawings. Thanks in advance.
