All, While researching thread engagement I ran across this old thread: http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=254805 Mr. Fox eludes to an error in Machinery's handbook. I have been searching the past threads to see if I could find where he spoke more about it in a previous thread, but so...

All, I have been searching the net for information on Yamaguchi vertical machining centers. So far, I have found almost nothing except a few for sale listings. What happened to the company, were they bought by someone or did they just fold altogether? Where can I find technical specs for the...

All, About a month ago I needed a 3D model of an AT10 45 tooth pulley for 50mm wide belt. 45 tooth is not standard for most vendors. I managed to locate a vendor/website that had a lot more tooth options than most vendors and downloaded the 45 tooth pulley model. Today, I need a 42 tooth...

All, I have seen (and used) metric dowel pins that are black. These pins have had much smaller corner breaks and lead in chamfers than the average dowel. If you've ever seen the ones I am talking about you'll know because they stand out as being quite different than most pins. They're almost...

All, I have been using Motion to simulate the mechanical functions of my design. With some trial and error I have got it working pretty decent. Now I want to create an assembly sequence using my animation results from my Motion study. When I try to export the sequence I get the following...

All, I want to simulate part of a machine I am developing. The basis of it is a bearing block that is mounted to a track that has a series of straight and curved sections that form a closed loop. Can someone recommend the proper joints, constraints, and driver(s) necessary to demonstrate a...

All, I have a design I am working on where a moving object is going to come close to a fixed object. At this point in the design I can control how close the two objects can get. I need to get them as close as I can but avoid a pinch hazard as well. Unfortunately, the issue cannot be designed...

All, I have to make a sheet metal skin for a machine. Where two panels meet I would like to use some sort of flexible pvc or urethane edging (preferably colored). Specifically, when two panels meet at a corner (90 degrees) I would like to have a piece of edging connect the two. Likewise, when...

All, Some time ago I ran across a company that makes all kinds of mounting brackets for proxes, photoeyes and the like. I know that the major sensor makers offer them, but this place had a large selection. Seems like I saw them in IEN magazine (or something similar)... It was several years ago...

All, I used to be able to expand a view on a drafting sheet and extract the endges/curves. I cannot seem to find the extract edges ability in NX6. I've read the help and it only seems to talk about how to set associative preferences for extracted edges. Has this ability been removed? I use...

All, I am fairly certain reference sets isn't going to do exactly what I want it to, but I'm hoping that someone here will have some ideas. I have a part that is used in multiple places and it is slightly different in each location. In Solidworks you can have configurations that adjust feature...

All, I don't have any sort of specific application, more just a curiosity. I have seen aluminum extruded profiles that have either a series of small radius grooves or radius ribs. Often they are symmetrical, but I have seen cases where they appear somewhat random in the design. Anyone that...

All, When I insert a library part (let's say a fastener) it gives me a list of predefined mates to choose from for orienting the part. I want to include this functionality with library parts that I model. However, I can't seem to figure out what it's called in NX. Solidworks calls it "Mate...

All, I am working on a project to roughly estimate the tonnage developed in a press that uses a flywheel and screw. The flywheel is attached to a fast lead screw which then drives the ram down. Given enough information I thought this would be a straight forward calc, but for some reason I...

Hi all, It's been a while since Thermodynamics so my memory is a bit faded. I've got Mark's Hanbook cracked, I'm sure all of the info is in there, but I'm a bit slow in getting started. I'm hoping someone can give me a gentle shove in the right direction. I have a titanium shaft partially...

All, I'm self teaching WF3 and have run into a snag. I have a template (has a .frm extension) for my drawing sheets that has a titleblock with attributes. Someone else with much more Pro E knowledge than I have setup the template file. When I create a drawing using that template everything...

Hi all, Anyone have any experience with the GM toolkit? I would like to add attribute columns to the Assembly Navigator but I don't have a list of the attributes that are available. Specifically, I would like to have the following columns in the assembly navigator: material (HRS, 8620, UHMW...

Hi all, I need to design a sprocket to meet DIN 8180 spec. Anyone know where I might find design information for the tooth profile? It's a one-time only (hopefully) experiment for a project in the garage at home. Thanks in advance, Aaron

Hi all, I have a hose off an air compressor that has come into my possesion. The compressor was free and now I know why. It's one of those wheel around portable units, but a bit heavier duty that the ones you find today. It's missing some pieces and to date I haven't found a manufacturer name...

As if this hasn't been hashed enough... I have a 3D plant layout for one of "the big three". It shows columns and machines and such in 3D utilizing Factory Cad, Arch Desktop and who knows what other evil things. What I would like to do is get simple 2D drawings (Front, Top and Right side views...
