I've been pulling what little hair I have left out trying to make an NX Journal to read a CSV file of Pt1X, Pt1Y, Pt1Z, Pt2X, Pt2Y, Pt2Z, Dia and generate a bunch of cylinders to create a trusswork. I've gotten bits and pieces to work (start point, length, diameter), but I can't figure out how...
I am working on a script to automate the clean-up of large STEP imports into NX11. One thing I would like to clean up is a principle axis that is added to every part (not a datum CSYS which I want to keep). I would like to rid my imported model of these. There may be a way to turn it off...
It could be that I simply don't understand how to use the new NX10 interpart expressions since I just started using NX10, but from the cheap seats it appears that they taken away some extremely useful functionality. GTAC indicated that they are in the process of improving it but it isn't done...
I have kludged together a Journal from various sources to assign a mass to a body by calculating the density from the volume. It is pretty clunky, but does what I need. The only hitch is I can't figure out a simple way to execute the "Update Weight Data Now" command. When I record it I get...
I need to be able to create a bunch of empty dummy parts from a spreadsheet and assert a mass. I adapted a simple journal that creates new parts from a text file list but when I tried to record the "Assert Mass" command, it is not supported by the Journal recorder. I looked at creating a tiny...
I have been trying to sort out the image rendering options in NX. There are a number of parallel routes to create a high quality image and each seems to almost get me where I want (albeit in a very convoluted way). There is Visualization, Visualize Shape, and True Shading. I thought there was...
I'm trying to find a quick and dirty method to go from a general solid with planar sides to a frame. I have a large number of solids and would like to create frames for each quickly (this is just for a conceptual design, so I don't need a lot of exactness). I remember doing some tricks with...
Greetings,
I'm working on a Journal file (haven't done much of this before) where I do the following:
1) Select a bunch of lines
2) Select a bunch of faces
3) Pick an origin point (or simply use the WCS location or the start point of one of the lines)
4) Dump out a file (preferably a comma...
We are at NX 8.0.2. I would like to deploy a custom toolbar to the users, but I don't want to do it using a Role since that will reconfigure all the custom layouts the users have set up. Searching around I haven't seen a way to do that. Anyone know of a method?
Thanks,
Drew
I am involved in developing a standard to simplify (hopefully) exchanging NX models with those outside our organization. The goal is to reduce confusion and rework by requiring our users and our contractors to follow a (small) set of best practices that address interoperability problems. An...
