Hello,
The situation is this: I have an imported mesh-like human body upon which I create a wearable product. To clearly see the product, I choose the "Shaded with Edges" rendering style. The problem is, the human appears too complex with all the mesh lines (smooth edges). What I need is the...
Hello,
I was attempting to rename a part (partB) to a name (partA) that was occupied by another part. So I removed the other part (partA) from the assembly and deleted it in file explorer. Now, when I attempt SaveAs on the part I want to rename, it shows the error:
The following objects failed...
Hello,
Someone sends me a STEP assembly which I add to my main assembly. I proceed to modify some of the parts in this assembly. Later, I receive another STEP assembly which I add to my main assembly next to the old assembly. To my shock and horror, some parts in the new assembly are...
In the Part Navigator, by turning off the timestamp mode you get a list of all reference sets under the node "Reference Sets". All, except the Entire Part reference set. This is very unfortunate, because since I have only solid bodies on the Model reference set, I can't see any of the surface...
I have a 'source' part which contains a rectangle shaped Offset Curve feature. I have another 'target' part with a WAVE link to this curve feature (associative, not position independent). I use this WAVE link to create a rectangular cut extrude feature. Now, if I rotate the source part, the...
I want to create an Extrude feature using curves from multiple sketches that form the boundary I want to use for the extrude. It seems this is not possible, I can only select regions from curves from the same sketch.
In the attached image I want to select the innermost triangle boundary (the...
Suppose you have created 10 Thicken features (this is a logo where each letter is a thicken feature...because you cannot thicken multiple disjoint faces). Afterwards, you want to change all of their Offset 1 values.
Can this be done in one step instead of editing each Thicken feature...
There are two major issues that I often encounter:
1. Whenever a part is saved, the undo history gets lost. Is this correct?
2. Whenever the displayed part changes, the undo history gets lost. Is this correct?
Is there a setting to change this behavior?

I saw in the news a few weeks ago that Siemens PLM had opened a massive 1500 employee R&D center in Pune, India. Does this mean that the development of NX is going to accelerate in the near future?

Hi,
I have a solid shape that I want to bend slightly (for purpose of checking the bent state) and I've found that Global Shaping By Curve works very well. However, one problem is that the Control Curve (the curve that defines the final shape) is very hard to draw accurately. What I want to do...
Hi,
I'm in a situation where I need to convert a spline into a series of arcs (due to an inexplicable factory request). The arcs need to match as close as possible to the original spline and they must be tangent to each other to preserve some smoothness. The spline is flush against a plane...
Hi,
The situation is this (and happens often). I'm using Make Current Feature to edit a feature deep in the Part Navigator. After finishing the editing, I make the last feature (the one that resides at the bottom of the part navigator) current to see what effect the change has on the entire...
Hi,
I have
partFeatures = aPart.Features.GetFeatures
to get an array of the features in the part. The problem is, some of the features in partFeatures are product interface features, and there is no way to tell if they are standard features, like sketches and extrudes, or product interface...
Hello,
In a sketch I have an intersection point attached to a wave linked curve. The wave link of this curve gets broken, so the sketch fails with a red cross with the message "Missing section string". I edit the sketch to solve the problem. However, the sketch gives no hint about what the...
Hello,
How does one set the selection filter of a BlockStyler.SelectObject to default ("No Selection Filter") so that you can select any object?
This is what I have so far:
Dim selectionfilter(0) As MaskTriple
selectionfilter(0).Type = -1
selectionfilter(0).Subtype = -1...
Hi,
I'm writing a program to allow the user to select a new source assembly which will automatically re-link all wave links in a part to the new source assembly. That way the user doesn't have to manually re-link every wave link feature when parts/assemblies are copied, renamed etc.
To get the...
Hi,
This is a problem I've had the last few releases of NX: roles fail to properly save or load. I'm assuming this is a bug, but would like other users to confirm if they have the same issue since I couldn't find any posts about this particular problem.
Here is the procedure to reproduce the...
Hi,
In NX, bookmarks will save the component status in the context of an assembly, but is there a bookmarks feature to save the visibility (blank status) of geometric objects on the part level?
The reason is, sometimes I'm working on a complex part with lots of objects. In this part, perhaps 50...
Hi,
I'm using this to select only solid bodies:
Dim selectionfilter(0) As MaskTriple
selectionfilter(0).Type = NXOpen.UF.UFConstants.UF_solid_type
selectionfilter(0).SolidBodySubtype = NXOpen.UF.UFConstants.UF_UI_SEL_FEATURE_SOLID_BODY
but how should I select only sheet bodies?

Hi,
In Autodesk Alias there is a surface creation tool called "Square" which is similar to the Through Curve Mesh or the Studio Surface tool in NX. A Square surface is made by selecting four curves that act as a boundary for the surface. The user can define each of the 4 surfaces edges to have...
