    Renumber "P" expressions in NX10

    I have found a few other discussion threads that are similar, but not exactly what I am looking for. One of our users is looking for a method (grip, journal, other) to 'renumber' all "p" expressions in a NX part file to remove gaps in numbering. Is this possible / practical? Existing: p0 p1 p2...

    Retain NX Material Library characteristics in STEP export?

    Using NX 8.5.3 native. Is there a current or planned method for NX to retain the solid body assigned Material in an exported STEP 203/214/other? Of most interest is the mass or weight being translated to STEP. It appears that this is not currently possible? Also, noticed that the density of...

    Drawing to .dxf from NX Journaling site... not working in NX8.5 native

    We have been using the Drawing to .dxf code from “NX Journaling” in NX7.5 and it has been a real time saver. Configuring NX8.5 native and the existing code failed. Found updated code from NX Journaling site here: http://www.nxjournaling.com/?q=content/export-drawing-dxf-file-using-nx-journal...

    Half Etch in NX Sheet Metal

    Looking for suggestions in creating 'half etch' features using NX Sheet Metal (NX6.0.2.8). If not familiar, the requirement is for the flange feature to be half of the sheet metal thickness from tangent line to tangent line. Tried to use Extrude, however will then not allow unbend or flat solid...

    Create Reference Set CSYS option from NX4 not in NX6

    We are in the process of upgrading from NX4 to NX6. There is different behavior in NX6 for creating a Reference Set. The option to "Create Reference Set CSYS" appears to not be an option. The Ref Set origin is set to the Absolute CSYS. Am I missing anything? What was the reasoning for removing...

    Prime or apostrophy added to expression in NX4

    In NX4, have you seen the situation where expressions automatically get created with an apostrophe and non descript number added? Example.. the file contains normal expressions p0 to p500. At some point, named expressions show up as p0'40, p1'40, p2'40, etc. up to p84'40. The ' expressions...

    NX4 hidden lines for overlapping drafting views

    In NX4, if you have two drafting views (containing solid geometry), and one is partially 'overlapping' the other, is there an 'automatic' method to declare which view is on top and the other view would show hidden for the overlapping portion? Without performing an unassociative view dependent...

    Any suggestions on how to determine the volume of a component assembly? We produce avionics navigation equipment (black box). The user requirement is to determine the volume, as if the sealed box was placed in a bucket of water..... We are currently using NX2. I have thought about extracting the...
