    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.

    Teamcenter/NX through VDI

    Is anyone running Teamcenter NX through VDI server. We are trying this and sometimes it seems fine others it is super laggy. Large assemblies give it grief. I'm not sure the RAM is real quantiy what we are assigned or if it is a shared RAM. Models freeze and monitoring it is not using half of...

    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...

    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.

    hardware reattachment

    Curious if anyone has had this issue. Sometimes we share jobs with other divisions and we are running native NX. The hardware between the two locations is in a different network location.

    remote reuse library speed

    Hi with all the closures around the world we have moved our offices to home base and working remotely. All seems to work fine. The major exception is the reuse library of hardware. This takes a long time to load and slows the computer once I access it. Is there any tips or tutorials to ensure we...

    Upgrading NX 10 to 12-Refile?

    Hi, We are looking at upgrading NX 10 to NX 12. The last time we bump from NX 8 to 10 we ran refile on the reuse library. The library parts upgraded as we opened them but I do remember the reuse library is write protected. Is this still the process to use? Any other tips on the upgrade? We will...

    Two versions teamcenter

    Is it possible to have two installs of teamcenter running. I know you can have different versions of NX running on the same PC. Is this this possible with Teamcenter and does the license work for both or would you need license for each version. The situation we have is only certain divisions has...

    Deleting Projects or library item

    Is there a way with admin rights to clean up library items in the TDM? We had a few items created with improper project numbers and have moved data to the proper library and would like to delete these empty libraries but don't seem to have the option to do this once it is created.

    Cheating section views.

    Hello, I'm wondering if there is a method to take multiple sections views and stack them on top of one another? Also can they be constraint to one another. In the past the drawings were done in 2D SDRC I-deas drawings. In I-deas it is easy to cheat a view and over lay several sections of the a...

I'm trying to use the synchronous move line command. I can't select any of the lines. I checked and it isn't a layer thing. No...

    I've had a request for updating an existing model and assembly of a part that was designed in inches and we are now building in Metric.
