By default it is possible to show the mass property directly in Assembly Navigator window. Of course, you have to pick the related Save option beforehand. The Generate Weight Data option (if turned on) forces NX save the weight data along with other information. Calculated mass saves in the NX parameter (usually MassPropMass or something).… Read More »
Hi there! Few weeks before Christmas our workmate made a suggestion – what if we create a simple New Year souvenir? We’re equipped with a reliable 3 axis vertical milling machine, therefore the souvenir needed to had a simple geometry, be quick to manufacture and cheap. The answer was found by itself – we decided… Read More »
This article is concerned with a manner of creating so-called “fake” dimensions in NX drafting. Sometimes it’s needed to manually override a dimension value to make it easier for manufacturing. Following this manner you can create the dimension based on a part geometry, but then override it accordingly to manufacturing needs. The main… Read More »
In NX drafting it’s possible to use a baseline as an object to define cylindrical or half-cylindrical dimensions. It’s important to select the input objects in the right order. If a baseline is selected as the first object, NX calculates the dimension as a distance between the baseline and point, multiplied… Read More »
By default NX would display a view border for each view on a current sheet. This behaviour could be changed by editing NX drafting settings. Go to Menu —> Preferences —> Drafting (see the picture): Under the View group select Workflow and tick the Display checkbox: Click Apply… Read More »
Our today tutorial will be dedicated to the quite handy WAVE-linker option which is called Fix at Current Timestamp. To make this tutorial more clear and simple to understand it will be illustrated from the application end – we will create a blank geometry from the solid part for NX CAM project. … Read More »
How to create a contact point between Datum Plane and a Sphere? Intersection point feature in Siemens NX doesn’t provide such functionality. So what will be a solution? The answer is obvious – a center of a sphere, projected onto a plane along it normal vector, will be a contact point… Read More »
