conversion from inches to millimeters of a part family

[checco03]

I would like to know if someone found themselves having to convert 3d bookcases made in inches to millimeters and in particular as they did to convert the formulas present in expressions and the excel table with values inside part family.

you need to search in the installation of nx the ug_convert_part file and from dos use the ug_convert_part command (first put after the command?) so you learn the options.

 

[checco03]

Thanks, the command I knew, however, does not convert the expressions because they have the unit of measurement in in inches. This is a software limit.

There is all a technical explanation about why you can't... long a km...
In the end, I just "absorbed" it can't be.
certain that in the third millennium be still forced to live and handle the different units of measure "sound ridiculousus" to say it to the American. . .
But if I think that there are nations that still drive to the left, then I will rest.

there are still some nations that drive to dx you want to say....:smile:
think about what costs more to car manufacturers "this habit" of Anglo-Saxons.

Sorry. You're right. :finger:
I mean, cars have the right guide.

If matrix doesn't make me banish, I could say that with nx8 you can handle this situation as you will have the opportunity to change the measuring unit.
I read something about it.
nx8 should be ready for everyone in July.

I have not read of this possibility in what's news... but since nx is a "strange" version, at least from my personal point of view (you don't understand bad... is a "strange" that makes me happy) everything is possible.
nx8 : 6 September 2011.
just for when I get back from the summer holidays.

strange because they have implemented the table so much?:smile:
What goes against the real needs of implementation of a cad?:smile:

apart from the jokes, you threw the stone...now justifies your phrase 'strange'.

after years when they have always bounced all about certain types of er, suddenly:
- they have put a standard application for creating and managing paperwork
- they made the mirror body wear behind the threads
- they have implemented a patter that makes screaming from wonder
- have implemented 2d symbols in a perfect way, assonant to pf 3d
- they put broken views that finally work like other views
- they set up a smart mechanism to connect attributes and expressions
- have implemented tt fonts for both menus and for everything (2d, pmi, etc)
- have made a custom modified with the st to become an open body
- have implemented conical edge blends (yeah!!! finally!! tell me thank you! :redface
- they have implemented the editing of the holes for the type (normal/polluted)
- have implemented the constraint navigator
- have implemented the "booklets"

What the hell happened? ? ? ? but it was not said that these things were from "mid market". :mixed:

I know it happened. but I don't tell you.

I would do "the ola" at all points of your list.
looks like they give a "discussed" to the usability of the product.

Now I'm curious... but what happened!:smile:

definitely our company will pass to nx8 as soon as possible because this innovation was more than due, rather than hoped.

I do not agree that these improvements are considered suitable for medium-range cad solutions.
These options are necessary to all designers, because it is not the cad that makes them medium or high.

It is not polemical, but that I cannot change the type of hole because the project has evolved or that it cannot change the type of flange or that it cannot have automatisms for the table or that it cannot exploit the jt technology to speed up the design in the environment together, it seemed absurd.
only small and some examples.

we say that now users nx8 will not be able to complain, because so much has been done.
I can't wait to go to nx8.

Maybe they read the tread "we improve noug"?
or maybe matrix got tired of always answering the same questions, and he broke the balls to the right people. . .

Anyway, it sounds really interesting. It's amazing!
I was planning the migration from nx6 to nx7.5 maybe towards January (in the company we have 6 licenses), with so much change of workstations; in light of these statements almost appearance nx8.

As for tc we are at tcx3, what can one tell me if it is worth the upgrade of the pdm too?

 

[The_Matrix]

All right. I'll unveil the secret of fleas. :biggrin:
we say that we took a tot of new customers (gross) in 2 markets that for us were not "commun" (we say that for us the "commun" markets were the automotive and the aerospace):
- ship
- machinery (the name siemens hope to tell you something)
... then, in r&d, the sleeves have been ripped to close the most obvious functional "holes". . .

is a typical example of this renewed will to invest in markets that are not the usual ones that give us food.

I always thought it was + simple for nx to add these 4 craps that for others to put what nx has of peculiar.

just more than they put me in a next nx a "hole table" like the one we developed and I jump from the 3rd floor!!! :finger:

ps per user nx: I would love to spend 2 hours with you, next to nx7 (say 7.5, since I only have this version on pc :redface and understand why "can not use jt technology to speed up design in the environment together". I can do it very well and do not realize where functional "holes" are that prevent it.

You give me too much influence.
thanks to me only for the conical edge blend.
it is not what I wanted (edge blend in g2) but at least it is a step forward.

I am nx7 user who has nothing to do with nx7.5.
The jt is the technology behind the lightweight.
in version nx7 the lightweight does not serve anything, as once loaded display in 3d just.
you can't do the food and you can't even mate and anything.
This is what I mean and it makes me species that have implemented it only in 7.5 switch automatism, when jt technology has been used in siemens for years.
However they are sterile polemics now, because I already have the ok of the passage to nx8 from my cad manager and so it is to work only 1 month with nx7.

But I don't want to argue.
I would really like to sit near you and see if using nx7 lightweights there are all these limitations.
I work like this:
a) I open the assembly in lw
b) coupling of 2 components:
- select the 2 components: isolated
- replace ref set model of 1°
- replace ref set model of the 2nd
... I put the assembly constraint
- select the 2 components: replace ref set lightweight
- review the whole assembly (which being lightweight is displayed in an amen)
c) table
- I have the assembly in lightweight
- I'm going to the table.
- if the eye view is "simple": I put the view "traditional" (no lightweight)
... I always use edge extracts
- if the view is complicated: I put the view lightweight
- the iso or "descriptive" views I always put them lightweight

... I can't find something in this flow that I can't do. That's why I'd like to put myself there with you and see where the process is going.
do not see any controversy where there are no.

We assume that who uses the cad is a designer and uses it a couple of hours a day.
we continue with the fact that in the step of 'b' there is b1, b2, b3, etc...
We continue with the fact that in the step of 'b' there is the fact that when you review everything, nx recalculates all 3d views (I register a video if you want).
We continue with the fact that the complete cycle of 'b' you have to do it for the duration of your design of assemblies.
So I ask nx users, do you prefer to follow the matrix board or decide to load the axieme with reference set 'non lightweight' waiting for the completion of loading a 20% more on the total and be free subsequently?

on the point 'c', insert view in lightweight, the display is iron fil.
You know, if you don't have 7, you don't know.

However context that siemens plm has implemented it only in 2010 this automatic switch, when solidworks that has the lightweight does it by sw2004 (6 or more years ago).
in these years siemens plm has done a lot on tc and modeling, but the environment together is not from best in class, which should be.

I repeat, I will pass to nx8 just released and then of nx7 I will only have memories.

I see/note/count that the tone is always arrogant, no reason.
So, it's okay with me like that... use nx as you want.

The speech is that you underestimate some kind of user.
I'm not one of those users who use nx as if it were ug17.
use nx7 10 hours per day.
I made the cast, I document, read, try and try again, I question my method made 1 month before, after some readings.
I try to make the most of the tool cad and your proposal certainly does not facilitate the work of a designer.
You know what the designer has to do?
design, do not worry about which strategy you use to not be wasting time waiting to recalculate or to which procedure you perform otherwise you do not feel the components.
