TT-15-2 | Siemens NX – Tips and Tricks
Administering Siemens NX Team Profiles Centrally
Eliminate chaos from your team, and ensure perfect collaboration from now on, with identical presets and user interfaces. This is because settings can be easily managed centrally in NX. In the last video, you learned how to change and save your customer defaults using a small start script. Now let’s expand this script, so that all team members in NX, work with the same settings. However, selected settings can still be changed individually. The loading of assemblies is also standardised with identical load options. However, exceptions are possible here too. And with an identical user interface, for all team members, telephone support becomes much easier. This is, because the icon is in the same place for everyone.
So, there are no more excuses! Watch the video and in 12 minutes you’ll know how to do it. With shared settings, and a common user interface, the design manual for the team can finally be defined.

Find the assembly in windows
Since all files in NX have the same file extension, it seems impossible at first to distinguish between assemblies and components in Windows. But it is quite simple!

Change colour via expression
Products with identification colours have the same geometry, but different colours. There are many possible solutions for this, but the best would be, to be able, to change the colour via an expression.

Target value optimization
The Optimization command can be used to find the target value using automated tests.
Normally, the variables change the result in a calculable way. But if the constraints are very complex, the desired result must be determined through testing. A parameter is adjusted until a measurement corresponds to the target value. The number of tests, calculation time and tolerance can be set.

Show center of gravity in model, assembly and drawing
The center of gravity (center of mass) for a model or assembly can be created associatively using the Measure command. To show the center of gravity in a drawing, it must be in the reference set model, and with the help of layers it is shown in selected views.

How to restore the rotation curve
The Revolve Outline command can be used to restore the rotation curve with just a few clicks. And this works with a parametric model as well as with a non-parametric model (step). And so complex parts become simple turned parts again.

Save settings in menus with Favorites
Favorites can be used to save settings in the menus. The saved settings can be called up later in the command. A user-defined icon can also be linked to the favorites and called up directly via the user interface.

Create realistic milling pockets with just a few clicks
The Blend Pocket command helps to quickly create radii that are suitable for production in a milling pocket. The command immediately generates a geometry corresponding to the cutter diameter and thus also helps to find the right diameter. It produces realistic results even if the pocket has undercuts. This allows you to customise the built-in parts perfectly. The command cannot be found directly in the user interface, but is nevertheless included in the basic licence.

Remove unnecessary surface edges
Step data from other CAD systems often have such separations in the surfaces. This means additional work when creating CAM programs, as the edges could create incorrect dimensions in the drawing.
However, they can be easily removed..
