TT-3 | Siemens NX – Tips and Tricks
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.
Here is the code:
setColor=ug_setObjectColor(First(ug_cycleObjectsByType({ug_body}, “”)), colorID)

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!

Create the inner volume
Do you have complex parts and need the inner volume? It's easy with the right selection. Start the Delete command, and combine the option Region Faces with All But Selected.

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.

Replace sketch curves
References can be lost when changes are made to sketches. The Replacement Assistant allows you to replace (mapping) the sketch curve without error.
