NX Basic Design: Interface and Navigation

NX Basic Design - NX X – 2406

• The Cue Line area prompts the user on what to do within the NX user interface.
• ID/Revision/Name are minimum mandatory fields when creating a new Teamcenter Model via File, New, Item.
• The Command Finder locates and activates specific commands associated with words or phrases.
• Part Navigator is found on the Resource Bar.
• QuickPick can be used to cycle through possible candidate objects when the cursor hovers over more than one object.
• In NX, command availability and layout are organized by Applications that support major workflows.
• Roles in NX control what buttons are displayed in the ribbon groups.
• If commands are missing, changing your role may display them.
• To start a command from the Command Finder not on the Ribbon bar, click the command in Command Finder.
• The Roles Tab can be found on the Ribbon Bar.
• Selected CSYS is the type of Reference CSYS used to establish associativity to an existing Datum Coordinate System when creating an Offset – Datum CSYS.
• A Unite operation creates a single solid body out of two or more existing solid bodies.
• Stop at Intersection is used to extrude a sketch curve to where it crosses another curve or edge.
• The "Until Extended" extrude limit requires face selection.
• UniteSubtractIntersect are Boolean operations.
• Layer Settings are used to control if objects are visible and selectable.
• All new objects are created on the Work layer by default.
• The Show and Hide command temporarily removes all Sketches and Datums from the graphics window display, assuming all geometry is on the same layer.
• Clicking and holding the right mouse button either in the background or on top of an object invokes the radial toolbar.
• Layer Settings is used to make datum planes temporarily invisible.
• The Work Layer is where objects are placed when created.
• A Datum Plane feature is used to define a new Sketch on a non-planar face.
• Varying a dimension to see how the sketch changes can investigate a sketch's design intent.
• The Revolve command creates a feature by rotating a section string around an axis through a specified angle.
• To create a datum plane at an angle to a face, select a face and datum axis or straight edge.
• An advantage of creating an edge blend feature instead of fillet curves inside a sketch is that it can be edited, suppressed, or deleted without affecting the sketch.
• External threads are not a type of hole that you can create.
• Sketch curves cannot be selected to create Edge Blend features.
• A Two Angle chamfer cannot be created.
• Taking advantage of Hole feature instead of an Extrude is that it can be easily edited to change the form.
• A single feature includes the hole, threads, and the entry and exit chamfers when creating a threaded hole for a specific fastener.
• A separate Thread command creates external threads specifically.
• Creating chamfers in a sketch allows the model history to have fewer features.
• Deactivating the Timestamp Order option in the Part Navigator allows to view solid bodies in the model.
• When selecting a feature in the Part Navigator, the colors of the text above and below the selected Feature means the Parent- and Child relationships.
• When selecting a feature in the Part Navigator, the color of the text of its children features then become blue.
• The Details Group lists the parameters, expressions, and values of a feature without using the Show Dimensions command in the Part Navigator.
• The Refresh command erases temporarily displayed dimensions from the graphics window after using the Show Dimensions command on a sketch.
• By default, the child features are automatically deleted when their parent feature is deleted.
• Resize Blend Synchonous Modeling command can be used to change the radii of this feature regardless of the feature history.
• Move Face Synchonous Modeling command can be used to transform faces in a linear direction, angular direction, or from point to point.
• Synchronous modeling commands can be used on both history based and non-parametric models.
• Double-clicking on any node in the Assembly Navigator quickly makes it the Work Part.
• To Design a component in context of an assembly means that the assembly is the displayed part and the component being edited is the Work Part.
• To tell which reference set is displayed, look for the reference set name in the Assembly Navigator.
• The New Component command can model multiple bodies in the assembly part file and later push these solids into their own component part files.
• This determines how NX loads the component parts into an assembly, such as loading components fully or partially, is the Assembly load options.
• Entire Part is the default Reference Set available if no additional reference sets have been defined.
• To edit within the context of an assembly, you must make the part the work part.
• To create an assembly using the Bottom-Up method, you must create the parts separately and then add them to the assembly.
• "Fully Loaded" is not a valid choice for NX Load Options.
• To add a part from a part family template, one must use a search criteria and select the desired part file from a list.
• In bottom-up assembly modeling, piece parts are created and then later add to an assembly.
• The Show Degrees of Freedom command displays the number of rotational and transitional degrees that a component can move in an assembly.
• In an assembly, you can find the name of the reference set that is being displayed for a component in the Assembly Navigator.
• In the Assembly Navigator, the “Work Part" node is represented by bold font text and a yellow component symbol.
• The "Work Part” node is represented by bold font text and a yellow component symbol.
• All family members of the Template part are Read only.
• The Add Component dialog does not provide information about the constraints in your assembly.
• In Bottom-up modeling, you create component parts at the Assembly level.
• By default, all components you add to the assembly have 6 degrees of freedom.
• You can get information about an assembly’s constraints from the Constraint Navigator.
• How can you create a note with a leader is to Click and drag while placing the note
• Populate Title Block drafting command allows the creation of a text annotation that would be placed in title block.
• A separate part, with the model geometry added as a component of the drafting part is ideally how to create a drawing of the model geometry when you have a master model.
• PMI is not one of common drafting dimension standards.
• By clicking and dragging the view border to the desired location, you can reposition a drawing view.
• Right-click a view border and choose Add Projected View to create a projected view.
• Comment is the term used for an expression description.
• If Width=12 and Length=Width*2; selecting Width and pressing Delete makes Width cannot be deleted.

Product Design Fundamentals - 2406 - NX X

• If-Else is used to create a conditional expression.
• The Suppress by Expression command controls the display of a specific feature based on an expression's value.
• Expressions are automatically created when features are created.
• Expressions that are not used can be deleted using the Expression dialog box.
• if(Length==5)(150)else if(Length==4)(195)else(25) is an example of a conditional expression.
• Useful for protecting important expressions from being modified is a true statement about the Lock Formula option in the Expressions dialog box.
• It is possible to incorporate design intent after the initial model construction, but it may be more difficult.
• Expressions are not automatically created When a part is opened.
• if(Length==5)(150)else if(Length==4)(195)else(25) is the correct format when creating a conditional expression
• False: Expressions with locked formulas when created cannot be unlocked.
• The modeling strategy, the organization of the model, and the creation of expressions helps establish the modeling concept Design Intent.
• The design intent cannot be added to a model after the initial construction is a false statement.
• The Replace Feature command substitutes bodies and datums and reapplies dependent features.
• The geometry must have a timestamp before it is reattached as a prerequisite You can reattach a sketch to new geometry.
• The same dialog box used to create the feature is generally accessed when using Edit Parameters or Edit with Rollback.
• Easily edit a model's feature by Double-clicking the feature in the Part Navigator.
• Body based features can be browsed in the Browser.
• The Feature Browser explores parent-child relations between features and their ancestor and descendant objects.
• With Edit with Rollback, the Feature being edited is made the current feature, all later features are suppressed, once the edit is complete the model is rebuilt to the end.
• A red X to the left of a feature in the Part Navigator indicates the feature Has failed, but can be edited to possibly correct the failure.
• The Alternate Solution command or Enter a negative value for the dimension type when displaying other solutions for a Linear dimension.
• A warning symbol on a feature in the part navigator means to imply if a Potential problem – feature could build but there may be issues.
• To move the location of a sketch to a new plane after already creating the sketch, Reattach the sketch.
• Both commands generally use the same dialog box used to create the feature when using Edit Parameters vs. Edit with Rollback commands?
• Model Views from the part navigator cannot be explored using the Browser graph view window
• The Browser explores parent-child relations between features and their ancestor and descendant objects.

• Which one of these are not an Alert type? Caution
• Using Reattach Sketch command, you can do the following except: Specify the new sketch group With the Shell command the Alternate Thickness option allows you to create which of the following? Different thicknesses in different areas
• If you use the Shell command on a solid body and do not select at least one pierced direction which of the following will be the result be? A hollow solid body
• When using the Trim Body the vector that is displaced points towards the portion of the body that will be towards
• When creating a shell, individual thicknesses can ne assigned to faces.
• When you use the Shell command, the wall thickness vector points in the positive direction of wall thickness
• The curves must lie in the same plane when creating Offset Curves for Distance, Draft and Law control type
• To apply slopes to faces for use in molded or die cast parts
• Extrude options include are Single Sided, Two sided and Symmetric
• The arrow will print in the direction that will be removed - How can you tell which side of the model will be trimmed with the trim command?
• Specify as Alternate Thickness how do you create individual thicknesses while using the shell command
• While creating a shell feature, the direction of the arrow means Positive wall thickness
• When creating a shell, you need to remove a face that is adjacent to a blend face. What setting needs to be set to help prevent failures? Add shelf face at tangent edge
• How do you create offset curves in both directions at the same time? Toggle on Symmetric Offset
• Required A model with drafted side, in a molded or cast model typically.
• When designing a molded part that needs to be released from two halves of a mold, what should be designed into the part? a parting line
• What option will create a body with wall thickness from an extrude feature? offset
• Bounded Plane; What command in NX can you use to create a surface from an open set of connected planar curves?
