Using resources to manufacture parts in NX CAM > Getting started with creating tools in Resource Manager
Writing NX part attributes
You can use the Update NX Tool Assembly Part File menu command to select various part attributes.
When you execute NX Integration functions in Teamcenter, by default the part attributes are not written into the part file.
Note
The Set tool junctions setting in the Update NX Tool Assembly Part File menu command must be selected to use this function.
Attributes must be mapped before you synchronize Setup X, Setup Y, and Setup Z attribute values from NX to Teamcenter.
For more information see Synchronize attribute values from NX to Teamcenter.
Note
When you reload the resource NX Integration functions in Teamcenter, the updated part file attribute values are displayed.
The setup values are immediately updated in Teamcenter when the Auto Assembly functionality is used.
Teamcenter and NX Validation
- Validation in Teamcenter
The Nomin. Setup X and Nomin. Setup Y settings are empty and need to be defined before you create a new Update NX Tool Assembly Part File in Teamcenter.
- Validation in NX
When you create a new Create/Update NX Tool Assembly Part File, and open the part file in NX, the CAM_TOOL_ATT_X, CAM_TOOL_ATT_Y, and CAM_TOOL_ATT_Z part attributes are displayed with the proper values.
Note
The Graphics Builder must be configured before you use the Create/Update NX Tool Assembly Part File.
