    NX 11 on Win 11 Pro - Not backward compatible with Win 10 Pro

    Did some further testing last eve using a different Win10 machine. Turns out there was something corrupt with the first one. The second machine worked just fine. The slow updates in Win11 were connected to an extracted body in the seed files, used for part listing dims. Re worked that and all...

    NX 11 on Win 11 Pro - Not backward compatible with Win 10 Pro

    You can pay a one time fee to get your license server moved... Prior to covid it was about 1K$ Your license server doesn't need to be connected to the internet to be on your local network. It will still serve up licenses. As long as it's not connected to the internet and your not placing any...

    NX 11 on Win 11 Pro - Not backward compatible with Win 10 Pro

    Was having some NX performance issues on Win 11 OS (Slow wave link updates) Decided to take the data back to an older Win 10 machine and see if the issues ported over or not. Turns out I can't even work with it on the Win 10 machine. It loads but I'm getting a "signal 11" error. No solids...

    NX11 issue in Win 11 after updates

    Turned out to be a video driver update that took place in the background. Rolled it back and that fixed it.

    Drafting Files with mixed units failure, NX11

    I just reinstalled NX on a new system and the first drafting task I had was mixed units. To be more specific, I'm drafting one part only, not an assembly. The base part in mm, the drafting seed file is inch. When you do this for the first time after an install, you're presented with a dialogue...

    Journal to change color of solids & sheets, NX11

    I have to change the colors of solids and sheets of child parts all the time. In order to so, you have to set the following. * A geometry filter before selecting * Check the "Apply changes to owning part" box in the dialogue If you forget either one, the result is only effective in the...

    Convert Units Journal: Executes but fails to convert

    I may have bigger issues... using the UG Convert Part Utility is giving the same results. No conversion. But it does say it was successful. Dave Automotive Tooling / Aircraft Tooling / Ground Support Structures NX11, Win 10 Pro

    Convert Units Journal: Executes but fails to convert

    Thanks Cowski... didn't expect you or anyone else to be on here this week. Made sure my environment variable "UGII_BASE_DIR" "C:\Program Files\Siemens\NX 11.0 - BASE" is correct Checked information -> parts -> loaded parts before and after executing. Same units, no change. I downloaded this...

    System and drafting fonts just changed on there own, NX11

    I've found that all my drafting seed files have switched to the "AmdtSymbols" font. Which is chaos! Even the UCS icon is using this font now in model space Anyone else ever have something like this happen? I've been using NX for 25 years... NEVER seen this one! TIA for any feedback Dave...

    NX 11, Component "Ghost" trips up save-as

    Thanks Cowski, Let's give the journal a try, I'm still on v11. It would be a nice tool to have in the box if it works in this version. This was a tool assembly I imported from step and made limited changes to, it's mostly dumb bodies. No constraints, some geometry links, no inter-part...
