    Trade Compliance info embedded in model file

    NX8 : Plotting with object translucency

    Ok, my issue is that no matter what I seems to do, the pdf output is ALWAYS a non-shaded standard view. No translucency at all. Ideas ? Kirk Alderfer Designer Meggitt Polymers & Composites Rockmart, Georgia "Imagination continually frustrates tradition, that is its function." -John Pfeiffer

    Best and clearest way to insert images into NX ?

    Thanks John, That is what I was afraid of. My issue is the quality of their document translating it over to NX. Goes from fairly good to fairly grainy and that makes me worry that it wont scan well. Again thanks, Kirk Kirk Alderfer Designer Meggitt Polymers & Composites Rockmart, Georgia...

    Best and clearest way to insert images into NX ?

    Hi all, Something a little basic. I have to insert customer drawings into our border formats for release. What is the best and clearest way to do this ? Would be cool if there was an editor in NX that would let me trim and eliminate what I do not want in the image. Thanks, Kirk Kirk Alderfer...

    How do you make an easy geodesic shape in NX ?

    It is more of a soccer ball than Bucky ball. I did one manually, playing around with the location angles but I would think there could/should be an easier way. See attachment Kirk Alderfer Designer Meggitt Polymers & Composites Rockmart, Georgia "Imagination continually frustrates tradition...

    Recommended practice for calling out multiple parts

    Have a question on what is the recommended practice. In the attachment I show a section view that represents a generic boss with the appropriate sizes. Underneath the view, the the part number is shown as well as the number of times it is used. The question is, do I really need to show...

    FIle load error

    Fixed the issue...just dont know why it did whatever it did. Ended up going into my AppData and deleting out my "user", "NX85_user" and my drafting standard mtx files and letting the system reset itself. Kirk Alderfer Designer Meggitt Polymers & Composites Rockmart, Georgia "Imagination...

    Adjusting perspective

    Way back when, you used to be able to adjust your perspective parameters, is that still possible ? I dug a little through preferences, but didnt find anything other than being able to turn on auto perspective. Thanks, Kirk Kirk Alderfer Designer Meggitt Polymers & Composites Rockmart, Georgia...

    True Shade in a drafting view ?

    Is there a way to get the True Shade view to show up in the drafting view ? I can do the Fully Shaded option in view style, but would really like True Shade. And an imported jpeg or cgm image isnt an option. Kirk Kirk Alderfer Designer Meggitt Polymers & Composites Rockmart, Georgia...
