    Sketch Line Colors -- colors not showing sometimes when out of sketch

    You can change the color of the entire sketch for viewing outside of the sketch. This should be done after finishing the sketch, right click on sketch, edit display. NX 1847 TC 11.5

    Sheet Metal Flat Pattern Bend Display Settings

    I was indicating that a save as (and save unique) doesn't grab the new template, so this fix would only work for newly created files. I think that we are saying the same thing. NX 1847 TC 11.5

    Sheet Metal Flat Pattern Bend Display Settings

    Yes unless of course a save as or make unique operation is used. I thought that this was tried before by our previous cad administrator and it didn't "stick." I will try this again, thanks. NX 1847 TC 11.5

    Sheet Metal Flat Pattern Bend Display Settings

    We show flat patterns on our fabrication sheets. We manually change the .2 below to .0 to hide trailing zero's as we program and bend to even angle increments almost exclusively. Is there a way to change this in customer defaults somewhere and make it a site standard? BEND...

    temp file error on save very often in 1947

    Unsure what causes this and it doesn't seem to affect anything. New issue since 1847 install. Any insight or concern? NX 1847 TC 11.5

    extruding imported dxf curves

    I see this a lot. Try Simplify Curve? (Menu-Insert-Derived Curve-Simplify Curve). You can also reference or project into a sketch and the recreate using constrained geometry as you wish. NX 1847 TC 11.5

    NX11 - Family Part Question

    Long shot for sure. If you just generate the part family parts you can have a preview of each at least. If the naming conventions is some common prefix with a suffix for example, the Engineer could then scroll through them and view the previews instead of adding component from the part family...

    Hole Callout Format Settings, Where is it?

    I think Cowski may have missed the PMI part. You are looking at the drafting standard but you are trying to change PMI display. The same menu is in the PMI settings under hole callout. NX 1847 TC 11.5

    Tips on kinematic synthesis in 3D using sketch/constraints or other tools?

    Here's a technique that I came up with that might be able to be applied. I use what I call a drive sketch and a driven sketch. The drive sketch is created using input parameters (user expressions). The results are then associatively measured to create new expressions. Equations are written...

    Failure when repositioning patterned deformable component

    There is a coordinate system in the deformable part but it is not a used feature in the deformation definition. I feel that the deformed body is defined at a point in space and time. The result is the component moves but the deformed body remains and its old position resulting it what appears...

    Failure when repositioning patterned deformable component

    Good thought but the original constrained component does not fail. It is the bodies of the patterned components that fail. The non deformed portion of the body and the deformed portion separate. NX 1847 TC 11.5

    Failure when repositioning patterned deformable component

    An associate had a scenario where he had to deform a part in his assembly. I helped him create the deformation definition and it is a very simple one (one of the tubes is definable). The assembly contains several of the same parts deformed the same way in a linear pattern. I instructed him to...

    NX10 Cut and Paste Text

    It can also happen going from say an E size to an A size. In this case, I would drag the text near the drawing origin in the bottom left corner before copying. NX 1847 TC 11.5

    Multiple sheets or Multiple drawings

    We used the master model concept in Native previously. We have a customized BOM per sheet and the sheets follow work centers. ie: laser, fabrication, assembly. We make separate specifications for each drawing and they are all under one item in Teamcenter. NX 1847 TC 11.5

    model curves are created in referenced part instead of assembly (work part)

    "Feature" huh? One man's treasure is another man's trash I suppose. Thanks, that did it! NX 1847 TC 11.5
