I was a pretty active forum participant here years ago when there were more hours in a day. I remember sharing a lot of board space ;)

lol...how you been John? It's been a while. I think your two cents would be worth about 100x that but I'd probably refrain in your shoes too ;)

Hey all. It's been a while since I was actively participating around here but had an interesting experience recently that I thought I'd share. For a little background, I've owned a product development company for nearly 15 years. It's size has scaled over the years along with the economy but...

Spending $30k will not however fix how the salesmen sell the term 'downward compatible'. It would be a great way to piss off the wife though.

Hey all...long time no post ;) Ran into a problem a couple times over the last few weeks that wasn't a big deal until it cost me a day's worth of work so I figured I'd post about it because although the topic had been somewhat addressed a couple times on a few different sites, none of the given...

When you import an STL file you can go under Edit -> Facet Body to clean it up and smooth it out but it's still not going to give you edges, arcs, lines, etc. that you can use for aligning components. I don't know of anything that will convert a facet-type file into what you're looking for.

Must be a new NX4 error because I'm still on 3 and I'm sure I've seen every error they have!...lol

That's only a 128mb card....it's going to be a tird with anything big loaded up.

lol...thanks Joe...I didn't even know that command was there! Take care....

hmmm..I haven't done any programs with a barrel cutter but assumed if you defined your tool as a barrel cutter it would recognize where the shaft dia. was and be a breeze. Did you define the cutter that way? Interesting timing though...I've got some cylinder head programs to write in the next...

Based on your description I'd bet it's graphics related....what graphics card are you using?

Hey Tim...nkwheelguy....you got it bud! And all the long-time UG guys are with you. A lot of users don't use some of the functionality we're complaining about so it's no sweat of their back. UG hasn't addressed any of the "seriously annoying" problems that a "high-end" user faces since I've...

From your top level....goto File>>Export...export a part...in the export part dialog you need to specify your exported part name, check "All Objects" in the selection scope and "Remove Parameters" from the feature parameters section, then select "Class Selection" and select your entire assembly...

I've been supplied with JT data and need to somehow make it usable. As a "faceted body" it's esentially worthless to me and corporate "politics" prevent me from getting any other data....nice huh?...good 'ol American efficiency for you! We'd rather screw our neighbors over than lend them a...

yeah...UG actually recommends you disable hyper-threading. But...are you guys actually executing a command when this happens or is it just happening regardless of what you're doing? If so....do you remember what commands? Also....what hardware are you running on? Take care...
