    NX11 Drawing and points

    How do you get points to show up on the drawing when they are in the drawing file, not the linked part. If I move them to the part, they show up. Unfortunately, the part is locked in our PLM. Any ideas?

    NX9 - Drafting - Curves and points

    This may have been asked before, the quick search was unable to locate any information. Since NX9, I have not been able to use curves or points in the views of a drawing, if they reside in the drawing file. Only if they are in the model file using reference sets. Used to be able to do this...

    Hello, Is there a way to create a symbol of the company logo, it has the name and a symbol, so I can put it in a table for the titleblock? Same would go for the 3rd angle projection text and symbol. Any ideas? Thank you.

    Nissan data, How are you handling the new method?

    With Nissan's new method of 3d annotation being separated in different files, how are you handling this data with your own internal PLM? We use SAP. I am not sure what the best method is for storing incoming data. Should we import all the extra parts into one common component file, or check...

    Dimension change to reference

    Is there an easy way to change a dimension to reference? Or, do you have to go into the properties after it's created then add the ()? Thank you.

    CGMs on Drawings - reducing the amounts of the entities

    Cowski, I create the CGMS or save off the drawings from GM Teamcenter. We still print off drawings for our suppliers or plants. They use them to create the tools somehow.

    CGMs on Drawings - reducing the amounts of the entities

    OK, I will adjust some of the output options. Another thing I am trying now is creating custom symbols of the drawing. But I might run into when other people view our drawing, the symbols might not show up since they are saved locally on my machine. Any other thoughts would be great. Thank you.
