Thanks for the help! I accidently replied to that other thread lol Here is a copy paste from it. Unfortunately that doesn't work. It will snap to either the left or the right side of the symbol, but not the center. Under normal operation, it will function exactly like you showed in the AVI in...

Thanks for the help! Unfortunately that doesn't work. It will snap to either the left or the right side of the symbol, but not the center. Under normal operation, it will function exactly like you showed in the AVI in that post... but some parts that I have to work on don't operate like that...

Hi Cowski! That link actually leads back to this thread lol

Hello all! I'm having an issue in NX9 where I can't position a Datum symbol directly under the extension line, but only in some NX parts files. NX will only let me add them with a stub, where it sits offset to the left/right. I've tried inheriting the annotation settings from a known good...

Or if it works better with the tool, not even transitioning into a sketch. Just "denting" the solid body at the top-center would do exactly what I need it to as well I'd assume.

Thanks John! So I played around with Global Shaping and it seems to be exactly what I'm looking for, but I can't seem to find a tutorial to get it to do quite what I'm looking for. If anyone has experience with Global Shaping and can point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it...

and Global Shaping lol (couldn't edit my post for some reasons).

I will check into Realize Shape (and synchronous modeling)! Thank you so much for the suggestions. Cheers!

Hello! I have an unusual request from a customer of mine, at least compared to most of the modeling that I do, but essentially what I'm looking for is a way to bend/morph/deform a parametric model (if possible)... similar to how the modifiers work in 3DsMAX for anyone familiar with it. To be...

Hi John. So I played around with the lightweight representation function and I can verify that it's working visually, but it doesn't do much to help performance. I looked at a particularly demanding assembly, for example, and saw that just a single component part contained 2700 solid bodies and...

That's something we've never used before. What exactly does this function do? I assume just shows rough/less accurate approximation of the assembly geometry? edit: So I tried loading an assembly with "use lightweight representations" checked in load options and didn't notice much of a...

A little of both. For example, going from drafting to modeling can sometimes take a pretty long time depending on the size of the model. Also, from within modeling, trying to unhide a component can sometimes take quite a while. So it seems that pretty much anything that requires UG to redraw the...

What is the common hardware bottleneck when using large/complex models in UG? I'm trying to put together a 'test' machine at my company for future workstation upgrades. Most of our computers are running a 2.67Ghz Intel Xeon with 16GB of ram and a FirePRO V7800 (2GB). For the most part, the...

oops. Messed up the image. I'll try this again. I also wanted to note, this is NX 8.0.0.25

Thanks John. I appreciate you taking the time to look into this for us. I took a look and I don't see that option under general. I do see one sort of similar that says "save dialog box settings between sessions" and it's enabled. Here is an image of it.
