    perspective projection in studio mode

    I would like to stop NX from automatically change to perspective projection when I change from SHADED WITH EDGES to STUDIO rendering style. I can't find it in the forum or customer defaults Any ideas ? Older budweiser NX1926, hp z820

    Sketch details in part navigator

    I am wondering where the details are... When I click on any feature in the part navigator, like "extrude", "hole", the details tab shows the parameters(start limit, end limit, diameter). But, if I click on a sketch, nothing is shown in the details tab. This used to be the case in earlier...

    upgrading from 2 old dino monitors

    I have two HP 30 " monitors for use with NX (1953 at the moment). I would like to upgrade since the oldest one is from 2007 and, even if both are HP, I can't get the dispay settings the same (contrast, colortemp, the like). Now I have the option of replacing both monitors at the same time with...

    Crosshatch options grayed out

    Turning off Assembly Cross Hatching when creating an assembly drawing seems not logical.Also, turning off this option did not solve the problem. But your suggestion put me on the right track. The trick is unchecking "Process Hidden Crosshatch". Attached file from NX 1926. Older budweiser NX8.5...

    Crosshatch options grayed out

    It seems to be file specific, not sure why. In some parts the crosshatch options are grayed out, in other parts they are not. Older budweiser NX8.5 & NX9.0 64bit, hp z820

    Crosshatch options grayed out

    Hi all, I have a question about my crosshatch settings, see attached image. The "Crosshatch definition" and "Pattern" options are grayed out. I cant't find a setting in the customer defaults or preferences to correct this. I changed the file permissions for xhatch.chx in the UGII folder to...

    SHOCK FORK design model

    This looks rather morphed. Is it a scanned model ? To me it seems one would use freeform modelling combined with sheet metal. I'll give it a try. Older budweiser NX8.5 & NX9.0 64bit, hp z820

    How to model this ??

    PrintScaffold, that's not a roll formed cylinder. Roll forming is creating a cylinder by roll forming a flat sheet. That feature is not available in NX, http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=318888. Older budweiser NX8.5 & NX9.0 64bit, hp z820

    How to model this ??

    Bwsh uses a method I like, although the cylinder option is my favorite. As John hinted before, how can this be done in sheet metal ? I know it is not possible to roll form a cylinder from sheet (not in NX9 that is). Older budweiser NX8.5 & NX9.0 64bit, hp z820

    Having Problems Creating Rib! Please Help.

    In case you cannot open a NX9 part, here's a picture. Older budweiser NX8.5 & NX9.0 64bit, hp z820 http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=4480bae3-5a9b-4a04-977d-67afc55a0ee5&file=move_edge.png

    Having Problems Creating Rib! Please Help.

    I am not sure if the move edge command is available in NX7.5, but in NX9 it does the job. I am the kind of guy that always likes to minimize the number of features, so this one is my kind of thing. No curves or projections, just sketches and features. Older budweiser NX8.5 & NX9.0 64bit, hp...

    Opening drawing files of part files in assembly, master model approach

    I have an assembly, containing about 40 parts. Each part has it's own drawing file attached via the master-model aproach. Is there a way to open all the drawing parts at once (just like all the parts are opened ) when opening the assembly ? So opening assembly results in opening part1, part2 and...
