    Underlining overriden dimensions in drafting

    CorBlimeyLimey, yours was the best response, but I would be satisfied with an armed escort out of the building for such offenders. In the 15 years I have been working there have always been those who, due to ignorance, laziness or apathy, have decided to take the easy way and cheat by...

    Underlining overriden dimensions in drafting

    I wondering if there is any way of automatically underlining any dimension in drafting that has been overridden. I would like to see a checkbox included in either Tools > Options > System Options > Drawings> OR Tools > Options > Document Properties > Dimensions so that one can choose to...

    Numerical display description in drafting

    I have a drawing set to ANSI B and have my units set to inches. How come when I create a new dimension it comes in as an experssion of a foot (FEET_INC)? 2.50 in appears as .2'. Sure I can chage the diplay of the dimension after the fact, but how do I change the defaust setting so that all my...

    Proper Nomenclature when refering to I-deas

    Good to know. I just hope managers don't use the term NX6 to describe NX I-deas 6m2. Some probably will. The glass is operating at 50% capacity.

    Proprer nomencalture when refering to I-deas

    So what is the latest release/version of I-deas called? Is MS still used? (as in NX I-deas MS12) I've seen somewhere it being called NX I-deas 6. Pontentially confusing if you ask me. I guess when recruiters ask me what's the latest version of I-deas that I've used, I'll just tell them "the...

    Proprer nomencalture when refering to I-deas

    What happened is that UG got relabled as NX. Slowly some funtionallity from I-deas is being incorporated into newer versions of NX. I thought Siemens was not going to do anything with I-deas past MasterSeries 12. Apparently this is not the case...

    Proprer nomencalture when refering to I-deas

    In the past when I-deas was still owned by SDRC people would use the terms SDRC or I-deas interchangebly to refer to the softaware. Sometimes both (SDRC I-deas). SDRC of course was aquired by EDS, but there are ads out there for jobs looking for people with SDRC expereince (where have these...

    Student Versions of NX/Solid Edge?

    John, Any update as to if/when Siemens will make available a trial or student version of NX4,5,6... avialable to those of us who are out of work and only last used a earlier version of NX and would like to keep up with the latest version of NX so they can add to their marketability? I last...

    ...here's another.. http://lunderkin.com/buy_cheap-solid-edge-16-oem.php I'm a little skeptical of these sites though... The glass is operating at 50% capacity.

    Student Versions of NX/Solid Edge?

    Hey John, I just stumbled accross these sites: (I don't know why they didn't turn up before) http://lunderkin.com/buy_cheap-solid-edge-16-oem.php http://www.archwaysystems.com/archway/prodsolidedge.htm Are these legit? The glass is operating at 50% capacity.

    Student Versions of Solide Edge/ NX?

    Um... seems like this discusion has veered off course a bit. We are discussing SolidEDGE here. But I just stumbled across this... http://www.archwaysystems.com/archway/prodsolidedge.htm I wonder why this never turned up in my previous searches? Now if Seimens would offer a student version...

    Student Versions of Solide Edge/ NX?

    from beachcomer: "I had exactly the same problem with SolidWorks when I was unemployed recently. I contacted a supplier to get a 30-day copy to brush up my skills but was told no chance." Obtaining a student version is as easy as registering and signing up for a class - probably something cad...
