    Siemens NX12 Network Wifi issues

    What you describe could be related to bufferbloat. A more accurate test would be to do a test from http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest and see if that is the issue.

    Can you make PMI call out a component's DB_PART_DESC?

    Try this <WRef0*0@"attribute name"> for the attribute name put in the name of the attribute that you would like referenced. For DB_PART_DESC you would type in this <WRef0*0@DB_PART_DESC>.

    NX draft body

    You could create a UDF. See attached file. Inputs needed for the UDF are 2 datum csys’s one for the sketch/extrude direction and one for split plane/Draft direction. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=d846dfe5-069f-4428-9408-d82d2f647b68&file=Hole_With_Draft.prt

    VB.NET To create part attributes

    I did what you are looking for with the “attributePropertiesBuilder” function. I am very new at programing, so there is probably a better way to do this. The sample code below takes the DB_Part_Name and brakes it down into separate attributes. 'Created By Jeremy Shooks 'Create attributes...

    Reliable format for drawing exchange between different CAD systems?

    Catia will import and export CGM file just fine. You could also insert a .jpg or .tiff file into the drawing. The tiff/jpg has a bug when you export the drawing you sometimes get a double image in the area of the tiff/jpg.

    &quot;Export as STEP214 -&gt; Select Objects -&gt; Select All&quot; doesnt give me all the component

    ChuckRi, A trick to get the names to show up into Catia is to turn off time stamp in the part navigator and rename the solid body’s. See the attached picture. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=33e2d3dd-4f86-46e6-8427-c3d7930ff486&file=NXvsCatia.png
