Did some further testing last eve using a different Win10 machine.
Turns out there was something corrupt with the first one.
The second machine worked just fine.
The slow updates in Win11 were connected to an extracted body in the seed files, used for part listing dims.
Re worked that and all...
You can pay a one time fee to get your license server moved...
Prior to covid it was about 1K$
Your license server doesn't need to be connected to the internet to be on your local network.
It will still serve up licenses.
As long as it's not connected to the internet and your not placing any...
Was having some NX performance issues on Win 11 OS (Slow wave link updates)
Decided to take the data back to an older Win 10 machine and see if the issues ported over or not.
Turns out I can't even work with it on the Win 10 machine.
It loads but I'm getting a "signal 11" error. No solids...
I allowed Dell Support to update quite a few drivers etc...
Now I get this error in NX when ever I try and open a part... screen shot attached
Have always been guarded about updates that could cause mysterious issues.
Now that time has come!
I just reinstalled NX on a new system and the first drafting task I had was mixed units.
To be more specific, I'm drafting one part only, not an assembly.
The base part in mm, the drafting seed file is inch.
When you do this for the first time after an install, you're presented with a dialogue...
I have to change the colors of solids and sheets of child parts all the time.
In order to so, you have to set the following.
* A geometry filter before selecting
* Check the "Apply changes to owning part" box in the dialogue
If you forget either one, the result is only effective in the...
I may have bigger issues... using the UG Convert Part Utility is giving the same results.
No conversion. But it does say it was successful.

Thanks Cowski... didn't expect you or anyone else to be on here this week.
Made sure my environment variable "UGII_BASE_DIR" "C:\Program Files\Siemens\NX 11.0 - BASE" is correct
Checked information -> parts -> loaded parts before and after executing.
Same units, no change.
I downloaded this...
I downloaded this and it has all the appearances of doing it's job.
But in the end, the part is not converted... any ideas??

I've found that all my drafting seed files have switched to the "AmdtSymbols" font.
Which is chaos!
Even the UCS icon is using this font now in model space
Anyone else ever have something like this happen?
I've been using NX for 25 years... NEVER seen this one!
TIA for any feedback
Dave...
What you need to do is build a re-use lib for your washers to cover the range

_4
_5
_6
and so on

Thanks Cowski,
Let's give the journal a try, I'm still on v11.
It would be a nice tool to have in the box if it works in this version.
This was a tool assembly I imported from step and made limited changes to, it's mostly dumb bodies.
No constraints, some geometry links, no inter-part...
Thanks Jerry,
My "Part Find" dialogue doesn't have any of those tab options and seems to have limited functionality.
didn't get anywhere with it.
@ Cowski,
I did find a partially loaded "156" part when it is definitely not part of the design anymore.
We moved on from that part number and...
I get the following error...
"A File with the same base name already exists"
But it doesn't, not in the folder, not anywhere in the design.
Simply trying to save
156.prt (Current)
156__01.prt (Versioned)
This has happened before and be a real nuisance at times.
I suspect at some point the...
The Save As method in the attached thread is the best way I've found to keep things in sync.
But we always perform a save as on every part in the assembly, assigning a part number as the file name.
It's done at the end of the design phase, prior to publishing Bom's or drafting anything...
Below is a Typical KRX file for the Re-Use Library.
As you build your own library over the years sometimes you want to give it a face lift.
But when you change the folder structure, the parts already deployed into jobs cant find their parent part.
so you need to re-link them as you run across...
