    If I install NX 8.5 (64bit) on a Windows 7 (64 bit) machine that has excel (32 bit) what functionality will I lose with NX? Will I still be able to open and translate files? Will I only lose the ability to use excel INSIDE NX? I will be traveling and need to share my NX license on a laptop...

    customer is having problems with UG files...

    I have a customer that is using Bobcad V24 to program some 3d files I provided him in Unigraphics V8.0. He is having trouble programming the geometry because there are holes in some of the 3d surfaces once he imports it. I am providing step files. I just want to cover things on my end. Is there...

    Unable to use assembly constraints on components of a part

    After adding components to a part I am unable to use the assembly constraints to move them, although, I AM able to use "Move Component" to dynamically (or all other motion options) to transform them....EXCEPT the Transform --> by constraints is greyed out. Why would that be? NX 7.5/8.0/8.5/9.0

    showing a component/assembly in multiple positions

    Does anyone have any ideas on showing a component/assembly in multiple positions but only counting them once in the BOM. I am using reference sets to show the components/assembly in the different positions, but would like to only count them once in the BOM. NX 6.05.3/7.5.5/8.0

    Is there a way to set the "change displayed part options" when you go to...Windows -> More -> Options , to what I want and keep it there ? It will hold its setting during a session, but It goes back to the default when you start a new NX session...Thx NX 6.05.3/7.5.5/8.0
