    parts list help, NX7.5 - TC 8

    I inserted a parts list and then later I added more parts to my assembly and modified a few parts. Now the new parts show up in the parts list in a different color (darker) with no item number assigned and they are duplicates from existing parts (changed the quantity). Example, I have a part...

    NX6 thumbnails and previews

    I am using NX6 on 64bit windows OS. How do I enable previews of thumbnails? I don't see them in windows explorer or when I do a file/open in the preview window. In the customer defaults previews are enabled by default. I noticed that when I click on the properties of a part that the preview...

    associative lines and arrangements

    I want to be able to draw an associative line between two parts in an assembly and when the parts move through-out the arrangements the associative line updates accordingly.

    hidden lines in components

    Is there a way to make certain components hidden lines invisable in a drawing view, sort of like making components not hatch in a section view. I want to see the hidden lines in a view but not the hidden lines in some of the components. I also don't want to do a view dependent edit on these and...

    2005 Animator

    exploded blocks in a drawing

    I recently expoded a block in my drawing of a delta symbol. Now the symbol is there and I can not select it to move it or remove it from the drawing. No matter what I try, I can not get rid of it. Did it become sketch entities? It also shows up on the drawing when I print... Bob

    2003 sp1 printing problem

    Noticed that when printing cylindrical, curved or angled objects that lines are edgey, similar to when lower graphic performance settings are used. Everything else looks fine..Anyone else have this problem?.. Was not like this with 2001plus and I have not changed anything except SW.. Bob
