    Moving a face

    Is it possible to move a face without the tangent rounded corners moving with it? I am working with the machined faces on a casting. I have always worked with extrusions to remove the stock but in this situation, it is difficult to do. I am on NX1899 Jerry J. UGV5-NX1899

    Can you please remind me what the setting is in NX that keeps the component the work part when moving up to the assembly? Now when going up to the assembly, the assembly becomes the work part. Jerry J. UGV5-NX1899

    O-Ring Standards

    Do O-Rings follow a particular standard that all manufactures follow, or does each manufacturer follow their own standard? I am primarily thinking of the size dimensions here. Jerry J. UGV5-NX1899

    Move spline points with Mechanical Routing

    I am adjusting the spline points on a hydraulic hose using mechanical routing. There are times when I move a knot point and the neighboring knot point moves with it, and other times when I move a knot point and the neighboring points don't move, and that is what I prefer. I know there is a...

    Assembly Constraints - Ball End

    Can anybody give suggestions for constraining the ball end (with thru hole) to the rod end? The thru hole in the ball needs to move in the spherical path of the ball it is part of. I am not concerned about the zinc-colored threaded part. Jerry J. UGV5-NX1899

    A balloon question

    Does anybody know if it is possible to create a balloon without the circular balloon shown ? I realize I can use a note, but I would like the leader without a stub and towards the center of the number. This is for a patent drawing, so numbering associativity is not an issue. Jerry J.
