Hello all! I'm having an issue in NX9 where I can't position a Datum symbol directly under the extension line, but only in some NX parts files. NX will only let me add them with a stub, where it sits offset to the left/right.
I've tried inheriting the annotation settings from a known good...
Hello! I have an unusual request from a customer of mine, at least compared to most of the modeling that I do, but essentially what I'm looking for is a way to bend/morph/deform a parametric model (if possible)... similar to how the modifiers work in 3DsMAX for anyone familiar with it.
To be...
What is the common hardware bottleneck when using large/complex models in UG? I'm trying to put together a 'test' machine at my company for future workstation upgrades. Most of our computers are running a 2.67Ghz Intel Xeon with 16GB of ram and a FirePRO V7800 (2GB). For the most part, the...
So our office recently went to NX8.0 at our customers request. Nobody in the office, however, can seem to permanently change the selection settings for it. Everytime UG is closed, it resets back to the default.
So for example, I prefer to setup my selection rule to "Inside/Crossing" and I also...
So I'm not sure anyone here could really do much to help, but figured that maybe someone has been through this and figured out any conflicts that causes NX to panic and crash to desktop.
I just got a new machine for work around 6 months ago and at first, everything was fine. Then about a month...
Long story short, somehow a view on a drawing isn't displaying the proper X,Y coordinates for a set of features. We've double and triple checked everything and can't seem to figure out why (we tried orienting the view to a plane, rotating the view, etc). We've even added new views and the...
Been using 7.5 for the past few months and for the most part, I've gotten used it to. Our office still uses a lot of legacy functions but we're slowing exploring some of the newer features and some are actually really nice.
One thing that bugs me though, and I'm not sure if it's been removed or...
So I'm doing a study for a customer. I'm trying to overlay two similar parts/assemblies ontop of one another to see what kind of differences exist between them.
I assembled them on top of one another and switched to the drafting mode to check the cross section's I'd setup but the 'new' model...
Does anyone know if it's possible to write a script, or if UG nativly supports doing batch file exports?
We've been real busy with work from our customers lately, juggling 3-5 projects between only a few people and our customers will sometimes ask us to send them a bunch of PDF files for a...
Hello, a few months ago we finally upgraded to windows 7 workstations at our office. For the most part, it was a smooth transition, but we seem to be having a problem that never used to be an issue on our Windows XP machines.
If I need to revise a drawing, for example, and add a symbol to a...
I'm looking for a way of controling an expression IF a certain condidtion is met. If not, then it defaults back to "X" number. So for example:
If P1 is > 0.05mm, then P2=35mm. If P1 is < 0.05mm, then P2=5mm.
Is this possible in NX5? I'm building an assembly that depends on 2 or 3 parts all...
So I'm not sure what happened, but in the past week sometime my default changed from "no selection" to "solid body", but only for "analysis>measure distance". We use the "measure distance" command quite a bit to check wall thicknesses of castings among other things.
I looked through the...
Hello, I was curious to see if this was possible. My team and I are constantly having to turn it off with each newly loaded part which I tend to hear a lot of complaints about. If I save it, close the part and then reopen... the plane translucency comes right back.
How can I disable this...
Hello, I was curious to see if there is a way to setup pre-selection to the way it was in NX3 and below. Not necessarily for the icons, but for the mouse clicks.
For instance, in NX3 and prior... pressing the first mouse button cycled through the features and pressing the middle mouse button...
Hello, we just switched over to NX5 from NX3 and still getting adjusted to the changes in the interface. With that said, I was curious to see if there was an easy way to save and load a configuration for the display properties of an existing part.
For example, I'd like to load a part and have...
Is it possible to turn it off in NX3? We're making a crude assembly animation to send to a customer, but unfortunitly the upper level part that's controlling the animation needs to be selected to make this work.
I've found a fairly easy work around for it by turning off face highlighting...
Hello, for a while we were using dual monitors and just went back to using one. The only issue I've had so far is that the information window in UG is displaying off screen. To correct this, in most cases, you only need to hit "Alt" then use the arrow keys to pick "move" and move it where ever...
Hello, I was wondering if it's possible to change the basic drawing properties for a bunch of pre-existing drawings. One of our customers has a lot of work done at another location and when we get sent back the parts that were made there, 9 times out of 10 the drawings (and models) are no where...
Hello, a customer is asking us if we can simplify a design we're currently working on for them. We're designing 2 scroll-like objects with extremely tight tolerances (to compress gas) using a custom grip program that generates the appropriate curves to create said surfaces.
They're asking us if...
