We show flat patterns on our fabrication sheets.
We manually change the .2 below to .0 to hide trailing zero's as we program and bend to even angle increments almost exclusively.
Is there a way to change this in customer defaults somewhere and make it a site standard?

An associate had a scenario where he had to deform a part in his assembly.
I helped him create the deformation definition and it is a very simple one (one of the tubes is definable).
The assembly contains several of the same parts deformed the same way in a linear pattern.
I instructed him to...
Upgraded to 1847 last weekend.
Some strange behavior here and there that we've had to deal with.
Here's one I haven't figured out yet:
When creating a model curve or point (assembly the work part), associativity on or off, if you reference a center of a hole on a part, that part becomes the...
We have a part family in TC. It was created by importing the master from Native then creating all of the family parts from the master file. This method avoided imported in assemblies that may have used rogue parts that appeared like part family parts but that were not created by the master...
What causes the error during replace component where the component is excluded from the replacement operation because the "Given matrix is not from required part."
This is not consistently repeatable so I have not called GTAC.
NX 9.0.1.3
Running 9.0.2.5 currently.
In NX8.5 the selections of components during creation of explosions in modeling worked relatively well. Other than the annoyance of it selecting the entire assembly at times; perhaps due to using the master model concept.
Something has changed in NX9. I have...
I need to clock every other instance of a circular as well as a linear pattern. The patterns are created using expressions and I am trying to make a template file so manual clocking is not an option. Controlling with a spreadsheet will only clock angularly about the pattern center (angular...
Can anyone explain why the curves and edit curves menu has been buried in the new drafting menus? We know a lot of thought went into the new menus so we wonder if there's a better way to do what we are doing (preferred method). So, where we use it the most is to create curves in an expanded...
I am driving a sketch using a perimeter constraint tied to an expression which is tied to an assocative perimeter measurement which is the result of another sketch which is also driven by expressions.
The goal is input expressions for measurements. The first sketch yields a visual model to...
Usually you do not see constraints with a master model the work part. We have a file worked on by an associate where a bunch of (mostly conflicting) constraints show up in the master model. They are all listed as inherited constraints if you hover over them. They cannot be deleted. They dont...
I have an assembly which uses one material stocked by the foot. The drawing default units is inches and most of the qty columns are per (normal qty of an item). I created in expression in this component part file (also in inches) linked to the sketch perimeter. I then have it converted to...
We do not have a "drawing" viewer for our NX drafting files (for non NX users) until our TC is implemented. I am against manually exporting pdf's because of revision control, discipline, time and effort, etc.
I fooled with a journal created by Cowski in this thread from NX5-6 2010...
We do a lot of sheet metal and therefor export geo's and dxf's sometimes a dozen times a day or so and there are a dozen of us.
It is a complete waste of time to think that 144 times a day someone has to browse to a new directory especially with the network latency problems with Windows 7...
Is there a way to display the file paths of components in the assembly navigator when running native?
We constantly move and rename parts and it is time consuming to keep track of.
NX 8.0.1.5
We make a "laser sheet" in assembly drafting as a programming guide. This is also used in the manufacturing environment.
We pull in the flat pattern view only from all of the components. The BOM table works but the autoballooning does not as no view show up to select when the BOM table is...
