I can confirm that NX Ideas 6.1 does run fine on Win7, with no install issues. We have several seats here, no problems.

Hi Marilyn, I'm sure NX is a very capable system in a lot of areas, but on one specific point - can it work with a multi-level structured history tree, like dar654 showed in his Oct 17 post? Is it possible to extract a node to create a new part, with the history intact? Last time I looked, it...
Just seen this thread - I'm with dar654 on this one.
I've been using 3D cad for 25 years now, and Ideas for the last 17 years, since MS3. We also have Solidworks here, so I have first-hand knowledge of the benefits that Ideas can bring to my design work. I don't do any FEA, almost all my design...
I agree with an earlier comment by whagen1974 that Ideas handles large complex parts much better than SW.
I think one of the main reasons for this is the linear nature (1-dimensional) of the SW feature tree (history). As soon as this gets to more than 100 or so steps, it becomes very difficult...
Just seen some software field bulletins from Siemens-PLM relating to NX Ideas 6 running on Windows, HP and Sun platforms, so its definitely on its way.
I for one have no intention of considering moving away from Ideas at least until they stop developing it!!
