Templates/Standards
(OP)
I am rather new to NX 6 and a bit frustrated. I'm having problems with the default drafting settings in NX. Is there any easy way to make the drafting settings resemble something like Y14. The line sizes etc are completely out of proportion. It wants to make huge center lines everywhere. There are "coordinate systems" and sketches strewn about. It doesn't seem to recognize its own threaded hole features.
In SolidWorks/Inventor these things just work out of the box.
Additionally how can i edit the default title blocks. The default ones are well... useless.

It seems there is only three lineweights thin, thick & ridiculously thick. You can easily make your visable lines thick by double-click on a view, visability tab.
Good luck

That said, I still prefer "Formal Training", and though I have found myself occasionally teaching the instructor a thing or two about the software, I always come back with a good foundation of the basics that were being taught.

Custom format blocks settings, you can find in customer defaults as well. At least the location it looks for the files.
I'm not sure any NX training goes over the customer defaults in this type of detail. But I have been wrong many times before.
