Drafting: Center Mark size (how to set for a drawing)
Drafting: Center Mark size (how to set for a drawing)
(OP)
NX6.0.1.5 MP2
When creating a drawing with holes and Center Marks enabled, sometimes the Center Mark size is larger than desired. The size can be altered for an individual Center Mark by either double-clicking it, or right clicking it and Editing the Gap, Center Cross, and Extension. You can inherit the size settings from another Center Mark as well.
My question is: how would you resize ALL Center Marks in a drawing (and there might be a LOT, so manually doing them one by one is very undesirable)?
I've tried selecting multiple Center Marks, but the Edit option disappears from the Right-Click menu if you've selected more than one Center Mark.
Thanks.

RE: Drafting: Center Mark size (how to set for a drawing)
There is a way to automatically do ALL the holes in an existing view, but it involves editing/selecting a new Drafting Standard in Customer Defaults and then reopening your drawing in a new session and then with the Drafting Preferences set to using the current standard (the one you edited/selected in customer defaults) as opposed to what the standard was that was assigned to the drawing template, you can then, after deleting the old centerline symbols, use the Automatic Centerline symbol function.

RE: Drafting: Center Mark size (how to set for a drawing)
(In my previous post, I attached the drawing)
I am trying to apply vector force(unit force) at one end of the simulated 4-barlink mechanism. I used Revolute+Revolute+Universal and Ball joints at each end.
Grubler count is shwoing 0 and the dof also zero (with driver on one of the revolute joints).
Now when I apply unit vector force, when I run the for excel map the simulation is giving a torque of 0.9Lb-in where as the FBD free body diagram gives an end torque of 8.63Lb-in.
Pl guide.
Thanks

Probably not a great idea to be spamming other threads about your question, since you've already posted about it elsewhere (thread561-239103: UG Simulation_applying Vector Force), and people in that thread are trying to help you out...
RE: Drafting: Center Mark size (how to set for a drawing)
Thanks for the code. Can you explain how to get it up and running? I see the .dll, but I'm not familiar with how to use this type of extended functionality...
Thanks.

Nevermind, I got it...

This is great! How'd you make it?
