Wireframe text in NX6
Wireframe text in NX6
(OP)
Experienced NX I-Deas user new to UGNX6 would like to know if anyone has been able to create single line wireframe fonts in NX. The text command always makes the text fat. I just want single line text to be able to scribe this on a steel plate.

Now if you really need single line text as geometry, that can be done by creating your note, exporting it as a CGM file and then importing it back into NX and curves. Perhaps a bit crude, but something that has worked for many people over the years.

It is just that in I-Deas the wireframe text command is so simple. Works just like the text command in NX just that you can have simple line text as well as fat double line text.
I will take a look at the CGM option.

If you do want "Curves" that are stick figures then use Modern Font. See the atached file.

That's exactly what I was looking for, even GTAC did not know how or which font to use. I thought I went thru each of the fonts but I guess I missed this one.
Thanks
