some beginners questions
(OP)
Hi,
1) Could I move the end of section line farther away the view? It wasn`t problem in Inventor, but I don`t know how to do it in NX. (attached picture 01)

2) Is it possible to delete a line from drawing?
3) How to align these dimension? Each of them wants to be in the middle of its arrow line. Or how to swich off its snapping?

4) In modelling: Does exist some function to substructing body by swept? I can use for example swept sheet, then trim body, then trim sheet, but it is quite strange. ))

Thanks a lot

RE: some beginners questions
2) 2 ways, first RM click on a view, choose View Dependent Edit, in the Add Edits choose the first option (Erase Objects) click the lines you want to delete, push OK.
3) Goto Preferences menu, Annotation, in this menu goto first tab - Dimensions, right beneath this tab is a pull down menu choose Automatic Placement.
Or double click on the dimension (now you see the Edit Dimension toolbar), then RM click on that same dimension, there is a Placement tab, choose Automatic dimension here.
Or in the Edit Dimension toolbar choose Style, you get a new menu where you can choose Automatic Placement.
4) As for this question, i think you need to create a solid instead of just one curve to creat this substract with a swept (but i'm not 100% sure)

RE: some beginners questions
1),2) works .. thanks
3) I have tried the each combination of those three buttons. But when I moved with the lettering around the middle of arrow line, it ever jumped exactly to the middle.
So when I would like to have these lettering aligned, I have to put them near one of arrows.

4) I can create the solid body by function swept, but there isn`t the choice of boolean type - subtract.
RE: some beginners questions
Maybey you are struggling with the snap from one dimension to another? You can switch off this behaviour by holding down the ALT key when you are moving a dimension, give it a try.
4) No there is no build in Boolean operation like Substract in the Swept menu.
Best regards,
Michaël.

4) Does anybody know some alternative function?

I didn`t try Sweep along guide. It works. There is a subtract choice..
But Swept has better options as regards a section orientation.
So I create a sheet and trim a body. But then I don`t know how to get rid of the sheet.
That`s the reason why I trimmed the sheet. Anyway the sheet still stay on the new body section..

Format -> Reference Sets...
...and selecting the 'Model' Reference Set in the list and deseletcing the Sheet Body(s) which will remove them from the Reference Set and thus from the Drawing as well.

RE: some beginners questions
So, for the record the best practice is: use the master model approach and use reference sets for the geometry you want in the assembly and/or drawing.
RE: some beginners questions
It can be done everything. Just to know how =))
RE: some beginners questions
This is my first post.
How to make the radial menu in NX 7.5? shift+ctrl+LPM; shift+ctrl+SPM i shift+ctrl+PMP I known but I'm interesting about view like in Solid Edge ST3.
Thanks
RE: some beginners questions
5) How to fix surface finish symbol to a line in drawing. It works only when there is a leader otherwise the symbol stays on the same place after moving a view.
I tried to set associativity to the view, but the symbol became smaller..?
Thanks
