Draft angle
Draft angle
(OP)
Is there a way to check draft angle on a model in a global way? I remember a function in Catia V4 where you could define a vector, select all faces and the program displayed the draft in colors depending on what you specify. Is there something similar for NX?

If you have a modeling license you can run the slope analysis, and I find it is a bit more accurate as well (at least it was in older versions).

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

And yes, NX 5.0 does have the 'Command Finder' function.

Where can I find the command finder function by the way?
Thanks.

BTW, under Customize I added a keyboard accelerator, in my case the letter 'Q', so as to make it even easier to launch.
