UG questions

(OP)
Is there something I'm missing with the interface to allow insert mode like in Pro/E or Solidworks? In Pro/E I want to drag the red arrow up so when I add a feature it stays where I insert it. The work around which Is what I would teach is to add the feature at the end and reorder the feature to the appropriate location in the model tree.

I have a problem re-associating first part in assembly. I can simply rebuild the assembly but I want to fix the one I have. How can I redefine the first component of the assembly to reference the coordinate system instead of just placed in there twisted.

How do I show the dimensions in a drawing that I used to create the part? I know how to create new dimensions.

Is there a top down modeling methodology like in Pro/E 'external copy geometry' or in Solidworks 'insert part'

RE: UG questions

IF these questions are truly related to the use of UG/NX and not Ideas, then may I suggest that you post them in the Siemens: UG/NX Forum which can be found at:
