Coordinate system

Coordinate system

Coordinate system

(OP)
Just wondering if anybody knows how to restore the XC,YC, and ZC for my Csys and Triad?

RE: Coordinate system

What version of NX?
And what exactly do you mean by "restore" them? Have they changed appearance or disappeared altogether?

For recent versions of NX:
You can turn the WCS on and off by going to: Format -> WCS -> Display (W is the default hotkey).
You can turn the triad on and off by going to: Preferences -> Visualization -> View/Screen -> Part Settings -> show view triad.

I'm on NX8.5, both the CSYS and Triad are on and the blue, green, and red arrows are visible, but there aren't any call-out to tell you what vector you are in.

RE: Coordinate system

Try going to...

Preferences -> Visualization -> Color/Font

...and in the section titled 'Session Settings', make sure that the 'Font' option is set to something appropriate, like 'Arial' or 'Arial Unicode MS'.
