    Chamfer function in NX 10

    I am unable to create a true chamfer dimension in NX 10. Any tips? (see attached image) http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=0aa4a693-be3a-4834-9c12-6a2983012204&file=No_chamfer_image.pptx

    Sketch Dimensions stay in millimeters in NX 7.5

    I found the problem. When I created a new model the units were set to millimeters so I had to change it to inch. I feel kinda dumb. Should have known that one. Thanks for the help.

    Sketch Dimensions stay in millimeters in NX 7.5

    Sketch Dimensions stay in millimeters in NX 7.5 even thought I select inch. I went through all my settings and set them to inch. I must be missing one. Any suggestions.

    extract an edge curve that was made from a conic curve gives a spline rather than a conic curve

    In NX 7.5.5.4: When I extract an edge curve that was made from a conic curve or try to project it into a sketch it gives me a spline. I would like a conic curve. Any ideas or is it just the way it is. Can it be corrected in another version of NX.

    Helical coil Thread callouts on a drawing

    Initial post: Is there an ASME standard which says to use a dim of .190-32 in lieu of #10-32 for a helical insert. I think it got a little confusing. (The 10-32 helical insert is in an aluminum block). Dim on dwg .190-32 HELICAL COIL INSERT THD PER NASM33537 or #10-32 HELICAL COIL INSERT THD PER...

    Helical coil Thread callouts on a drawing

    This might be a 2 forum post, but mostly I wanted to know if there was an ASME standard that says it should be .190-32 vs #10-32. EWU: I like the #10(.190)-32 as it makes it perfectly clear as NX 7.5 dim shows up #10-32. Note on dwg #10(.190-32) HELICAL COIL INSERT THD PER NASM33537 .XX MIN FULL...

    Helical coil Thread callouts on a drawing

    In NX 7.5 I am trying to dimension a Helical coil thread. I get #10-32. I am told ASME standard says it should be .190-32, but I can't get that to happen Can anyone tell me if ASME does recommends not to use #10-32 thd and what standard that might be? Thanks in advance

    #10-32 screw in place of an M5

    Thats my way of thinking also. Thanks all for your comments.

    #10-32 screw in place of an M5

    We do use LOCTITE on every fastener.

    #10-32 screw in place of an M5

    I have a block that has an M5 thread in it. We don't carry M5 screw's so I was told to use a#10-32 screw which has a slightly smaller thread but will screw in but feels a little loose. This just feels wrong to me. Am I being overly paranoid or is this a bad idea?

    Getting a .190 hole in a part in NX7.5

    In NX7.5, I put an inch helical coil NF #10-32 hole in my part. I am trying to get a dimension to read .190-32 reason being I am told that ASME standards say not to use #10-32.I can't confirm that as I cannot find the standard that says that. Wwe also use a #10-32 UNF THD HOLE. It shows up on...
