    export bodies into individual files

    rebel, if you artificially create a DESC attribute in the Part Nav with Timestamp Order = OFF you may be able to have your generated component to read that name. I searched for your threads as you had responded to one of mine earlier about Model Size. I did not get an email notification of...

    lost threads

    OK fellow electron pushers, I know there are several threads dealing w/ Excel, Excel add-ons and "POINT" function. I have even commented on them in the past and used them. The ability is wonderful. Now I can't find the specific ones using search. There is an add-on to native Excel from Siemens...

    Is there a step-by-step process for creating a break out section view?

    The most annoying problem is that there is a command requirement that does not appear. After you pick the view, create the boundary et al. There is no clue that you have to pick anything else. The icon to select the sectioned component never highlights.

    Choose Edit? Annotation? Annotation Object Associativity

    Copied from the help files included in NX6. No such selection available. I have a "disassociated leader" on an ID symbol, what is the trick to reassociate it? Thanks

    Sir! I have no idea about 7.anything. But HOW did you do that in 5? That is a trick a lot of people wished they knew!

    NX6 self hidden feature

    I have searched several different ways to find a term that I believe is correct. When using some Booleans, sheet metal and a lot of sketch based operators. The creating object disappears. Is the correct term for that "consumed"? Thanks Guys

    Thank you all for the clarification. I may be an old fart, but I seem to be able to remember the important things!

    Argument raging at work

    OH. I had been informed quite a while ago that links were the proper technique both for file size and for load-up/refresh times. Thanks

    Argument raging at work

    How can it be proven that using component links are easier on model size versus solid only usage? NX 6 but that hopefully is not relevant.

    NX6 view creation

    I just stumbled on a gotcha. Whilst creating a section view, the "default" rerouted itself to Create Section Line Without Section View. I am kind of curious from any users, why would you want a non-view?

    How do I select a screen position not on the XY plane?

    A-CAD, I see your question and John's answer. Having taught before I have found the true question may not be what is being asked. What are you wanting to do with an off plane screen pick?

    Hide chamfer lines in drafting

    Question: are the chamfers required to be scene? May a gerneral note would make your's and NX's life a lot easier.
