Check the model template file. I'm not sure if "treat degree 1 Spline as polyline" is a part setting, or not. If it is, you'll need to change it in the template file (aka start part, aka seed file) -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

You should be able to check "Manual Input", and type in whatever thread dimensions you need. -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

Right click on "constraints" in the assembly navigator, and toggle ON "display constraints in the graphic window". Now you should be able to select them, and figure out what they apply to. -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

You can edit the constraints to make the arrangement specific. That way, when you toggle between "open" and "closed", the constraints will turn on/off as needed. -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

Make sure you have read/write to the folder it resides in as well. I've had issues in the past with that. -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

That's why I don't like modeling in "rigged" space. When I have to do it, if I can't wave link the mating data into my file, I usually go with your option 2. That way I can move the datum planes, as needed. If something changes, that requires an angle change that wasn't accounted for, you can...

Thanks @looslib I wasn't 100% sure how much transferred over to the Machinery Library @johnrbaker , thanks -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

@johnrbaker I'm looking for a copy of the old "fasteners_english.zip" that John Baker created, prior to the current Siemens Machinery Libraries. I found a copy of the "fasteners_metric.zip" that I stashed away, but not the english. Anyone have a copy they would share? -Dave NX 12...

This was useful for finding invisible objects on layers, but it doesn't seem to work in NX12 now. Maybe someone can update it? -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=fd84fe6d-e77c-4bc5-b56f-2c8240b9d663&file=NX9LayerToolsTues21Oct2014.zip

Thanks! -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

Any one know what this symbol is? It seems like I've seen it before, but not in recent time. It seemss like it might be a surface finish, or something? If you recognize it, do you know what spec its from? -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

Could be a font issue, have you tried using a different one for the parts list? -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

If you use Edit, and not Edit With Rollback, does it behave the way you want? I never used Direct Sketch, and found it confused new users with two sketch tools. -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

I use the LicenseStatus tool. https://charleswb.github.io/LicenseStatus/ -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11

Remove the extra .pax files from the Templates folder, or Templates\startup folder. Depending on which method you are using. I still get the DMU tab, it appears to be hard coded, at least in NX12. -Dave NX 12, Windchill 11
