    Dimensions in Sketches

    Hi Tim, that is exactly the answer I was looking for, felt like I was grasping at thin air there for a bit. Thanks a lot for posting that! Great to know. I've never thought it as a hindrance and my mind just works the way NX does now so very interesting to hear comparisons from the other...

    Dimensions in Sketches

    Thanks for the replies all! Your totally right about individual preferences, just how it goes even under the same company roof. Understanding that, what my confusion was alluding to was loki3000's statement that it cannot be done. When in reality it can, although the function is not the same...

    Dimensions in Sketches

    Right, I don't see why you cannot dimension to the centerline instead above. screw shaft would be 1.25 and top corner of head would be 3.5. I'm confused why people think it's not possible or easy to do this. Felix K. Holloway - Designer - NX 9 & 11 Native

    Dimensions in Sketches

    I must be totally missing something. You can dimension any line pretty much any way you want in NX... I revolve sketches about their reference axis all the time and it is a breeze. Maybe we are not on the same page. Felix K. Holloway - Designer - NX 9 & 11 Native

    Disable popup menu after selection click

    I have not checked NX10, can you send a screenshot of the window when you MB3->Customize->Shortcuts tab? Felix K. Holloway - Designer - NX 9 & 11 Native

    Trim Radius changes arc into spline

    OK. I think I figured it out. This only happens when the center point of the circle is located on a CSYS origin point. If the circle is created about a regular point or an arbitrary location it does not occur. I tried several configurations and every time the circle is centered on a CSYS it...

    Trim Radius changes arc into spline

    I'm not sure exactly, that seems odd. Just curious, why do you need to do that. Also why are you not doing it in a sketch. If you are extruding this shape, you do not need to trim the curves and you can just select the curves you want. Leaving the full circles intact is a better reference-driven...

    Trim Radius changes arc into spline

    Is this in a sketch or with basic curves? Also what curves are you trimming, I cannot tell from your image file. Felix K. Holloway - Designer - NX 9 & 11

    Disable popup menu after selection click

    Thanks Cowski, had no idea there was that much angst about it. It appears the devs have corrected this in NX 11, there is now an option to disable popups in the customize->shortcuts tab. Life is better now... Felix K. Holloway - Designer - NX 9 & 11

    studio spline NOT constrained to a plane. NX9

    Nice Cowski, it's an interesting thing that you have to move the view or CSYS to your desired plane after each click if you want 3D. I wasn't aware of that and have been using other functions to make curves 3D. Thanks- Now I'm curious if using this method provides better functionality that...

    studio spline NOT constrained to a plane. NX9

    Hard to tell from your description, but Bridge Curve or Fit Curve should do what you want. Bridge Curve easily allows you to keep tangency to the connecting curve(s), and fit curve allows you to make a 3D curve through X number of points anywhere in modeling space. Bridge curve can also be...

    Dimensions in Sketches

    loki3000, The dimensional tool in sketch for circles and arcs (radius and diameter) is combined into one function. "Radial Dimension". Using this function on a circle, you just change the option to "Diametral" instead of "Radial". Why have two functions when you can do it all with one...
