Experienced the same right after moving to Win 7 on a new Dell T3600. I dumped the Aero interface and went back to the old XP style and that seemed like it helped alot.

Write a mapkey to automatically add all the new parameters you need now in your old parts. You'll have to call each on up into session but it's a quick way to enter the parameters.

Try sketching in 3D space so you can select the datum plane easier.
It also appears there is a selection filter for Datums as well.

I'm looking to see what others are doing w/r/t creating work instructions (visual, textual, or both) for a fast takt time manufacturing process.
In the area I support our takt times run anywhere from about 9 minutes to 12 minutes. More than likely we are running three or four workbenches and...
"The centroid of a model is what it is. It's 'derived' NOT 'defined'"
I understand that. The standalone part I'm using in my assembly is just a simplified outer moldline of a complicated assembly I happen to know the mass properties of.
I want this simplified part to have the same weight...
John,
I'm aware of how to figure the CoG of the part. What I want to do is place a CoG at a specific location in a part.

Searching brought back nothing so a question is in order.
I have a part which mimics the outer moldline of an multi-piece assembly. I know the weight and the center of gravity of this assembly. I want to put that information into the moldline standalone part. I can figure out what the...
pencilgeek,
I had thought it might come down to that hoping i would get full control of it. I'll have to look back at my modeling books to figure out how to create that feature.
thanks...

Yes, detailed threads. I'm going to make a plastic rapid prototype model eventually and these threads are large enough to get good detail in the prototype.
I think I can get the 'run-out' at each end I've been using a datum plane spaced off one pitch length from my actual part as the starting...
Suppose it would help of the image got linked.

John,
Image below.
Part OD: 4.50"
Part width: .50"
Internal thd: 3.5-12 UN
There are other features to add but they are really dependent upon the location of the thread start. I'd like it to start at the 6 o'clock position but at this point in the part construction it doesn't really...
Using the Insert/Design Feature/Threads, is it possible to control the starting point of where the thread cuts into a part?
I wasn't successful using the Extend Thru Start option since the start of my thread didn't cut thru the end of the part. I ended up creating a datum plane offset from...
cowski,
That is the method I use also. However, I can get the image to disappear in the component preview window as well just by zooming in and out.

I have been dealing the same issue for the last two NX versions now. Mine occurs when assembling components. If I drop a component in an assembly and then zoom up so I can select constraint surfaces the component in question will evenually go away as it is 'sliced' away while zooming in. I...
dgallup,
Agree, revolved cut would not care and sometimes it's the way to go. OP is using the Hole Tool however. It probably cares as it always did in the past. I've not been on Pro/E since WF 1 however. My suggestion was based upon past experience.
