    Make sheetmetal bend notes aligned to bend lines

    I was having similar trouble finding a way to set bendline notes to Aligned by default as well. I could find it in Drafting Preferences after creating a drawing, changing it in the preferences then placing a view or by using a template drawing file that i had changed the Drafting Preferences...

    Bysoft 6

    Yes it is possible. Look for the "bysoft6.ini" (usually in "c:\Windows" on Windows 7) and customise all of the directory paths to suit your network paths/locations. Then do this on each computer that has Bysoft6 clients installed on them and they should all "look" for the database and use it.

    Restoring prt file preview image in an Explorer window.

    I think i fixed this issue a few weeks ago myself. I can't recall the exact thing i changed but i used FileTypesMan from http://www.nirsoft.net/ to tinker with / check the settings for the .prt extension. Whatever i changed fixed it so you may be able to do the same. I also fixed secondary...

    Create expression that inherits an attribute value

    @3dr, i noticed this as well. its deff forcing us to create two expressions to be able to use just one of them. Unless i'm doing something wrong... i tried to reference mass into an attribute and it always creates two entries to do this. Seems really strange, why not just one? seems like a...

    Bending a flat pattern surface

    taggger, I'm not sure if i'm missing something but its quite easy to end up with a sheet metal part that will make a pattern such as your example. You can't go from flat to bent for a cone to my knowledge but doing a cone and then getting a pattern is fine. Very easy. See attached example...

    NX11 - classical toolbar

    "1 click per icon compared to 1 click per icon" You forgot the inherent extra click to activate a different TAB. So it’s not one click for one click (i wish). Its 2 for ribbon and only 1 for "The Old Bad inefficient way". ;) "Well, selling copies of NX is good for everyone, isn't it?"...

    Load defaults with new part

    Also keep in mind i've found that if you use a template part, the file creation date and time stamps are of the template part. NOT at the time of creation the new part from said template. Really stuffs up the file modified date stamps in Part History etc I think this is a bug/fault. if you...

    NX11 - classical toolbar

    "but the ribbon interface is superior in a lot of ways " Do you have any evidence of such an assertion? I have yet to see any that presented. In fact, the only reason it was chosen was for marketing purposes and because "the others are doing it and we need to sell copies". Other then that...

    Features you wish NX had?

    I'd be pretty partial to a "frame generator" or "weldment" functionality. If its in NX, i can't find it! Its the one thing that NX severely lacks! As an avid user of both NX and SW... it is painful not being able to do such a common task in NX. Am i missing something? I was going to open a...

    The last "John Baker" show

    Contrats John! And i'd have to say... if you don't get a life long license of NX, to quote a wrap song, "the wolds gone craaaaaazy" ;)

    NX Sheet Metal Rolling

    Here is a couple of quick and nasty methods using sheet metal. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=0a933422-eaff-453a-b0e9-f310b27d315f&file=prt.ziphttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=0a933422-eaff-453a-b0e9-f310b27d315f&file=prt.zip

    NX10 Sheet Metal problem

    I just imported that file, used Convert to Sheetmetal, then added a "Flat Pattern" feature. Changed to the flat pattern model view it created. All worked fine in NX10. Your first model wont do this though, as it has none uniform thickness. The second model you attached seems to have uniform...

    NX10 Sheet Metal problem

    well if there is a draft... then it must vary. Don't you think? There is none uniform thickness... i do not know why you would need draft on an extruded shape that is meant to be aheet metal part. that just wont work... Well, unless you wish to lathe the part instead of roll it out of sheet...

    NX10 Sheet Metal problem

    Karlis, I had a bit of a quick look. It doesnt seem that your part is of uniform thickness. This might be the main deal-breaker. So i'd check that. If that still doesnt work, i'd look at how you modeled the part as the OD and ID seem to be NURBS surfaces and not normal faces which might make...
