    Gear Tooth Geometry in NX

    I'm trying to use this too and running into the "License for NX china package isn't available" error (using a Mach 2 licence in NX 8.5). Can anyone give us more of a nudge in the right direction? Thanks! JHTH NX 7.5.5 + TC 8.3.2.2

    Suppressing threaded holes

    Creating a pattern of points in your sketch and then selecting all sketch points in your hole dialog might get you where you need to go? JHTH NX 7.5.5 + TC 8.3.2.2

    3D centreline in Revolved Section View?

    Thanks, everyone. I'm dealing with an "I'm sure I did this in UG v18.0" type situation so I just wanted to check that it had never been implemented, as is suggested in the post I referred to earlier. Cheers, Jon JHTH NX 7.5.5 + TC 8.3.2.2

    3D centreline in Revolved Section View?

    Is anyone else able to add 3D centrelines to revolved section views and if so, what am I missing, as I can't convince NX to do it? I've looked around and there's a post from 5 years ago (thread561-185631) - a list of the top 10 ER's for each module. This behaviour was requested (Drafting, point...

    Multi part deformable cable

    I tried doing a hydraulic hose + fittings (basically the same as your example by the sound of it) and I got it to work by creating the first connector, the hose and the second connector as separate bodies (by setting the Boolean option between them to None) in the same part file and then making...

    Snapping to closest iso view when placing a view in drafting

    You can have the 'nearest iso view' in 1 button press - set a system environment variable UGII_FKEY_DYNAMICS with the value of 1 and this turns F1, F2, F3 and F4 into Pan, Zoom, 3D Rotate and 'Snap to nearest ortho or iso view'. Using F4 with the Orient View button in the Base View command is...

    3d Layer specification transferring to 2d representation

    If the customer defaults are being 'ignored', open up your drawing template and try Preferences > Annotation > Load All Defaults and Preferences > View > Load All Defaults, then save and close. When you create a new drawing, your defaults will hopefully be applied (you can also do the same on...

    can you better control sheet number attributes

    Off the top of my head (without having tested it and all the usual disclaimers), if you want sheet 3 to show 'sheet 1 of 6' and sheet 4 to show 'sheet 2 of 6', how about setting an expression to MY_SHEET_NUMBER = <W@$SH_SHEET_NUMBER>-2 and MY_TOTAL_SHEETS = <W@$SH_NUMBER_OF_SHEETS>-2 and put...

    Is it possible to change middle + right button ?

    Option 3 or 4 - buy a Space Explorer. Seriously, you'll never go back! JHTH NX 7.5.5 + TC 8.3.2.2

    NX8 Recommended system requirements

    Oh and make sure the hardware you buy is on Siemens' approved list, as you'll get better support if you do have any problems. http://support.ugs.com/online_library/certification/ (seems to be offline at the moment for some reason...) JHTH NX 7.5.5 + TC 8.3.2.2

    NX8 Recommended system requirements

    For a given budget, you're better off with a processor with 2-4 faster cores than lots of slower ones, as NX doesn't multi-thread many of its processes. 6GB RAM and a 1GB graphics card are recommended (the ATI V5800 and V7800 are good value, imho). These numbers would vary up or down depending...

    Only 50% CPU load under rendering

    Have you got the system variable UGII_SMP_ENABLE set to 1? If rendering is capable of multi-threading (and I don't know if it is nor not), you'll need this set or NX won't multi-thread anything. JHTH NX 7.5.5 + TC 8.3.2.2
