    best fit plane through multiple surfaces (nx 11)

    it is also needed in early development where you have styling surface (which is never flat) and need to develop a package for electronics (almost always flat) behind it. It's just frustrating that a function which was available in a CAD system that has been obsolete for 20 years does not seem...

    best fit plane through multiple surfaces (nx 11)

    best fit plane through multiple surfaces (nx 11)

    It is customer surface data so not really. I have 3 surfaces (styled switch buttons) all of which are slightly different from each other. I need to generate a bet fit plane in order to minimize over all package space among other things. (with a little more work than what seems necessary) I can...

    Tabular Note Format Question

    I am using NX 9 (til the end of the month) but I don't think that will make much of a difference The best option I have found so far is the <Br> control character But that has to be entered manually for each line and doesn't allow for auto wrapping.

    Exporting Tabulat notes to Excel and back

    To a different one. Basically I'm trying to develop a template file for a chart that can be Distributed to engineering to be filled out in excel and then sent back and imported into our drawings. We often get cross format errors when we import from a native excel file I was hoping originating...
