Thanks John
That was it.
Being a full time Catia V5 user and part time NX, I keep forgeting that the order ALL things are created in NX matters.
Have a star.

Hi John
I am using NX3 (customer requirement)
The point I am using is an intersection between a datum plane and curve. I have also tried projecting the point into the sketch to no avail.

Hi All
I am trying to constrain a line to a point in sketcher with no success.
I can pick the line but it will not let me select the point.
Can someone please explain how to do it.

Hi Eric
Thanks for your reply.
I have managed to start in Admin mode, however the 'browse' button is still grayed out.
Is there something else I need to be doing?

Hi All
I want to add some custom motifs/images to the V5 default fill patterns library.
I assume I need to start up in admin mode?
(The 'browse' button is grayed out in the edit pattern dialog box)

Hi Group
Has anyone else had the issue of generated balloons moving around when the view is updated?
I have a view with balloons generated by the Product.
After inserting them I moved them around to suit my requirements.
When I reopen the CATDrawing and it requires updating, some (not all)...
I am not angry ....just amused that it doesnt support something so basic.
I use NX and V4 and there is no doubt that V5 is the best in so many ways above the other two.
No need to get so defensive, it was tongue in cheek.
Do you not agree that it is a feature that should be there?
All the best...

Hi Group
I have a drawing with two section views cut from another view.
The trouble I am having is I cannot work out which view they are cut through.

Any help would be appreciated

NX3 3.0.3.2
Hi Group
Can someone please explain how one creates a datum callout?
CATIA V5 has a dedicated icon which creates it in one step.
I know NX-3 has an equivalent function but how?
Thanks

Hey forfun.
I dont know about you but jackks reply really didnt help my understanding.

I still cant pick the difference between a solid with 'add' and the same solid using 'assemble'.
Sounds like double talk to me.
What is the physical difference, advantages, disadvantages of one against...
Hi Group
I have created two CATParts.
I published a body from CATPart1 and used it in CATPart2.
Problem is after performing SAVE AS on both parts to create CATPart3 and CATPart4, CATPart4 is still linked to CATPart1.
Is it possible to link CATPart4 to the published body in CATPart3?
