    Load custom toolbar when NX5 starts

    I've searched on this for hours, but have not been able to find the right answer. I created my own toolbar file with a text editor that utilizes journals. I can load it and it works fine, however I have to re-load the toolbar everytime I start UG. I have checked my user.mtx file and it is...

    NX5 Size of WCS, drafting dimension snap points

    John, That fixed it! Thank you so much! I can usually learn to deal with a lot of things, but that was driving me crazy! Actually I'm on WinXP on a machine that was built for Win 7, but we are supposed to be moving to Win 7 in August so I will keep this in mind. Again, thank you!

    NX5 Size of WCS, drafting dimension snap points

    I was given a new computer and for some reason all my preferences were not carried over, so therefore I've been spending much of my morning setting things back up the way I prefer them. I'm on NX5. I've noticed the size of my WCS, the snap points that come up for putting dimensions on in...

    Sketch dimensions

    Yes, that worked! I never checked to see if anything was blanked within the sketch. I knew it had to be something simple. Thanks!

    Sketch dimensions

    Okay, I must be missing something obvious here. I go to edit my sketch and all the dimensions i put on it are not showing up. If I choose "edit parameters" from the part nav while out of the sketch, I see all my dims as expressions so I know they are there. I just can't see them when i go...

    Drafting dimensions rounding up/down

    Does anyone know how to change a dimension from rounding up or down? Example: Actual dim 1.25 Rounded dim 1.2 (rounded down) Rounded dim 1.3 (rounded up) Different drawings round different ways and I have never been able to figure out how to switch it. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Unite and subtract reversed?!

    I was given a model in STEP format and had to remove a couple features to update an assembly. I created a couple blocks for what I wanted to remove, I go to subtract them, and they get added to the model! I do this 2 more times just to make sure. I re-translated the file, brought it back in...

    Unigraphics NX3 CRASHING!!!!

    Yeah, I hear that NX4 is supposed to correct a lot of problems that NX3 is having. We recieved our copy about a month and a half ago or so. Unfortunately, we can't move onto it until GM does which will probably be at least another year if not more.

    Unigraphics NX3 CRASHING!!!!

    I just talked to our main support person and he said that with UNIX systems, there are no settings for the graphics card, it just is what it is. If anyone knows any different or again experiencing the same problems, let me know. I am trying very hard to get to the root cause of this.

    Unigraphics NX3 CRASHING!!!!

    We are using hp workstation c8000's. We had our support company install the latest of everthing. I'm not sure how to check the graphics card. I didn't think that a graphics card could crash the software, then again I'm learning a lot of this stuff as I go.

    Unigraphics NX3 CRASHING!!!!

    This is the version: 3.0.2.3 This has been a problem ever since we got it which was around 2 months ago. I don't think it happened the first week, but since that, it tends to go in spikes.

    Unigraphics NX3 CRASHING!!!!

    I am having a mjor problem with nx3 constantly crashing. And when I say crashing, I mean being completely blown out of the program. With a little research, I know its not specific parts, specific functions, specific hardware (we have plenty of space and speed), and even specific users. We are...
