    Sketch Dimensioning

    I have made some sort of change in sketch settings to get these red arrows when invoking Rapid Dimension (see graphic). What do they mean, and how do I turn them off? Thanks ahead of time. +++++++++++++++++++++ NX...

    Re-Attach Weld Notes

    Any secrets to re-attaching weld notes that lose associativity with the part it originally "touched"? It is greyed, and when I try to change the associated part, it remains greyed. I get tired of adding symbols over again. I have tried adding a 2nd leader, then deleting the original leader, but...

    Threaded Holes Callout

    Thanks Jerry. See results attached. +++++++++++++++++++++ NX 11.0.2.7https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=06afd523-211e-4595-beec-357f92e6c6b7&file=Fixed1.png

    Threaded Holes Callout

    Can someone assist in cleaning up this tapped hole call out. As you can see, the placement of the Appended Text is less than desirable. The M8X1.25 is a feature call out, of course. +++++++++++++++++++++ NX...

    Hidden Lines Missing Threaded Hole

    Hidden Lines Missing Threaded Hole

    See attached. Hidden lines show in Model for tapped holes, but not in drafting. +++++++++++++++++++++ NX 11.0.2.7https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=34d66dc0-53aa-4ac9-88d1-072b69dafa13&file=2018-11-15_16_58_57-NX_11.0_Native_-_Modeling_-_[J733857.prt_(Modified)_].png

    Identifying Different Classes of Surfaces

    Perfect. I experimented and found that defining face colors on the model, then making the isometric views fully shaded worked best. This worked really well. Thanks! +++++++++++++++++++++ NX 11.0.2.7

    Identifying Different Classes of Surfaces

    Ideas on how to shade various surfaces (or otherwise identify)in isometric views (see graphic)? This shading is then noted on the drawing as referencing a particular class of surface. +++++++++++++++++++++ NX...

    On this day in history...

    CADKEY 1984 - 2D. First group to put the M&M/Marrs candy logo in CAD. Was doing board drafting, but was allowed to tinker with this new CAD thing on your own dime. If you got proficient enough, you could move to that full time. Did Skittles Phase III expansion and designed the drum to stamp the...

    Dimensioning to theoretical sharps and hole center symbols

    Why is it so difficult sometimes to dimension to theoretical sharps and holes center with center symbols? Sometimes it works well, and others not. Is there a sequence required. On current drawing, theoretical sharp is not selectable at all, as a first extension nor second extension...
