    NX 9.0 "The initial secondary number must only be a letter."

    I recently got a new laptop at work and my preferences have changed. When I try to change them back I keep getting the following error after clicking 'apply'. "The initial secondary number must only be a letter." Afterwards the setting changes back to default. I have access to change my customer...

    Holes are diamond shaped until I Update Display

    My company recently moved from NX8.5 to NX9. Now my holes are diamond or triangular and models all look like bad surface features with lots of gaps until I Update Display. Afterwards everything looks great again for a while then I'll notice at some point it has changed back to the crappy...

    customer default group.dpv file

    Found it. Just need to figure out where that variable is set. We have a tool that we use to open NX/TC that requires us to select which group we are a part of. I am a member of all locked and unlocked groups, but was looking to create another. Unfortunately I do not have write access to that...

    customer default group.dpv file

    What file calls the customer defaults files (i.e. group.dpv & site.dpv? I was looking through my log file and found the actual .dpv files, but I was wondering where they are called from. I am looking into creating another group user default file (group2.dpv).

    Assembly drawing help

    I know this topic has been reviewed several times, but I can not seem to figure out why it is not working for me. I can't seem to get the exploded views to work with a Master Model. Originally I created the exploded view in the assembly file, but from what I have read they have to be created in...

    can i remove username from .pdf export filename?

    When exporting a .pdf from NX8.5 the filename keeps getting appended with my username and an underscore (username_filename.pdf). Anybody have any idea where that is controlled?

    How do I exit the Active Sketch View

    Noob question here.. In an existing drawing, I right clicked on a view boundary and selected Active Sketch View. I made a quick sketch on the view and now I'm trying to get out of that. I would like to make another sketch on the drawing not associated with a view. I can change the active sketch...

    remove objects from reference sets

    Thanks everyone. This was a model that someone else did. It was the deselect button I was looking for. I knew there was a way to do it, but could not find it.

    remove objects from reference sets

    How do you remove selected objects from a reference set. I'm sure it is simple, but I can't seem to find it. It seems my "Model("PART")" ref. set has 79 items in it. I only want the model and I can't deselect the other objects.

    Save assem part in position

    Thanks bmar and Khim, you are exactly correct. We are normally given datums to work off of from the studio designers which we use to create the part data. But, occationally I start working on something before I have car space datums due to project time constraints. If you work in automotive you...
