    Converting a CGM file to PDF in NX4

If you can't import it into a drawing, you may have to just import it into a model and set a view for it. download a PDF writer, and just print it to the PDF writer. We just had a big job where we had to convert a bunch of these. It can be tedious. I believe we...

    First time Solid Edge user, need help loading parts

    Thanks for all the help, I'll let you know how it turns out. One question though, how can I turn a part back to modifyable if it says that it's been released already (besides doing a save as)? Seems to be an error that I'm getting alot although not sure if it even really matters for what I'm...

    I'm not sure about that, but I had the same problem (even had problems printing PDF files out of UG... has very thick line fonts). Strangly one day out of the blue, it worked again. Even more strange is that now I have that same problem with plotting, and am forced to print. Thats UG for ya

    Setting counterbore depths

    use the Countbore and depth symbols in the annotation editor :) as an example (see the snapshot I took below). I may have something backwards as GD&T isnt exactly one of my strong points (more of a modeler than a drafter). http://www.picturetrunk.com/uploads/95082484d1.png
