    NX 6.0 - Measure Bodies

    How do you program Instances into NX Template

    Stephlouv has mentioned he knows that Instances can be programmed into NX Template, but I need to know how this is done. Can someone elaborate? I have no idea where to begin because I am just using "Expressions" for the first time and do not know how to go about this. Do you need to identify the...

    I have attached a view of a curved "thicken" with holes that I am trying to produce a fflat pattern to dimension. I have tried the "Flat Pattern & Flat Body" command in "Sheet Metal" to no avail.
