    NX 12 Expressions, Reference Part Attribute

    Hello, our company will be moving from Nx10 to Nx12. I have many files which are controlled parametrically by changing the values in: Tools-> Expressions -> Reference Part Attribute. I have opened one of my files in Nx12, but I cannot find a "Reference Part Attribute (RPA for short)." Only...

    NX8.5 Drafting Add View from Part

    Hello, I am thinking in earlier versions of NX it was possible to add a view in drafting from a part or assembly which is not the current part. Insert-View-From Part it would've been. In this version I tried to use Insert-View-Base, but I can't select from the part that I want.

    NX8.5 Assemblies Adding Components Menu

    Hello, I have advanced with full menus selected for roles, but for some reason I don't have the normal menu for Assemblies/Components/Add Existing for mating components in an assembly. The menu is much shorter, it only shows context control, component position, replace reference set, wave, and...

    Nx 10 Dimensions Becoming Disassociated with Templates created in Nx 8.5

    I'm not sure what you mean by this "I tried recreating the view using the newer "exact" representation (as opposed to the "Exact (Pre-NX8.5)" type)" and how does one bring an issue up to GTAC?

    Nx 10 Dimensions Becoming Disassociated with Templates created in Nx 8.5

    Cowski, the value for the l2 is multiplied by 4.25" to determine the scale of the view. I'm not sure if that is why you need to manually update, but I have thought the same thing you did about that. If you change an individual attribute, you are right, it seems to work fine, but it is when you...

    Nx 10 Dimensions Becoming Disassociated with Templates created in Nx 8.5

    Hello, I created templates in Nx 8.5. The dimensions are controlled by inputting different values in attributes. They work normally in Nx 8.5, but now that we are using Nx 10, there are many times where the dimensions are becoming disassociated after the changes are applied in attributes. Is...

    Move Object Command Not Allowing Me to Select The Desired Object Nx10

    I believe I have discovered what was wrong... A real head scratcher. While in the drafting application I quickly dimensioned an angle on the part. I did not need the print which I created, so I selected the border and deleted it. This then of course kicks you back to what you think is the...

    Move Object Command Not Allowing Me to Select The Desired Object Nx10

    Hello, I am trying to do a "Move Object" command to rotate this object in Nx10. It will not allow me to select the object which I want to. Am I missing something? I've done this a million times in previous versions. I have no selection filter selected and within work part only selected. Please...

    Adjust Gap Between Part View and Dimension Line Nx10

    Hello, Does anyone know how to adjust the spacing between the drafting view and the dimension line in Nx10? In past versions this was done using Preferences->Annotation->Line/Arrow: and adjusting the H and J values. I cannot figure out where to do this in version 10. Thanks in Advance

    Borders on views not wanted in Drafting Nx 10

    Thanks Cowski, I just needed to look in workflow instead of Base/Drawing, Thanks!

    Borders on views not wanted in Drafting Nx 10

    Hi John, Do you mean "Drafting Preferences?" If I go to Drafting Preferences->View->Base/Drawing I only have the option of choosing "Settings" or "Label," neither of which have anything about view borders. Could you please walk me through what exactly I need to change? I would greatly...
