    Hello Thomas, Thanks for the input. But Check Wall Thickness only gives the color graph. I want to place a datum plane, move it along the body, and dynamically display the wall thickness as I move the plane. Also if I can get a NX program that would analyze the body and give me information of...

    Hello All, I wanted to know if there is a way to dynamically move a datum place across the body and get the information on minimum and maximum wall thickness. It would be good to see if it can highlight the area like it does when analyzing for interference. Currently, NX shows a Map with color...

    Consolidate the commands in NX

    Hi, NX1872. I think Siemens should consolidate Fill Surface, N sided surface and Fill Hole commands into one command. That would be much easier. Basically they are multiple ways to fill the gap or build a surface to fill void. Share your thoughts.

    How do I stretch Curve in NX1879 ?

    HI Tingsryd, No Scale curve does not do what stretch curve can do. Also I found out that All legacy commands will show up in NX1872 by searching for "All Legacy" in the command finder. Iam not sure why Siemens would remove such a good option in NX.

    DXF export from NX, does not export the cross hatch symbol from Modeling environment

    Hi All, We imported DXF file from vendor into NX12. Then we wanted to export some of the entities along with cross hatch symbol out from NX as DXF. We set the setting to select the cross hatch. But when we import it back into NX, we do not see cross hatch symbol. What could have been missed?
