    Drawing Formats in WORD?

    @drawoh - I agree with you, and have worked that way for some time. I recently took a job that supports the Military. Yes, we have full-size printers... perhaps all in North America. Change is slow here. @IRstuff - Thanks! Do you consider this "Open Source?" May I take and modify?

    Drawing Formats in WORD?

    We have a few different CAD platforms, but we are considering moving all our A-Size and B-Size drawings to WORD since they are usually text, tables or charts. This eliminates maintaining all those drawing formats in CAD. I keep trying to find a generic WORD template I can start from - I can't...

    Windchill - electronic approvals

    The company I just started with is really behind the times. Despite using Creo-Windchill, we are still signing E-size paper drawings and scanning them into raster PDFs. We have a project to move us to electronic review and approval, but we are completely reinventing the wheel... and going very...

    NX Trim Curve in Drafting

    Thanks It does not work from Basic Curves either. I spoke to GTAC. The re-enabled it in 12.0.2 If you go to the Customize search for your Ribbon, you can type in: Legacy. Add that to your ribbon. That is the current work around.

    NX Trim Curve in Drafting

    You can no longer Trim Curve in Drafting as far as we can tell in our newly-upgraded NX12. I can understand NX pushing geometry creation in Modeling as a principle. But we have a lot of legacy layouts and schematics that have curves in Drafting that cannot be edited (trimmed) for revisions...

    Embed Your Company Font into NX File?

    Cowski, Great idea. NX file is attached.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=d5ccbe8b-aa2e-4aee-ac12-686045a1586a&file=COWSKI-TEST.prt

    Embed Your Company Font into NX File?

    I work for a large company that has it's own font - which looks great. We are considering switching to that with our Models, Drawings and PMI. As we become more model-based, our concern is that when we send our models out for manufacture, if the recipient supplier does not have our font (and...

    Are You Using Modern Fonts?

    We are considering a change, but worried that our model-based, PMI parts, could have problems if recipients don't have the same font available. Then it would have to revert to a default, and maybe make mess with formatting. So a "GE" font may fail when outsiders use our PMI.

    Are You Using Modern Fonts?

    The company I work at has been using the ancient BLOCKFONT in all CAPS for decades. Very "old-looking." Do your drawings have a contemporary look? Does your company use a modern font? Which one?

    NX 11 - STEP 242 - PMI

    Will NX 11 support STEP 242 and carry PMI with it? Anyone know?

    NX - Cutting Full Assembly in half for 3D Printing

    The Assembly Cut did the trick! It took some time, but looks great. Thanks John!

    NX - Cutting Full Assembly in half for 3D Printing

    Thanks John, I will give that a try. I've only used Assembly Cut on single parts. But you're saying it will let me do one cut operation on 150 Target bodies simultaneously? Effectively removing half of a machine?

    NX - Cutting Full Assembly in half for 3D Printing

    Does NX have the ability to section, and eliminate half of an assembly, so that the remianing solids can be turned into an STL file for printing? I have a large fabrication assembly made up of several hundred parts. We'd like to make a 3D Print of half of it (so you can see the internals). It...

    NX - The 50-50-90 rule?

    * Caution, this is pure whining - but want to know what other users think. Can Siemens put more effort into intuitiveness? The 50-50-90% rule with NX is that when an operation is binary in nature (50-50%) NX will 90% of the time pick the option I don't want. Does anyone else see this? One...
