    Replacing old Title Blocks with a new Title Block- NX11

    hi no that makes no difference. when i first started to try the import part method the system is asking for me to select offset curves etc. somehow i was able to get it to work but that was giving me no editable tables to put in ie: drawing name etc. i stopped that and did copy paste and i get...

    Internal Sketcher for Holes- new point created upon editing dimension, NX9

    hi John one more thing, you will notice that i did not edit the auto dimension dimension, i created a new dimension, this should delete the auto dimension and create a dimension that has an expression attached, as in NX8.5 and previous version. Scott Copeland

    Internal Sketcher for Holes- new point created upon editing dimension, NX9

    Hi all i am using NX9 and have found that when i use the Sketcher inside of the hole command with continuous auto dimensioning set to on i will get a point created- this is not the issue. when i double click the dimension to edit its position i get a brand new point created! why? is there a...

    Body/face colour change within an assembly

    Hi John sorry i guess what i was getting at is when i import a component into my work part, that component will change its colour to what is set in the preferences tab. i was hoping that there was some way for the component to retain its colours upon import. this is what i'm having trouble to...

    How to capture the X,Y,Z values of an associated point?

    ok thanks i'll give that a try. my other option was to just take an associative measurement to each point. that will give me a value i can use in PTS. Scott Copeland Design Engineering Contractor Persego Int'l www.persego.com
