    Solidworks to NX translator

    Are there any translators that can allow a Solidworks part to be read into NX and retain the feature history? Parasolids are accurate but are tough to modify.

    Changing colors of existing curves (NX5)

    Hi all, I'm working with a part that was migrated from I-Deas, and the default colors for sketch curves and dimentions do not work very well with the standard NX5 window backround. How do I change the colors of all existing sketches and dimensions?

    (NX5) Unable to plot 1:1 from drafting

    I should have mentioned we use "Print" instead of "Plot"

    (NX5) Unable to plot 1:1 from drafting

    Anyone have any tips on plotting 1:1? We are trying to get exact size plots but are finding that the plots are slightly small. For example, a 12" dimension will actually measure around 1/4" short. We tried changing every setting we could find in the printer options but it had no effect. This...

    Corrupted part? (NX5)

    If only it was that easy. We got a quote of $20,000 to update the databases for Teamcenter, which also has to be updated to run 7.5

    Modifying a detail view (NX5 drafting)

    OK, I'll change my comment to "I don't know why it isn't in the Detail View help files." I'm still having difficulty dragging the diameter of the detail circle in the parent view. If the detail view border is changed from the default circle to "manual rectangle", you apparently lose the...

    Ah, that was it, thanks. I don't know why this isn't in the help files.

    Modifying a detail view (NX5 drafting)

    I don't get an "edit" choice when I right click. Maybe a new feature for NX6?

    Modifying a detail view (NX5 drafting)

    I have an existing circular detail view, and I want to modify the size and location of the reference circle, but I can't remember how. Grrr.
