    Please Help! Accidentally deleted parts

    I don't think I deleted them from the disk. I only deleted them from the assembly. Unfortunately, I don't know the file numbers to add them back to the assembly. Is there a way I can find out what files used to be in the assembly and get those file numbers? Thank you, Trent NX 11.0.2.7

    Please Help! Accidentally deleted parts

    Hi All, I accidentally deleted 4 or 5 parts from an assembly file and I need to get them back. Is there a way to do this? If I go to Menu>Information>Part>Part History>Apply I can see a previous file version that would include the parts I accidentally deleted. Is there a way to restore that...

    Hole callout doesn't work on mirrored part

    I feel your pain! The hole callout feature also does not work for a hole located on a cylindrical surface, i.e. a setscrew hole over a keyway in a pulley. This has been a known issue for nearly 10 years. WTF??? It's as if the programmers for this software have never tested their own code to...

    Hole callout doesn't work on mirrored part

    This has to be the worst software I've ever used. The number of issues with this garbage seems to be infinite. Thank you, Trent NX 11.0.2.7

    Can't drag parts with constraints feature

    I'm currently using 11.0.2.7, no major upgrades that I'm aware of. Also, since my original post I've learned that this issue seems to be limited to one file and within that file the "move object" command no longer works either. As long as there are zero assembly constraints on an object I can...

    Can't drag parts with constraints feature

    Typically, if I wanted to click/drag (move) a part on the screen, I would open the assembly constraints dialog box, select touch/align and then I could drag the part around. This is, of course assuming the part was not fully constrained. Now, all of a sudden, I can't do this anymore. I always...

    What was the file name?

    I did a save as and now I don't remember the name of the original file that I saved from. Is there a way to extract that information from the new file? Regards, Thank you, Trent NX 11.0.1.11

    Hole callout on circular surface

    The datum plane workaround did not work. So LAME that it took them 12 versions to fix a "known issue". I guess I can say, I'm looking forward to NX 12 as we are still using 11. Thank you, Trent NX 11.0.1.11

    Trouble with large assemblies

    We are hardwired but we are in a different building than the server and I believe the fiber optic cable has a limited bandwith. So, that could be part of it. The video driver was updated a few months ago and when we did that it seemed to have zero impact. I'm terrible about never shutting...

    Trouble with large assemblies

    I don't know exactly how many parts. Is there an easy way to get a part count or a file size? If I had to guess it's easily in the multiple thousands. I have not tried any of the suggestions you made but I will. Thank you! I watched the RAM while I opened the file and while doing some...

    Trouble with large assemblies

    I can close all other apps and still get the exact same performance. Not that much running anyway. Just Teamcenter, Chrome and Excel. Yes, it runs NX fine on the smaller files, but it really lags on the larger files. I'll try rebooting but I'm cautiously optimistic at best. Thank you, Trent...
