    Just migrated to Win7 now SLOW

    My company just migrated to win7 and are running NX6.0.5.3 which is 64 bit. We are a large company so migration always takes place late. The question is that since the migration the performance of NX appears to have gone down. Now when I click to add a note to a drawing I have to wait 2-3...

    Help, I can't quickpick a curve

    I'm running nx503. I've run into several cases where I've needed to select an existing line or an existing point that was on the other side of a solid. I've done this before we loaded nx5 and no problems. I've tried resetting the options on the selection bar. When the indicator appears for the...

    Creating an Ellipse using sketcher?

    noyce, I've been in this boat a number of times. Normally what I do is create a rectangle where the length and width are twice the semimajor and semiminor dimensions of your desired ellipse. The length and width can be controlled by a sketch dimension or an expression. Then create your ellipse...

    Extrude between two shapes

    n8thegr8, I think you missed the point of the help docs that MSPBenson was talking about. The sweep feature his very specific how and in what order the line/curve elements are selected. Pay close attention to the cue line too, it will pretty much walk you thru it, but in a nutshell: select...

    Create Spiral Groove

    Jason, We run into this anytime we try to sweep a shape along a helix. Try your sweep again but use 2 helix curves (or whatever kind if curve you want). It seems like when a section is swept along a single radial type curve it looses it's orientation along that curve so the results are less...

    Assembly backup

    I'm suprised that nobody has suggested cloning as a solution to this request. Personally I prefer it since it will also give me option to rename part or all of the file name (such as rev letter or number for us non-teamcenter drivers). ugdriver Mama's don't let your children grow up to be...

    nkwheelguy, Sorry, we are running nx2. I'm looking for the file that controls the location and content of the standard ug basic toolbars. Basically I've got the standard ug toolbars and icons that I use docked in a location that works for me with the icons that I use often. I'd like to be able...

    Toolbar Set-up File

    I'm looking for the name of the file that ug saves the toolbar set-up to. From my earlier thread titled 'Teamcenter and Copy/paste' the only resolution that UGS has offered is to reload UG. I really don't want to have to go thru all of the time and effort to have to set up all of the tool...
