    Does NX have a command similar to Creo's Spinal Bend?

    Does NX have a command similar to Creo's Spinal Bend? I have a bellow on a steering gear that I am trying to bend along a curve. The large end would stay fixed, but the small end would bend down (and forward/aft). See pic below... Any ideas? Mike...

    How to make model lines show up on drawing?

    @cowski That was the fix. But the view wouldn't update. However, when I created a new view, all the lines came in as they should. @sdeters how do you toggle your model lines on and off?

    How to make model lines show up on drawing?

    This used to work prior to NX9... Now we have NX9 and... Picture this... I draw a solid model of a cylinder. Pretend that's the bolt. Then I draw another cylinder. Pretend that's the nut. Then I draw a centerline between the two, kinda like what you might see on an exploded drawing. Your...

    NOOOOOO NX9 use ribbon interface

    Just wondered if it's possible to create a new group in an existing Tab? For example, in the home tab I'd like to add a WCS group, and then throw in a couple WCS commands... (I don't want a WCS tab) Thanks, UGGuy...

    Can't get datum symbol to attach to the midpoint of a hole dimension...

    Jerry, I am using NX 8.5 to create the datum symbols. I noticed in my copy of NX 7.5 the attachment point is in the center of the leader. It's NX 8.5 that is attaching the datum symbol to the end of the leader. Are you using 8.5? Do you know of a way to switch the attachment point from the...

    Can't get datum symbol to attach to the midpoint of a hole dimension...

    Hey guys, In NX8.5 I am trying to create a datum hanging off a hole dimension. The first one snapped to the midpoint of the extension. Perfect. But all the others snap to the endpoint of the extension. see picture. How do I get it to snap to the midpoint of the extension? Thanks, Mike...

    Does UG have a "set working directory" like Pro/E?

    Does UG have a "set working directory" similar to what Pro/E does? Everytime I switch to a different project (which is in a different directory), I'm constantly having to re-navigate the directory structure to get to the correct directory. And I have to navigate when I do a parasolid import...

    How can I show the cylindrical centerline in NX5?

    Cowski, For everything actually... modeling, dimensioning... Let me tell you how this all started. I have a cylindrical bar, with a hole going thru it for a pin. the cylindrical bar was modeled in vehicle position, so it has a really strange WCS. Further more, the hole going thru it does...

    How can I show the cylindrical centerline in NX5?

    I'm using NX 5.0.4.1. In modeling mode, When I measure the distance to the center of a cylinder, a centerline appears that I can pick. It's like the drafting mode centerline utility symbol. Is there any way I can turn these modeling centerline utility symbols on so that I can use them? Thanks...

    Loading really large files?

    The page files from the main location is the same as mine, 2048. Any other ideas? does NX have any configuration files that might deal with this? Thanks, UGGuy...
