    In NX10 now. I have 1 level assembly. I have a group of 20 components positioned by constraining. Can I move 5 selected components in one move command (with copy option on) and to have NX copy all of the constrains between selected components? Currently I can copy all selected components and...

    WTF NX?? I HAVE A BOSS ON A SLIGHTLY CURVED FACE. WHY CANT NX ADD A DRAFT TO ALL SIDES OF THE BOSST BASED ON CURRENT ORIENTATION OF WALLS (CURRENT ORIENTATION OF WALLS IS NORMAL TO CURVED SURFACE) IT ASKS FOR DRAW DIRECTION AS A SINGLE VECTOR AND THUS MAKES DRAFT FROM THAT VECTOR ORIENTATION...

    I am making a drawing of a rectangular frame (out of steel sq tubes) the top of frame has small 5"x5" plates welded on top of every vertical post. There is no symmetry to this frame, its like a snake where the top two longerons are cut at a unique angle at every vertical post. Problem: I must...

    measuring deviation from point cloud to surface?

    i agree that I didnt give enough details. Lets say I have sheet body that consists of multiple faces. general geometry in a shape of rectangle beam narrowing on one end. I have points that were collected from as built part on all 4 sides of beam. What would be ideal is me picking sheet body...

    measuring deviation from point cloud to surface?

    Using NX10. Basically I have cloud of points collected from 'as built' and I want to compare it to the model. Most points are near the surface with in 1" and there are millions of points. is there a way to pick all pints and let NX analize all of them to the surface? "deviation checking" need...

    help copy PMI annotation into drafting NX10

    "Inherit PMI onto Drawing" option is not available when I am placing my view. Is that why I am not getting them to display? Here is how PMI settings looks after I placed the view already.

    help copy PMI annotation into drafting NX10

    Yes I turned on to inherit PMI in the settings of the view before I placed it. There are three different options I think. I tried all three. No difference.

    I have model that has PMI annotations (see pic) but I need to create a drawing/PDF with all of the annotations. All annotations are in a base view labeled GDT, when I import that base view on drawing Annotations do not show up (see pic). Even if I turn on all layers manually, I see alot of...
