    Multiple extrudes from one sketch_ New question

    NX doesn't like it when you have regions that are touching at a point. I don't have a good answer how to solve your problem. Windows 7 NX 10.0.3.5

    NX11 - Resource Bar Multiple Windows

    I am seeing the same thing, we're getting NX 11 ready to go so I have been back and forth between 10 and 11. I can dock the resource bar in 10 but NX 11.0.0.33 MP1 the option to do so is grayed out, only the option to move to the left or right side of the screen... Windows 7 NX 10.0.3.5

    Features you wish NX had?

    How about being able to copy drawing views from one drawing to another, not just from sheet to sheet. Ex. I have a inspection pin that is used in multiple assemblies as a component but I have to document it in each assembly because each pin is custom finished to match the worst case out of...

    Features you wish NX had?

    Tomas, Using the shift key with a dimension works great, I didn't know that trick. It didn't appear to work for a balloon though. The txt file also works nicely until you have to edit it in NX, I just am not a fan of their text editor... I'd rather it launch a 3rd party software like Word...

    Features you wish NX had?

    In drafting I have a few: 1. It would be nice for the auto-balloon function to not allow balloons leaders to cross over each other and be a minimum distance away from each other. 2. When you drag a balloon (or hole dimension callout) around a object that is circular/cylinder it would be nice if...

    Drafting font issue

    Thanks Cowski that fixed it! It's been driving me crazy trying to figure out what was going on. Windows 7 NX 10.0.3.5

    Drafting font issue

    Here's a pic of two different files, both using Arial font. Look at the diameter and depth symbol for the differences. Windows 7 NX 10.0.3.5

    Drafting font issue

    For no rhyme or reason (that I can see) sometimes our drafting font (Arial) characters are 1/2 size of the regular text. Any suggestions? Thanks Windows 7 NX 10.0.3.5 NX 9.0.3.4

    dimensions mess up cross hatch

    Are you saying that the Drawing file includes a part model with all its features as well as additional Components? Yes but it's only the part model that is being documented? Yes, Typically we treat our designs as an inseparable assembly, all the in-house built parts are designed in the file and...

    dimensions mess up cross hatch

    Interesting, the drawing is in the same part file as the main part, but also has assembly components in the file. NX 9.0.3.4

    dimensions mess up cross hatch

    Does anyone else have an issue with the cross hatch getting messed up after dimensions are added to the view and the view updated? See a before and after attached... If the dimensions are deleted and I update the view the cross hatch returns to normal. NX...

    Replace component

    Thank you for the quick reply, but the issue becomes when the drawing does not have the component as part of the assembly (as mentioned in the other thread). Because I don't want to re-draft the views that are linked to the old file I found the only way to replace this component is to copy...

    Replace component

    thread561-362010 Has the replace component for drafting views been resolved for NX 9 or NX 10? NX 8.5.3.3

    NX 9 delete face command

    That worked! NX 8.5.3.3
