    NX10 sketch angle dimensions using rapid dimension

    When creating angular dimensions using "rapid dimension" in sketch (recently installed NX10) - I'm getting good preview but the very moment I place dimension it jumps to complement angle. Do I have wrong setting somewhere? - As workaround I have to switch to angular dimension function to get it...

    NX9- auto update title block second sheet

    One option would be to define part attributes and use them in the title block template. NX8.5 + TC8.3

    Load options

    I should use "clone" function instead of copying files. This way you create new assembly with unique file names. You can exclude common components during cloning operation. NX8.5 + TC8.3

    When I import a step, non related geometry comes with it.....wierd.

    I see two possibilities: 1. Geometry is inserted into step during export - make sure that your assembly components to be exported have no hidden geometry (export ignores reference sets - exports entire parts) 2. You may have same names for some imported items (components) as other existing items...

    Printing Full size to Plotter, Prints out very Thick Lines.

    If you are using plot command - you need to verify if line width setting in the plotter is equivalent to the line width setting you have in NX. Plot routine forwards vector information including pen number to the plotter (even if it is ink jet type) and plotter definition of the pen width in...

    Printing Full size to Plotter, Prints out very Thick Lines.

    I found plotting setup in NX to be tedious and frustrating experience. Much easier is to export pdf from NX and than print it from Reader on large format printer with "actual size" checked in settings. NX8.5 + TC8.3

We had our workstations upgraded overnight. Function worked yesterday (Excel 2013), but fails...

    Assembly constraints failing when using updated parts

    Just use master model approach. If you had drawing in separate part file - you'd not have this problem. NX8.5 + TC8.3

    Part family - controlling multiple family parts from one spreadsheet

    Thank you Ben, Yes that was my initial logical approach. My issue was that cover would have to be created manually for each family member of the enclosure. Part family automates the process by creating all members. That is why I posted this question. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to be...

    Part family - controlling multiple family parts from one spreadsheet

    Is there way with this approach to keep associativity between enclosures and corresponding covers? I'm trying to avoid having to change both tables independently on revision. NX8.5 + TC8.3

    Part family - controlling multiple family parts from one spreadsheet

    I have a need to create part family where specific enclosure (part family member) is to be assembled with its dedicated cover (also family member). Is it possible to create two part families using single spreadsheet to make enclosure and its cover creation simpler? This would possibly allow me...
