    measuring in drafting

    Thank you for the good/bad news. It isn't bad to make the fill, but would be easier if I could just trace the lines in drafting and be done...

    measuring in drafting

    Catia V5R20 How can I get the area of a random shape? Draw any kind of complex shape, then shouldn't I be able to trace around the perimeter somehow to get the area? I can't find this function. Any help would be appreciated, TIA.

    NX8 text hiding

    Well I have somehow changed all my font to a style that isn't viewable? If I change to a style of blockfont it shows up... now can I make all my dimensions, leaders, view names, and everything change at once. Anyone know how to do that?

    NX8 text hiding

    So I somehow hid my text, really would like to get that back. I have even tried to place text in the drawing and it can't be seen. Yesterday this was working fine, I can look at my dimensions and all I see are a few degree symbols, tolerance symbols, etc. No letters or numbers are showing up. 1...

    Surfacing Help?

    I'm not a surfacing guy (trying to learn). I've attached a screen shot of what I'm attempting to do. In NX7.5, what would be the appropriate step to somehow blend A,B, and C together. I would like a smooth surface to eliminate that drop down shown.

    Catia R20 Dimensioning

    If you guys/gals used the example I sent, you shouldn't have the problem I have. I drafted that up to give yall an idea of my problem. The file that I'm actually using won't let me dimension or create points on the top part (Radius A, or Line 1 and Line 2 in the example). I will check my...

    Catia R20 Dimensioning

    Here is an example. Hopefully I can attach the file. I will click on radius A, but the leader will terminate at radius B location. I'm not able to move it from B to A. I can also try to make an intersection point using Line 1 and Line 2, the point will be created by Line 3 and Line 4...

    Catia R20 Dimensioning

    No, unless I could duplicate this with a dummy file. Security purposes. Sorry

    Catia R20 Dimensioning

    So I'm trying to dimension a section cut of a wheel. I try to put majority of my dimensions at the top of the profile, but why does my leader point to the bottom? Even if I try to put an intersection point, the resulting point will be at the bottom of the profile. I can mirror the stuff up just...

    NX 8 - Edit a Body

    How can I delete this post so nobody will ever see it? That delete face was a huge icon staring at me the entire time... Thanks for the help!

    NX 8 - Edit a Body

    I have a model, and 1 of the bodies has holes that I would like to remove. I'm in the model application, but I can't figure out how to remove the holes. In the part navigator it just says Body and no way (that I know of) to change the parameters of the body. Any help would be appreciated.

    NX7.5 to Catia V5

    I'm trying to export a 2D NX7.5 file as a .DWG: When the conversion is done, and I open the file in Catia, the view is rotated so all I see are points where the lines end. What can be done to rotate the view in NX7.5 so I can view it in Catia? I have created new views, and camera settings but...
