    NX 2000 - Save different Object Displays in an assembly

    Maybe "View Dependent Edit" can help you, it's only available in drafting, look for "Edit Shaded Objects" But you need a additionale view... Switch in Drafting to the model views, you can use "Display Sheet OFF" best regards!

    Component Pattern - Rotate Specific Instances

    Please report this problem to siemens we got a solution for a similar problem in NX1953. Keyword copy constraints in pattern component... or if you have an old part (NX10) with pattern component you can import it and replace the component in the pattern component. Best regards!

    Assembly constantly updating after every action

    @plach We had the same problem in NX8 native no TC, if the Assy. Load Options were set to "From Search Folder". With "As Saved" we did not have the problem. Best regards! [wink]

    create spline between 2 splines

    @RSilva [dazed] I know it’s very tricky, but you can create a 2D Centerline in Drafting. With the following settings: gap=0 dash=longer as the longest spline extension=0 Then export/import cgm from the centerline and you get the middle spline. Best regards [wink]

    Export dwg to 1:1 scale

    @Walterke;) we export our Drawings always with 2D Exchange and the settings are: Output to: Drafting Output As: DWG File Then in ACAD you get a layout similar to the NX DWG and the geometry is in scale in the model area. best regards

    "Save as" + deleting old named part

    Thanks for your help, yes I use the same way to clean up the parts. But now I have found, if I do the part cleanup in NX8 it works 100%, but in NX7 I always see also the old componend names. It seems it's a bug in NX7.
