    Invisible/missing faces

    Thanks John You're right. It has to be a driver, because today, when I reopened the part, one of the two faces that were missing was no longer missing. I think it won't represent much trouble since when I make any other operation (extrude, substract, etc) the faces re-appear. If I have any...

    Invisible/missing faces

    Hello everyone! I'm designing a mold and after doing a "mirror body" I found out that some of the faces were missing (or invisible). Any idea why this happened? and how to fix it Thanks in advance! NX6.0.3.6 -> NX7.5.4.4 -> NX8.0.0.25

    NX8 Can't Mirror a Patterned Feature

    NX8 Can't Mirror a Patterned Feature

    John These grooves are part of my model. I think I will wait for the update release, I hope this will fix this issue. For now I'll use an iron crosshatch at 90° and a note for the drawing. Thank you NX6.0.3.6 -> NX7.5.4.4 -> NX8.0.0.25

    NX8 Can't Mirror a Patterned Feature

    NX8 Can't Mirror a Patterned Feature

    John The problem manifested in this way, I tried to do a Mirror Feature of a Patterned feature but I couldn't select it, this happen in the past with Instance feature and Swept operations and I found out that Instance Feature can not select a Swept but it can select a Feature group containing...

    NX8 Can't Mirror a Patterned Feature

    Hi! I'm using NX8 and I noticed that 'Instance Feature' was replaced by 'Pattern Feature' what I think is pretty cool. Today I was working in a model where I did a 'Lineal Pattern' of some features and then I tried to mirror it using Mirror Feature, but I coldn't do this. Then I tried doing a...

    NX8 Drafting: Can't dimension angles using existing dimensions

    Thanks guys! It's kinda strange the behavior of my dimensions because I noticed that it is not always, sometimes it referencesw my angle dimension to the existing dimension and sometimes not. What I'm doing is an "edit associativity" and then I select again the dimension I wish to be...

    NX8 Drafting: Can't dimension angles using existing dimensions

    Hi guys! I've been working in NX8 for a couple of weeks, and I noticed that I can't dimension angles using existing dimensions like I used to in NX6. I have 2 images, the one with blue dimensions was created in NX6 and the one with maroon dimensions in NX8. I want to make the 10° dimension...

    Solid Selection NX8

    John, that's exactly my case. I do not have permission to access the registry files. Well. If there isn't an option in Customer Defaults, I'll toggle it OFF everytime I need it. Thanks! NX6.0.3.6 -> NX7.5.4.4 -> NX8.0.0.25

    Solid Selection NX8

    Hi everyone! I was having the same trouble about the selection, but now it is solved thanks to your tip. But, is there a way to keep it permanent? I mean, an option in Customer defaults or something. Thanks in advance.

    model curves showing through solids in drafting

    Hi teookie Well using layers is not that bad. You can put that labels on a layer (i. e.: layer 41) then switch off layer 41, this will make the labels invisible in all the views). Now go to Visible in view... and select only the views where you want to show the labels (i. e.: TOP@8), then...

    model curves showing through solids in drafting

    Hi teookie! Try moving all the sketches and curves into layers. Then do a "Layer settings" and turn off the layer where you put the sketches. If still the curves shows, go to format > visible in view... > a reset to global all the views.

    NX 8 Drafting: Unable to Install Custom Symbols

    Hi Casey7! Thanks a lot!!! My library is working!!! Well, I couldn't find where Java files were and I thought that I had to install Java. But I had something else to do. So I just removed the quotes ("") from "%JRE_HOME%\bin\javaw", so it reads: %JRE_HOME%\bin\javaw ... and what a surprise...
