    NX 9 Launches But Won't Open File On Double Click

    I installed NX10 to open a newer file but we use NX9 to stay current with GM. I changed the system variables back for NX9, now when I double click a .prt file a new session of NX9 launches but the .prt file won't load. Any suggestions? Thanks! DieMan

    Trimmed Surface Color

    I have subtracted a solid from a solid (2 different colors) and the surface remaining had to color of the subtraction tool. The project I'm working on now, I'm using a sheet body to trim and would like to have the solid surfaces that are trim change color automatically. Is this possible? Thanks!

    Unable to reassociate datum dimension

    1) You need to make sure that in Preferences, Drafting, Dimension, Ordinate - The Positive Direction is set to "User Defined" and not "All" If it is not and the dimension is already on, let me know and I can tell you how to fix it rather than recreate them all if there are a lot of them. This...

    Drafting Dimensions

    The biggest thing with the datum dimensioning is well everything. Trying to place the zeros, you are on top of the directional arrows and have the pause over the corner and wait for the 3 dots to appear then click and select the end point then select baseline or perpendicular, uncheck the other...

    Drafting Dimensions

    After this design, I'm going to reinstall NX 8, I only need NX 9 to deal with GM directly.

    Drafting Dimensions

    I use the datum (ordinate) dimensioning the most, it's extremely frustrating.

    Drafting Dimensions

    Is there anyway of going back to NX 8 style? Having to search through all these menus and pull downs is ridiculous. Its taking me 3-4 times longer is detail a simple block not to mention more complex details, and the datum dimensioning is really cumbersome.[banghead] We migrated because GM did...

    Inherit settings for dimensions

    In NX 9 when I go to settings on a dimension and go to inherit, it always defaults to "preferences". I always use "selected object" I could not find anything in customer defaults to change it. Is there a way to fix this? Jeff NX 9.0.2.5

    Unable to reassociate datum dimension

    In NX 8 if I had picked the corner of a chamfer instead the edge of the block I could just reassociate that dimension to where I want it. Is there a way to do that in NX 9? Also I can not seem to attach the zero going the other direction. I select activate perpendicular but it just move the...

    Move ordinate dimension orgin

    I can not seem to find how to move the origin of my ordinate dimension. Before you could right click and pick move origin but that option seems to be missing in NX 9 Jeff NX 9.0.2.5

    DIMENSION POPUP

    When selecting a dimension, I get a popup for settings and etc. Is there a way to disable this or lock it into a position? I'm trying to select multiple dimensions (over 100) and I keep clicking on that popup because it falls on top of the dimensions I'm trying to select. Jeff NX 9.0.2.5 Native

    Rendering Issue After NX 9 Migration

    "Align Facets along Edges" seemed to work. [thanks]

    Rendering Issue After NX 9 Migration

    Never mind, unchecking that made my counter bores look normal but hid the edges on my form steels. [banghead]

    Rendering Issue After NX 9 Migration

    Rendering Issue After NX 9 Migration

    The NX 9 migration has not been smooth. I have noticed an issue with the graphics rendering, see attached. I don't think GTAC will be much help since last time I had a graphics issue they said there isn't much they can do since it's not a certified work station (our IT dept. built it because...
