    NX 10 - surface rather than face selection for child features

    is there a way to make a child feature (say and intersect line between two surfaces) to always look at the entire surface rather than just the faces that are selected at the time of making it. as the design is changing, and the surface changes, i am having to rebuild every thing because the...

    limited replacement of surfaces in NX10

    I have a surface model based on offsets of a base surface. As the design has evolved i need some of the offsets to be run off of an additional base surface. Is there a way to replace the original base surface with the new one but only effecting a select few of driven surfaces leaving some of...

    line tangent to a 3d curve through a point

    in NX 10, how do i create a simple straight line that is tangent to a 3d curve and passes through a point that is on the 3d curve. in the line command the automatic plane just assumes you want in parallel to the base planes. is there a simple way to do this without having to create a load of...

    NX10 replacing one surface with a different one

    looks like it was because when the surfaces, as an IGS file, was brought in it was just opened in NX, rather than imported. Importing seems to have sorted the problem. just got to rebuild the rest of model with the newly imported surface. a lesson for next time. thanks for the suggestions

    NX10 replacing one surface with a different one

    i am trying to entirely replace one surface with a very similar one. its the hull of a yacht so lots of curvature in all directions. I have tried the 'replace' command, corrected all the edges etc but it is coming up with the message saying "unable to replace features" but giving no clue as to...

    Dependencies/Details/Preview panes in Part Navigator disappeared in NX10

    Thanks cowski, that was the problem. I had tried that but because one of the panes was "open" you need to drag it a lot further before it does anything.

    Dependencies/Details/Preview panes in Part Navigator disappeared in NX10

    In NX 10, the dependencies, details and preview panes have disappeared from the bottom of the part navigator. They are still there in assembly navigator. Is there a setting to turn them back on? I have tried deleting the setting folder from the appdata folder, but that did not fix them problem...

    surfacing fundamentals

    thanks for the answers, again this example is just to establish what is possible / understand the fundamentals of surfacing in NX. here is my example in 8.5 I have filleted the smaller diameter cylinder to the flat surface. I want to be able to fillet the large diameter cylinder to the flat...

    surfacing fundamentals

    here is an example I have filleted the smaller diameter cylinder to the fill. I want to be able to fillet the large diameter cylinder to the fill as well but it appears I can not as that part of the fill is no longer there. Is there a way of achieving this or am I using NX wrong? Again this...

    surfacing fundamentals

    that was just an example for the problem, what I am designing really needs to be in surfaces due to the curved shapes

    surfacing fundamentals

    Hi I am relatively new to NX but experienced in Catia v5. I am wondering about the fundamentals of surfacing in NX. It appears that once you have modified a surface you can not reuse it. For example if you have a base flat surface with two independent sheet cylinders that pass through the...
