    nx11 automatic application change

    Thanks Cowski for the reply. It appears that this setting will start a new model where it was last saved. But it doesn't seem to change the application behavior when switching windows.

    nx11 automatic application change

    Beginning with NX11, when switching windows, an automatic change of the application is executed. This means, that the part changes to the application in which it has been last saved. (drafting mode / model mode) While I see the benefits of this, is there an option to not automatically change...

    wave link assigned to reference set automatically

    I looked at these settings in the customer defaults and the "include wave..." option described above is already turned off. I remember turning that off when I would create a new reference set and immediately something would be added to it. But this is a bit different in that, when I create a...

    wave link assigned to reference set automatically

    I recently moved from nx10 to nx11. Ever since, I have noticed than when I create a wave link feature, the new wave link geometry is automatically assigned to an existing reference set. Is there a way to control this behavior? Thanks.

    nx9 macros and journals

    Thanks JRB for the info. It confirmed what I already thought was happening. I did try using the classic interface but that did not work very well. And I wanted to continue using the new interface anyway. You are right about macros vs journals. I don't mind recreating new journals but I have...

    nx9 macros and journals

    When I updated from nx8.5 to nx9 my macros no longer worked. With nx8.5 I simply recorded my menu selections to create the macro. Here is an example of one of my macros: select and existing dimension, then run the macro to change the font, size, add parenthesis, etc. I have recreated the macro...

    Ordinate with Arrows

    Hello. I use ordinate dimensions usually with no issues. But for some unknown reason, an arrow between the "0" origin and the dimension extension line started showing up. Also, this arrow has a circle at the origin as though it were a radius point. Need help finding the setting to remove the...

    Apply same color to wireframe...

    When viewing an assembly I like to see each component in a different color. I try always to use the "apply same color to wireframe..." when creating a component. But when I open an assembly that has not been set up this way already, it can take too much time to change the options for each...

    STL Drawing

    Yes the stl was imported as graphics body. When the solid or surface option is enabled I get an error saying "too many surfaces" and it doesnt work. I looked in the help and it makes reference to the "scanto3d" add-on. I will read more about that. Thanks.

    STL Drawing

    I imported an STL but when I try to make a drawing, the drawing view is blank. There appears to be something there because I see the drawing properties when click on the space. But nothing is visible. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Naming parts upon creation within assembly

    In the past, while using sw07, I would create a new component by "insert - component - new part". Then I would be prompted to name the new component. I have noticed that since updating to sw09 solidworks names the component for me. Does anyone know if there is a setting to allow naming within...

    Angle Dimension Degree Symbol

    When creating an angular dimension I used to see the degree (°) symbol. But since upgrading to 2009 I now see the letters "deg" in the dimension. I have searched help and options but cannot figure out how to get the symbol back. Any help welcome. Thanks.
