    curved monitor

    Currently using the Dell 38" Ultrawide and very happy with it. The ability to select preset tiling arrangements is a plus for dedicated document real estate. Tiles can be customized as well. If you go that route, make sure you have the GPU to drive it. The other option I considered was the use...

    How is the Format for Hole Callout controlled in NX9? Need to get it to work with ASME standards.
