    measuring in drafting

    Catia V5R20 How can I get the area of a random shape? Draw any kind of complex shape, then shouldn't I be able to trace around the perimeter somehow to get the area? I can't find this function. Any help would be appreciated, TIA.

    NX8 text hiding

    So I somehow hid my text, really would like to get that back. I have even tried to place text in the drawing and it can't be seen. Yesterday this was working fine, I can look at my dimensions and all I see are a few degree symbols, tolerance symbols, etc. No letters or numbers are showing up. 1...

    Surfacing Help?

    I'm not a surfacing guy (trying to learn). I've attached a screen shot of what I'm attempting to do. In NX7.5, what would be the appropriate step to somehow blend A,B, and C together. I would like a smooth surface to eliminate that drop down shown.

    Catia R20 Dimensioning

    So I'm trying to dimension a section cut of a wheel. I try to put majority of my dimensions at the top of the profile, but why does my leader point to the bottom? Even if I try to put an intersection point, the resulting point will be at the bottom of the profile. I can mirror the stuff up just...

    NX 8 - Edit a Body

    I have a model, and 1 of the bodies has holes that I would like to remove. I'm in the model application, but I can't figure out how to remove the holes. In the part navigator it just says Body and no way (that I know of) to change the parameters of the body. Any help would be appreciated.

    NX7.5 to Catia V5

    I'm trying to export a 2D NX7.5 file as a .DWG: When the conversion is done, and I open the file in Catia, the view is rotated so all I see are points where the lines end. What can be done to rotate the view in NX7.5 so I can view it in Catia? I have created new views, and camera settings but...

    Seeing the whole picture

    What setting do I have turned off? Using NX7.5.3.3, and when I pull a drawing from Teamcenter I will only see parts of the drawing. I can mouse around, and when I cross over something it will then show. Soon as I move the mouse, it will go away. Rather annoying, and I would like to see the...

    feature move

    I have a valve hole that I would like to change the position of. Looking at the model history, the main hole was created using tube, and I have various edge blends, along with a revolve. I have tried using Edit -> Feature -> Edit Position, but nothing is "valid" for selection. What is the...

    clipping view

    In NX7.5, I have used the manual view boundary (right click the border -> view boundary -> maunal rectangle) to trim my view. Since I cut off part of my view, where are my break lines? My part now just goes so far and then stops. Do you have to manually add in break lines? I feel like I am...

    NX 7.5 drafting help

    I have a cylinder with 2 more cylinders inside of it. The 2 inside cylinders are longer than my actual piece, but I need to show those for interference purposes on 1 side. What is the best method for removing just a portion of the 2 inside parts? If I do a back clip it will remove part of my...

    View clipping

    Am I just lost? Using NX 7.5, and I would like to "clip" part of my view. I don't need to show the right portion of my view, and would like to trim it back some, so I can add drawing notes in that section. Where is the tool for this function? I have used command finder but I might be searching...

    saving outside of teamcenter

    I have tried searching for this, but can't find the answer. I'm new to NX (and Teamcenter as well). Can I save a part outside of teamcenter, so I can make an internal drawing for my personal use? I would like to do all this work in NX 7.5 for training purposes so I can learn NX. Thanks in advance.
