    Conversion Status Window

    First I'd like to thank all the active members who provide the helpful guidance. You have benefitted more than just the people asking the questions, and it is much appreciated. On to my question. Current Version NX2212 I have found that while creating specifically stp conversions there is no...

    Indicators of hardware weaknesses?

    First I would like to thank the members who share their knowledge on this site. I lurk here often picking up bits of useful information. I would like to ask if there are clues during the file loading process that indicate hardware weaknesses? While opening our files, most "hang" at 45%. I...

    Geometric Properties dialog box precision.

    The search feature didn't answer this question. Is it possible to set the number of decimal places displayed in the "Geometric Properties" dialog box? It is a very handy tool, but would like to increase its precision. Thank you.

    Highlight fields in the Expressions dialog.

    I have a question regarding the “Expressions” interface window. Is it possible to have certain text fields highlighted, for easier/quicker identification? (For example could the "length" and "engage_min" fields be highlighted.) If so, could someone please explain the process or attach a link...

    Maintenance Release install.

    I have been asked to load NX 10 on to a couple of our company's computers. I realize maintenance releases contain all previous maintenance packs. My question is, do all maintenance releases contain all previous releases as well? In other words, is it required to load each release in order, or...

    Sketch dimension decimal places?

    Is there a separate setting for displaying sketch dimension decimal places? I would like to have my sketch dimension show as 4 place decimals, while drafting dimensions display as 3. Thank you. Ken

    Using OpenOffice with NX?

    Can Open Office be used with NX 9? The answer back in 2008 was no. http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=232171 Has that changed? The reason I ask is our IT department loaded a new work station with Open Office instead of Excel. I just wanted confirmation before more time is wasted...

    Preview feature text?

    A question for the group. Is there a setting I am over looking to display a preview of feature text in modeling? Modeling; Insert; Curve; Text. The preview when placing the curves is always "AaBbYyZz" I'd like the preview to reflect what is entered in the text box. NX 8.5 Font: MS GOTHIC...

    Help understanding constraints for sequencing.

    We are using nx 8.5.0.23 I have decided it’s time to teach myself about constraints and sequencing, without much luck. I would appreciate any suggestions for training exercises or videos that deal more with sliding components than rotating. Our company uses more slide and lifter arrangements...

    Attaching a sphere to each end of a swept feature?

    This seems so easy, yet is causing us problems. Using NX9, but co-worker says earlier versions had the same issue. We would like to attach a sphere to the end of a surface swept feature. So our test begins: Create a .25 dia circle on XY plane. Create a 1" line in Z. Using the surface swept...

    Prefernces-Object dialog size?

    Is there a way of reducing the Preferences - Object dialog box size? Having to drag the slider down, through all the empty space, to gain access to the Inherit selection is a nuisance and time consuming. I believe it appeared this way in 7.5 and is still like this in 8.5. Thanks in advance...

    Editing feature text.

    We are having difficultly editing feature text that was added to a model by one of our users. NX 7.5 and NX 8 Insert - Curve - Text Our issue is that, he is the only user able to edit the feature. When any of our other users selects it to edit, the text is greyed out, and...

    Re-associating Center Marks?

    I think I may be missing a toggle somewhere. Version NX7.5 Is there a easier way of re-associating center marks? The process I'm using now is: 1-Left click out of date center mark, 2-Right click, select edit, 3-Select center feature to re-associate to, 4-click "OK" -repeat step 1- When I use...

    Section Curve?

    This may have been addressed a long time ago, but are you no longer able to use "section curve" to create curves from faces/bodies, of assembled solids? Is there a feature that has replaced this? Here is the scenario to better explain the situation: Core model is created in cr_core.prt Detail...
