    Detailing drill hole on contoured surface using Dowel for locating

    Hello, I am trying to make a drawing detailing an M6 threaded hole that lies on a contoured surface using a dowel hole to locate the centerpoint for machining. I have searched around a bit for instruction or example drawings of something similar and cannot find anything. Anyone have any...

    Hi all, I am coming from Unigraphics and have an assembly that I need to modify. I would like to select certain solid bodies as well as axis/planes and save as a separate part to work on. What is the best way to do this? If I select the solid bodies, I can right click and 'Insert into new...

    Auto numbering with extrude

    I'm trying to create an extrude feature on a set of say 200 blocks of the same exact size. Instead of creating a Text curve and extruding it on each block. I want do it for one of them say block 1 with text 1 extruded, and then have it repeat to the next 199 blocks, extruding 2, then 3, then...

    Customer Defaults Issue

    They save but they don't seem to be applied. They worked in NX 8.5 but not 9. I've saved the settings, rebooted NX rebooted PC. I'm assuming this has something to do with how the company I work for has NX installed? (Read/Write settings) This particular computer has four different versions of...

    Macros stopped working from 8.5 to 9

    I have tried creating new macros and tried journals too but I'm unable to get them to work again. What I need to do is place four views in drafting top, bottom, projected right, then I select each four views, then ran my macro. The macro would turn hidden lines on, change dimension size...

    Preferences - Grid - Snap to Grid Rectangular Uniform Major Grid Spacing 0.125 Minor Lines 1 Snap points per Minor 1 Am I doing something wrong? This feature seems to only work properly on horizontal dimensions. The snap itself still works on vertical dimensions but doesn't comply to the...

    NX 9 Dimensioning Stinks!!

    I'm trying, I really am. We just upgraded from 8.5 to 9 so I'm trying to be patient and learn the new system but my team's drafting productivity has went down dramatically. I just don't understand why you'd fix something that wasn't broken... When placing a 'Rapid Dimension', often times I...

    System Attribute for Volume?

    I'm trying to include an attribute to a note in drafting to measure the volume of all solids in the part file. Is this possible using Expressions, if so - could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance Joe

    NX 8.5 & 9 Hole Table Question

    Any particular reason the highlighted areas in the hole table picture attached aren't condensed into one? Seems redundant to have the same callout in the table for multiple holes.(and it takes up space) I've played around with the hole table settings with no luck in correcting. I know I can...

    Hole Series Feature on A Group

    I am wondering if there is a way to select multiple solids for the subtract boolean when using the hole series feature. I thought of creating a group with all of the solids I wanted would maybe work but no joy. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! Joe

    Layers Visible in View

    Is it possible to use this feature on multiple views at once? It allows me to select all the views, but when I make specific layers visible/invisible and apply, it only works on the original view, not the projected or section views. Also I've tried selecting the entire sheet, that doesn't work...

    NX 9.0 to 8.5 Step Translation Issue

    We just upgraded to NX 9.0 and some of our team is still using NX 8.5 so when we receive 9.0 data, we translate down so our designers can still use 8.5. So what I do is take the 9.0 prt file and export into a step using the STEP AP203(9.0 version) to a new directory. Then I'll use STEP...

    Question about Hole Table feature

    Does anyone know of a way to make the hole table feature automatically map the holes to be in order from right to left or clockwise.(From the zero-corner) Currently, when designing and drafting the hole locations in our symmetrically opposite molds, the labeling is all over the place making...
