Working in NX9 and creating additional section lines without a view. Reason is to show the section line in numerous locations to aid in assembly interpretation. Of course when adding the section line the label with the arrows changes to the next allowable letter. I want the label to be the same...
would someone please explain to me what the icon in the drawing navigator means.
When I add a base view of a component (only assembly files) that has been added to the drawing file, I get two components to unpack, 77x2087-101 files as shown in the attachment. one has the icon that looks like a...
NX9 drafting preference.
Somehow the settings preference for my Datum Feature symbol has changed from filled datum to unfilled datum. Isn't the setting in drafting preferences to change it or is it in customer defaults?
I know how to change it on the fly but filled datum is our standard setting...

Has anybody discovered a better way to associate notes, balloons etc to other drafting entities vs associative with a distance factor.
I know this method has been out there for a long, long time. Just wondering if anyone knows of a better way.
Catia lets you do it in a...

Our cad structure is add the component to the drawing shown in the bottom component of the tree in attached file.
the file above it with the drawing format icon was added to the drawing file when the views were placed on the drawing. this is not our practice and also...
When creating a dimension of any sort that requires a stub on the leader line and I want to change the leader from left to right or right to left side of the dimension, I change it as needed, but when I reposition the dimension sometimes it resets itself to the original side. Anybody know of a...
In NX9 when creating a pdf of a drawing, the filled datums symbols are not appearing filled in the pdf as they are on the drawing.
We create our pdfs of drawings with a journal. I have also exported a pdf of a sheet and of the current display with the same results.
They appear as shown in...

I would like to create an associated centerline between 2 holes shown in top view (see attachment).
The centerline needs to be equidistant between the 2 holes.
I have done a non associated work around creating a line in the member view between the 2 holes and change the...
Working in NX9 and having issues with attaching a datum symbol to the feature control frame. I got it once and don't remember what I did (got to write these things down). Usually I use the appended text editor to create the feature control frame associated with the dimension but after using the...
Drafting in NX9 and having issues re-associating dimensions, labels, ID symbols, Feature control frames, etc.
Regardless if it has been a major model update or minor I am having issues re-associating entities.
When I double click the entity to edit I get the message 'Disassociated leader or...
Our engineering group is working on a new large project in NX9 and we are just starting to use the PMI dimensions from the model to create the drawings. I noticed that when adding the model views with PMI in it that all dimensions, text, drafting entities are created inside the member view...
Working in NX9 and having an issue reassociating a leader from an ID symbol and text or note.
when attempting to reassociate to an edge of a diameter (ie washer) or possibly a radius, when reselecting the terminating object the diameter circle appears and wants to place the tip of the arrow on...
Our company just installed nx9 this week. Siemens was in earlier for the transition training which of course cannot cover everything, especially drafting.
My question is in regards to detail views. We use circular and rectangular boundaries for detail views with the leader attached to the...
I am checking a drawing that our design center in India created. It consists of a single view which has been sectioned. it appears to be a section view but there is no parent view listed in the drawing navigator. All geometry in the view is based off of the model. I have checked for view...
We are using NX5 in our drafting group. When one individual is exporting a multi-sheet drawing file as a pdf, occasionally it will create sheet 2 as yellow on a white background. We have tried to create the pdf of only sheet 2 and still have the same results, yellow on white. we want black on...
I currently use an old grip program to list x & y locations of holes in a chart. Unfortunately the values are not associated with the geometry.
Somehow I stumbled on a Swiss EDS site that uses UGopen API execute to create a chart, dimension the holes in the chart and are associated with one...
We are currently using ugv18052. When building plots we assign widths to the colors, 1-15. My problem is the designers like to use the colors beyond 15 for modeling. Naturally when we plot sometimes we dont see these other colors in the model until after the plot and get unhappy results. One...
I am currently using v18.0.5.2. On our drawings we use blockfont but on all view labels ie A-A and section lines we use Hel-bold-con. When creating views with labels it automatically uses the current font setting of block font and we are constantly having to change the font in the text editor...
