    Trying to access the clipboard when recording a journal

    I have a separate bit of software that generates an empty part file, and also copies the part name to the clipboard. Because the empty part has 'TBC' as it's name in the part attributes table I wish to record a journal that updates this attribute to whatever is saved in the clipboard at the...

    Is there a way to set the default layer for the original coordinate system when I start a new model?

    As per the title, can I somewhere set the default or start layer for my new models? Mine seems to default to 61 for some reason and I can't find out where to change it. I'm sick of having to set it manually each time.

    How do I create a clip section in an assembly between two axis?

    Is there any way to generate an involute spline in NX?

    As per the title, is there an easy way to generate an involute (ANSI) spline for NX? I have played around with the gear grip code and I am not getting very food results for 45 degree splines. I have also tried the MITCalc spline program but it doesn't give the option for changing the spline type...

    Middle Mouse Button refuses to rotate the model

    I've recently installed NX11 on my laptop. Everything works fine, however I can't rotate or pan the model using the middle mouse button. I've gone out and bought a new mouse and that still doesn't solve it. NX acknowledges MB2 is pressed as it shows two concentric orange circles, however it does...
