    ID balloon text changes

    Using NX 7.5 and have had a couple of drawings exhibit the following: Identification Symbols attached to a component and either left the text field blank or manually filled it with the proper callout number change upon updating the Parts List in the BOM. The ID symbol now displays a "square...

    Modeling text suitable for machining?

    Using NX4, soon to change to NX5 or NX6. We build models of parts to be either sand or permold cast. Text (part number, strength, Pat #, etc) is required to be cast in the part as raised letters. Character height=0.125 and must extend 0.031 above surrounding surface. Standard fonts always seem...

    Laser Scanning

    We are considering the purchase of laser scanning equipment. If you have experience in the selection and use of the same to ultimately get to a solid model in UG, your insights would be appreciated. So far, we have only looked at the Minolta Vivid 910 scanner and GeoMagic Shape Studio software.

    Part became READ ONLY while loaded

    Was working in a small assembly and switching back and forth between a couple of parts making edits to each model. I usually save before changing to another part and one time could not save a part. It had become read only. I had already made changes to this part and saved it during this same...

    Hardware recomendations?

    Looking for hardware recomendations -- new workstations may be in the works for next year, but need pricing now. Most of our modeling is for metal castings. A typical part may have 250-350 features: 20% basic extrusions and revolutions 30% free form shapes 50% edge blends and...

    Make Current Feature problem

    Had a fairly complex model with no problems found using the examine geometry analysis. After making an earlier feature current, I added a blend. Upon attempting to make the last feature current, received a 'memory access violation' error. Even upon deleting the last blend added, was still...

    How to create new material in library?

    We desire to add approximately four new materials to the material library. Does anyone know how to do this? My only thought is to edit the phys_material.dat file. Is that permitted? a good/poor choice?

    Area of cross section

    In the Drafting Application, we creat a number of cross sections. We need to have the area of each cross section. Is there something obvious I'm missing. My work around has been to go back into Modeling and split the part with a plane at the appropriate location and then did an Analysis-Area...
