    How to tell if parts have been refiled?

    Is there a way to tell if parts have been refiled during previous upgrades? Should there be a clue in the part history?

    NX5 Spellchecker journal

    There are assorted files and a readme in the folder where NX is installed to give you more information. Mine is in ...ugs050\UGOPEN\SampleNXOpenApplications\.NET\SpellChecker It looks pretty promising. Has anyone set this up? If so, does it work as expected? I assume you have to add all the...

    callouts/balloons in notes

    Shaded views on drawings

    Does anyone have any guidelines or comments about using shaded views on drawings? One concern is how well do they reproduce. Should they be used for pictorial or exploded views only? Or not at all, and if not, why not? One philosophy is that the more it looks like the real thing, the more people...
