    NX11 Drawing and points

    How do you get points to show up on the drawing when they are in the drawing file, not the linked part. If I move them to the part, they show up. Unfortunately, the part is locked in our PLM. Any ideas?

    NX9 - Drafting - Curves and points

    This may have been asked before, the quick search was unable to locate any information. Since NX9, I have not been able to use curves or points in the views of a drawing, if they reside in the drawing file. Only if they are in the model file using reference sets. Used to be able to do this...

    Nissan data, How are you handling the new method?

    With Nissan's new method of 3d annotation being separated in different files, how are you handling this data with your own internal PLM? We use SAP. I am not sure what the best method is for storing incoming data. Should we import all the extra parts into one common component file, or check...

    Dimension change to reference

    Is there an easy way to change a dimension to reference? Or, do you have to go into the properties after it's created then add the ()? Thank you.

    CGMs on Drawings - reducing the amounts of the entities

    NX7.5 We get drawings from GM. They are 11x17s. Our general practice is to just create CGMs and put them inside of our company drawing format. What we run into is one of those 11x17s can become 6000+ entities. I'd like to find a way to reduce the size and keep the integrity of the drawings...

    Transparent undocked menus, WIN7 64bit/NX7.5

    Anyone run into this. When you undock your Assembly/Part navigator windows, and they are not the active windows they become transparent. I figure this is a Win 7 'feature'. But anyone know how to disable this? I went into personalize, un-checked the transparent box and nothing. Thank you.

    NX5, Wave linked points, associative points and charts

    Currently using NX5.0. I have a file that contains just weld points in an assembly. I then wave linked those points into a drawing and created associative points (maybe a step that is not needed) to the wave linked points. What I am wondering is if I can get the X,Y,Z coordinates of those...

    NX5, Adding symbols into Tables

    To avoid any sort of headache downstream, is there a way to insert a symbol (this case, the triangle pointing up with text inside) in a table? I have searched around and have not had any luck finding anything. Thank you. Justin Justin Designer

    Leading Zeros (Dual dimensioning) Nx6

    Is there a way to remove the leading zeros on the inch dimension (metric is our primary dimension) when using dual dimension? I checked in customer defaults. I do see the radial to turn it off, but will it affect both dimensions? Thank you Justin Designer

    Ordinal 2821 error

    The ORDINAL 2821 could not be located in the dynamic link library LIBEAY32.dll. I get this pop up during the start up for NX 6.0. The only thing that's changed is a new space explorer driver and uninstalling of the space explorer for all cad systems except NX. Anyone have any idea for this...

    Parts list - Edit levels - NX6.0.4.3

    When I go to edit the levels of the part list, I am unable to select the parts in the assembly navigator to update the BOM properly. I have to exit out and come back in, then it works. Anyone have any ideas on this? Justin Designer
