Hi all, I want to use a plug weld symbol on a drawing. Referring to the ISO standard, it states that the symbol has the dia of the plug before the symbol, with the dimensions (qty x pitch) following the symbol. This is fine for a set of plug welds in a line, but what if you had a pattern of...

Hi All, I've just managed to work out how to use 'arrangements' in assemblies in the modelling environment. I have a component shown in 3 different positions. Is it possible to show the three different arrangements in one view in drafting? I've be trying for the last few hours and searched all...

Hi all, We have just upgraded our machines from NX4 to NX5. We are due to go live in the New Year and so we are carrying out some initial testing to ensure all is well. We have one machine that has a little problem in calling a UTD dialog box in NX5. The UTD box flashes for a split second (if...

Hi guys, Hope you can help. I have created a thread using the sweep command around a helix curve on a shaft. I want to attach the helix to the end of the shaft so that when I increase the shaft length, the helix will follow. Any ideas? Many thanks, Andy. --------------------- (Using: UG...

Hi Guys, Does anyone know of a way of plotting a series of PRT files without having to open each file individually? I was hoping for some form of command line method so it can be performed outside of NX. I looked at the help menu, but the closest it gives is using NXPLOT to plot CGM, JPEG and...

Hi Guys, We have just upgraded from NX2 to NX4. We have previously used a GRIP function for automating a plot function (written by another engineer). We have had several problems in converting the GRIP routine to NX4. So, I'd like to look into writing a program using the methods supported by...

Hi Guys, We are upgrading to NX4 and was wondering if there is a way (other than using templates) to load a layer configuration into a part file when first created (similar to customer defaults in NX4). We have template files with all the layers set-up, but getting some engineers into the...

Hi Guys, If a dimension becomes dettached from some geometry on a drawing, is there a way re-linking the dimension without deleting it and inserting a new one? I've looked at the NX2 help files and they seem to suggest using the 'Feature Parameters' on the Drafting Annotation toolbar, but I...

Hi Guys, When I insert a user-defined symbol, it comes in slightly larger than when it was created. I've ensured that the Symbol Factor during creation is at default 0.0. I've also played with changing it to 1.0, but still with no luck. Any ideas? Many Thanks, Andy (Using UG NX2)...

Hi Guys, I'm just about to re-vamp our company layer set-ups. The ones we currently use are out of date and engineers don't seem to be adhering to them anyway. So I'd like to get all our engineers back on path using a new company layer set-up. So what do you guys use? Any suggestions? We...

Hi Guys, I'm trying to create a Macro to simplify importing of DXF files. When I record the macro, it records the EXACT file that I initially imported... but I want the macro to allow the user to select a different file. IS THIS POSSIBLE? Any ideas in how to allow this if it is possible? I...

Hi Guys, I'm trying to create a circular array, but the results are not too good. It's basically a tapered shaft with fins along the taper that have a blend radius at their base. I've created one fin just as I want using sketch and sweeping it along the taper. So far so good!! However, when...

Hi Guys, We have just introduced NX2 from V18. In version 18, when the Plot dialogue box opened, the plot server was always set to the correct one. However, in NX2 I have to select Change Plot Server in order to point it to the correct server. Is there anyway I can set the default plot...

Hi Guys, I understand that ISO 2768-1 is a tolerancing standard for 'linear & angular dimensions'. Why doesn't it cover radial and diameterical (spelling?) dimensions? What standard should be referred to for radial dimensions? Many thanks, Andy.

Hi Guys, I'm trying to create a plot file from UG V18. I've tried using the "Build Plot File" function within the Plot Menu, but I can't seem to locate the file it creates. I'm not even sure if it has created one?! Hope you can help me. Thanks, Andy.

Hi Guys, Is there a way to unlink a Detail View from it's parent view in UG Drafting? I'd like to modify the model but ensure the detail view remains unchanged. If there is no easy way, is there a way I can export the Detail View as a DXF, and re-import it as a seperate entity? Cheers...
