    NX 9 Launches But Won't Open File On Double Click

    I installed NX10 to open a newer file but we use NX9 to stay current with GM. I changed the system variables back for NX9, now when I double click a .prt file a new session of NX9 launches but the .prt file won't load. Any suggestions? Thanks! DieMan

    Trimmed Surface Color

    I have subtracted a solid from a solid (2 different colors) and the surface remaining had to color of the subtraction tool.

    Drafting Dimensions

    Is there anyway of going back to NX 8 style? Having to search through all these menus and pull downs is ridiculous. Its taking me 3-4 times longer is detail a simple block not to mention more complex details, and the datum dimensioning is really cumbersome.[banghead] We migrated because GM did...

    Inherit settings for dimensions

    In NX 9 when I go to settings on a dimension and go to inherit, it always defaults to "preferences". I always use "selected object" I could not find anything in customer defaults to change it. Is there a way to fix this? Jeff NX 9.0.2.5

    Unable to reassociate datum dimension

    DIMENSION POPUP

    When selecting a dimension, I get a popup for settings and etc. Is there a way to disable this or lock it into a position? I'm trying to select multiple dimensions (over 100) and I keep clicking on that popup because it falls on top of the dimensions I'm trying to select. Jeff NX 9.0.2.5 Native

    Rendering Issue After NX 9 Migration

    The NX 9 migration has not been smooth. I have noticed an issue with the graphics rendering, see attached. I don't think GTAC will be much help since last time I had a graphics issue they said there isn't much they can do since it's not a certified work station (our IT dept. built it because...

    I am trying to determine the best method to deform a stretch web. I have a starting shape, and attachment points, I was wondering is there is a method to pull one end to the new attachment point and the web will stretch and deform as long as there is enough material. I attached a picture...

    Transform Question

    I looked though previous questions regarding transform in 7.5 but did not see what I was looking for. In NX5, I could transform (move the position of a solid body) for example 1.00 inches by choosing the vector and setting the distance and finish by clicking "ok". If I knew I wanted to move it 2...

What I'm looking to create is...
