    Updating Save View in Drawing

    Is there anyway that you can do an update on a drawing that uses a saved view? For example I create a view in Modeler. Go to drawing insert that view. Then I decide it's not the right angle for the view so change the view and save it over the previous one. Now when I go back to the drawing I...

    Color/Line Format Settings

    Can anyone help me find some of the settings for colors? I know that you go to Preferences->Visualizations, but I don't know from there. For example, I am looking to change the color of a reference line in a sketch from gray to yellow. Or the color that dimensions are displayed in sketcher...

    "Construction" Lines

    Is there a way to use a type of "construction" line in UG NX2? I have just started using it and I was working on Pro-E Wildfire 2 where you use a sketcher with added commands (extrude, revolve, sweep, etc.). In Wildfire you can use construction lines in your sketches so that you have something...

    Format of Hole Notes

    I have a question about hole notes. I would like to change the default format that Wildfire 2 puts hole notes in. I know that you have to change it in the .hol files, but I don't know what to put in there. Also is there a config option that I need to change in order for it to read it correctly...

    Default Text Height

    I know this may seem like a primitive question. But how do I alter the default text height along with some of the other dimensions that are in the drawing_units option? I can't find the option to do any alterations to it. Or is there an much easier way to do it that alter the config file...

    Thread Notes

    How do I change the format of a thread note callout? I looked in the help guide, and it said that you have to change it in the callout_not configuration. But I didn't see a option for that in the config. options. Is there any easier way to do this or am I just missing the option? Thanks,

    Parameters

    Can anyone give me a good basic description of what a parameter is? How it is used? How relations and Parameters are related? I am looking into using them for one of my class projects, but I can't find any good resources telling me about how to use them. Thanks for the help.

    Start Parts & Parameters

    Is there a tutorial anywhere that I can get to see the easiest way to create start parts and edit parameters? Because I have not used parameters at all and it seems that they are the basis for setting up everything to do with drawing formats, which is what I am looking for.

    Drawing Format Edit

    How do I make a format so that it pulls the user name, date, filename straight from the computer? As opposed to putting notes in the drawing everytime? Thanks

    Purge Mapkey

    I have read about several people being able to make a purge mapkey. Which takes all the previous versions of a file and purges them into one so that it cleans up the number of files that you have. But I don't know how to do it. Can anyone give some instructions on how to do it? thanks for the help

    Creating Mapkeys

    I am looking for some help when creating mapkeys in Pro-E Wildfire 2. I want to make a mapkey that fixes the saved views once I edit one. The place that I worked had written a program that automatically did it for them once the clicked an icon. I was just wondering if I could create a mapkey...
