I am currently in need of a PC based language translator. I have a large number of Word documents that are in Chinese that need to be translated to English. The free web based translators (like Google translate) are not an option due to the large volume of documents, pain with the cut and paste...
Trying to figure out if anyone publishes design information on extrude and tap threaded hole forming (i.e. flowdrill). I'm mostly interested in knowing what size, amount of threads etc. that the extrusion will have based on material thickness and thread size. Any help would be appreciated.
Hopefully this is not an off the wall question, I come from a background of specifying hardware by using a MIL-Spec and dash number to describe exactly the part I want. For example, in the old days I would call out MS51957-3 and I knew I was going to get a “Screw, Machine, Pan Head, 2-56 x...
We have recently upgraded to NX5 and have a few weird problems.
When creating drawings (start blank part - insert part) everything seems to work fine and we are able to create the drawing. If we go back to the model and make an update to the part we lose most if not all dimensions in the...

Is anyone using a 3DConnexion Spaceball 5000 with NX5/Windows XP 64Bit machine? We acquired new workstations and just found out that we can't get the Spaceballs to work. It doesn't look like there are any drivers for use with XP 64Bit from 3DConnexion. Anyone know of a workaround? I hate the...
This is a minor annoyance that has finally bothered me to the point of asking for some tips.
When using the "Open Part File" dialog window, all the files are shown in "list" format (see view menu button). I would like the files to be displayed in "detailed" format so I can sort the files by...
I am currently using NX3 and have a question regarding using a VPN to connect to the UG License Server. Once the VPN is established and I launch NX3, what will happen if the connection is lost? Will NX3 continue to run? Or will it die like Teamcenter does at the office if the network connection...

I'm having trouble locating a supplier of swivel hex nuts (metric). I've been all over the net, Thomas Register etc. today and have struck out (Although I did find inch parts at McMaster-Carr). Maybe I'm using the wrong name. The part I need is a hex nut with an attached washer that rotates...
Is there a proper method for dimensioning a blended radius? My part has a 3mm radius about the perimeter that blends down to 1mm at the mounting locations. Other than putting a leader on the drawing stating "blended radius" is there a better way to do this? 14.5 doesn't seem to cover this. In...
