Did the Blend Corner command get moved to a different license bundle recently? When I try to use it I get a License Error -10099. I've used it plenty of times before when I work on castings, although it's been a while since I last used it. Now it won't work.
We're on version 2011 build 1903...
First off, there's something weird going on with the search here for me. It won't find any threads pertaining to "balloon", when I can clearly see a thread with balloon in the title on page 2. Won't find anything for "sketch" either.
Anyways, I have a bunch of balloons on a drawing that I can't...
I'm trying to create a datum plane and I want it to be normal to a plane and through a curve which resides on that plane. The curve is a straight line that was sketched. I can't seem to do this by just selecting the curve and the plane. I've tried Inferred, Curves and Points, and probably a...
For some odd reason I think we're just now finding out that entity colors and the default color palette has changed in NX6, and again in NX7.5. I don't know how we're just finding this out now, when we've been running 6 since about the beginning of the year, but I came across a part today that...
I have a weird problem in NX6. Turning on or off specific layers doesn't actually do anything in the part. I think someone may have been fooling around with Visible in View and that screwed something up somehow. I can Hide or Show features in the Part Navigator, but using layers is useless...
Is there a way to make datum points larger in NX6 Modeling? They're pretty small and they don't scale up when you zoom in. I have them set already to an obnoxiously bright color to try to stand out from everything else, but it would be better if they were bigger. I've looked through the...
Say I suppress the last feature of a model, such as a Trim Body. When I resume it the entire model regenerates. Depending on the model that may take a couple of minutes. I don't think it should matter to Feature 4 Curve if Feature 122 Trim Body is suppressed or not. I looked through the...
I have a question about the Arc Length dimension in NX6 (6.0.2.8.). I'm attaching a pic that will show what I'm talking about. You'll see that the 10.420 dimension looks like one would expect when it's on the inside of the section, but when it's moved to the outside the witness lines change to...
I've searched around and couldn't find anything else pertaining to my question. I want to 'erase' some hidden lines in a drawing view but can't because the edge continues around the part and becomes a solid line that I don't want erased. Picture the threads on a beverage bottle. I want to get...
I'm working on an NX5 drawing that someone else created. There is a section view on it with no crosshatching. Crosshatching is still checked in the Style menu, so I think he changed the crosshatching spacing until it wasn't visible any more. Well I want it visible now but I can't select it to...
I get a little yellow triangle with an excamation point in it next to a feature in the Part Navigator every once in a while. So far they've only been next to sketches. I assumed it meant "Hey CAD guy, look at me, there's something wrong here, you should probably fix it." But wjen I go back into...
Lately I've been including what is basically a shaded ISO view of my part in my drawings. I modify the view and change the Shaded setting to Fully Shaded or whatever it is. I then turn off the lines in the view through View Dependent Edit. The problem occurs when I make a PDF. The lines that...
Ok, this one sounds too easy, but I can't find it anywhere. Previously I turned off the section lines in a view. I'm talking about the big arrows and letters you get when you create a section view. Now I want to display those arrows and letters, but I can't figure out how to turn them back on...
Where I work we want to make the outlines of the part in our drawing views a heavier line weight than the rest of the lines. So far the only way I've been able to do this is by creating a curve at the intersection of surfaces in the part, changing the lineweight of the curve and putting it on a...
What the heck is a Bad Function Name? When I try to save my part I get an error saying that because of this it won't save. When the part was first created I didn't have any problems. I've gone back now and made some modifications and now can't save.
This is NX 5.0.0.25. I searched the forum...
Ok, I got one problem solved. Time to move on to my ever growing list. ; )
I have been charged with getting NX set up for when the rest of the designers here move from IDEAS to NX. I chose to do this by trying to set everything up on a network drive so things only have to be changed or added in...
Just recently, when creating a sketch in a part using my start part, I get a coordinate system created in the Part Navigator also. I can delete it after the fact without a problem, but it's a little annoying to have to do that every time. I've checked preferences and in the customer defaults but...
Ok, I don't have much more hair to pull out, so I figure I may as well try to find an answer. Sometimes when I start NX5 and open a part, the Details and Dependencies do not show up at the bottom of the Part Navigator, They're not collapsed or minimized, they are just simply not there.
I have...
Can somebody tell me if there's a way to turn leading zeroes off in the Customer Defaults? I can edit the dimensions after I creat them and turn them off, but I haven't found anywhere to set them so that they're off whenever I create a dimension. This is in NX5.
TIA

We're trying to install NX5 on machines running Win2000. I realize that Win2000 is not supported anymore, but is there absolutely no way to get it installed? I get an error saying that a DLL can't be run and the install stops. Is this impossible to do?
