    Curves in drawing view

    Hello Is there a way for NX to treat curve like body in drafting?... So that If the curves or part of the curves are behind the body in some view, then they are hidden. Usually, if you have some component represented just by curves in assembly (e.g. dxf) and you want to show it in drawing, NX...

    NX 8.5 PC configuration

    We are planning to update to NX 8.5 win7 64 (currently nx6), and in the process upgrade/replace our old workstations. Since the budget is limited I was wondering whether should we concentrate more on cpu or gpu? There are few xeon's which are not more expensive then i5/i7. (As far as I know ECC...

    Hole Table

    Hi, when I create hole table (insert->table->hole table) nx doesn't list them in the same order as I picked them. What is the problem? It's pretty annoying, since I have a lot of holes to put in table. I'm using nx6. Thanks.

    Inherit feature parameters

    A small suggestion...maybe useful, I'm not sure if something like this already exist (I haven't seen it), but I would like to see "inherit feature parameters" option. For example when you place a feature (e.g. hole) or user defined feature and later you need to create similar or exactly the...

    Through curves

    Not Specified – the flow direction is straight through to the opposite side. Isoparametric – the flow direction follows the isoparametric direction (U or V) of the constraint surface. Normal – the flow direction is normal to the base edge of the constraint surface. Are there any...

    drafting - hidden lines

    Is there a way to control the depth for which nx displays hidden lines? (Something like a base point in break out section) The thing is that when model is complex and I need to show some hidden edges, I get like trillion lines. Thanks.

    Intersection curves

    I have few sheets, tangent to each other, (extruded, tc mesh,...) which are sewed. This sewed sheets are thickened (I had to increase the tolerance a bit, to be able to do that). Now i need intersection curves of that new surface (which is "offset" created by thicken). Problem is that I keep...

    Through curve mesh

    Is there a way to control the shape of tcm, by moving alignment points like in through curves? thanks

    Drafting warning message

    Can someone please explain this message and how to remove the cause of it? it appeared few times so far on some older drawings (when opening them). Part cleanup sometimes helps or at least I think. Thanks.

    Generating similar models

    I would like to create for example a 100+ similar models which are all of equal shape but have different dimensions (parameters). Model is simple. Dimensions which are not constant would be defined by expressions. Is there a way to do something like that automatically, do I have to write some...

    Spline Associativity

    Why splines which are made in sketch are not associative? If a start or end point of a spline is attached to some line with G2 or G1 constraint, and line is later moved, G1 and G2 constraints are lost. But if a spline is drawn outside sketch then it is associative. Thanks

    Few questions: drafting, splines,...

    1. Where can I turn off automatic view alignment in drafting? 2. I have two curves where the second curve is made by mirroring the first curve. Now I want to connect these two curves with spline. Will spline be symmetrical with respect to the mirror plane if I use the same constraint condition...

    Sheet tangency

    Is there a way to tell nx(6) to make a sheet (mesh, surface,...) tangent to a datum plane or other sheets, but not just at the ends. For example, as seen on the picture, when I want to create arc between these 3 blue curves I just have to set it to be tangent to all three of them. I don't know...

    Through curve mesh continuity

    I'm having problems with connecting through curve mesh with body (body is made of extrude and sewed sheets, which are united),.to be precise with continuity between mesh and body faces. I have tried to set it to be G1, but it doesn't look good visually (at the place where sewed body touches...

    Intersection

    example: i'm creating a (part)body by extruding two sketches, and these 2 pads intersect (i can't use limits in that case). is it allowed for them to intersect, to just leave them like that, or in that case i must make one of those extruded elements as a new body, and then use boolean...
