    How to make model lines show up on drawing?

    This used to work prior to NX9... Now we have NX9 and... Picture this... I draw a solid model of a cylinder. Pretend that's the bolt. Then I draw another cylinder. Pretend that's the nut. Then I draw a centerline between the two, kinda like what you might see on an exploded drawing. Your...

    How can I show the cylindrical centerline in NX5?

    I'm using NX 5.0.4.1. In modeling mode, When I measure the distance to the center of a cylinder, a centerline appears that I can pick. It's like the drafting mode centerline utility symbol. Is there any way I can turn these modeling centerline utility symbols on so that I can use them? Thanks...

    Loading really large files?

    The machines at our main location are having a problem loading really large files. They say it takes about 40 minutes to load a large file, and sometimes it just crashes NX. There are 4 machines there, and all of them well exceed the NX system requirements. Meanwhile, at our satellite...

    How do I import a step file to lightweight ref set?

    I've been on NX3 for what seems like forever. A few weeks ago they gave me NX5. It worked well. I was able to import a step file... which loaded as a lightweight reference set. I then did a file export to .jt, and my resulting file was about a meg. Everything was well! Then last week they gave...
