Beginning with NX11, when switching windows, an automatic change of the application is executed. This means, that the part changes to the application in which it has been last saved. (drafting mode / model mode) While I see the benefits of this, is there an option to not automatically change...
I recently moved from nx10 to nx11. Ever since, I have noticed than when I create a wave link feature, the new wave link geometry is automatically assigned to an existing reference set. Is there a way to control this behavior? Thanks.
I have customized the "view radial shortcut" with commands/icons I use often. I recently upgraded from nx10.? to nx10.0.3.5. Ever since then my customizations on the "view radial shortcut" menu add/loses icons. I reloaded my role which fixes the radial back to customized, closed the session to...
When I updated from nx8.5 to nx9 my macros no longer worked. With nx8.5 I simply recorded my menu selections to create the macro. Here is an example of one of my macros: select and existing dimension, then run the macro to change the font, size, add parenthesis, etc. I have recreated the macro...
Hello. I use ordinate dimensions usually with no issues. But for some unknown reason, an arrow between the "0" origin and the dimension extension line started showing up. Also, this arrow has a circle at the origin as though it were a radius point. Need help finding the setting to remove the...
I am trying to add text curves to a sketch. I seem to remember being able to: insert-curve-text. But after upgrading to nx9 can't figure it out. Any suggestions? Thanks.
When viewing an assembly I like to see each component in a different color. I try always to use the "apply same color to wireframe..." when creating a component. But when I open an assembly that has not been set up this way already, it can take too much time to change the options for each...
I have an igs file that has multiple points, multiple curves, and one surface in it. When i open that file in solidworks all i get is the one surface. Is there a trick to importing the points and curves? Thanks.

I imported an STL but when I try to make a drawing, the drawing view is blank. There appears to be something there because I see the drawing properties when click on the space. But nothing is visible. Any suggestions? Thanks.
In the past, while using sw07, I would create a new component by "insert - component - new part". Then I would be prompted to name the new component. I have noticed that since updating to sw09 solidworks names the component for me. Does anyone know if there is a setting to allow naming within...
When creating an angular dimension I used to see the degree (°) symbol. But since upgrading to 2009 I now see the letters "deg" in the dimension. I have searched help and options but cannot figure out how to get the symbol back. Any help welcome. Thanks.
I recently created an assembly requiring multiple components. I am not sure how it happend, but somehow one of the components was created in a different folder than the other components. I would like to keep this assembly file along with its components within the same folder. I moved the file...
When i try to open a component, the assembly it was created in opens also (with all of its compenents). I thought i remembered there being an option to turn this off but cant find it. Anyone know where that option is? - Thanks.
I recently installed 2008sp2.1 on Windows Vista. Now when I open a part, other parts are opening along with the main assembly. Not all components are opening but strangely, those that open are not even associated with the one I need to open. Thanks.

I am trying to dimension (in a drawing) to the tangent of a hole. But the dimension goes to center of the hole. Is there a way to dimension to a tangent without having to first draw a point on the circle?
I have been given a project that requires an assembly of a tool. Once the tool is finished, another tool is required that will be a mirror image of the first. Is there a way to mirror the assembly models and remain associative? (the drawing will probably have to be mirrored as well)
Any...
I have a multiple sheet drawing. I tried to change a line color by modifying the "component line font" for sheet-1. I didnt like the results so I changed it back. When I tabbed over to sheet-2, I noticed that it had changed colors also. So I changed it back to the default line-font. But then the...
Ever since I upgraded to SW2007 my drawing dimensions cannot be located just anywhere. They snap to locations at increments of about .50" or so. I have searched thru my settings and unchecked grid & settings but it still does it. Has anyone else seen this?
Since I upgraded to swx07, I have not been able to achieve the same draft quality. Even now when I plot from swx06 everything looks fine. But when I plot from swx07, the lines are very light and hard to read.
Is there a setting I have missed?
