    What is the best way to turn an assembly into a solid part...

    ...with the interior etheir completely filled or removed. i.e., I only want the exterior surfaces and could care less about the internals. NX505 Also would like this to be easy as possible, don't want to have to manually select all the exterior surfaces or anything like that. I've been...

    and have them remain associative to the spreadsheet? for instance if I want to put a hole chart on my drawing that is driven by the spreadsheet option, can I somehow link that to my point sketch?

    Truncating/Folding Linear Dim Extension Lines

I have a detail view of a revolved cross section and love the fact that you can dimension across views to get the real dimension and keep associativity with it.

Now we have learned to live with it so to speak, to use clock or other techniques which do not work as well. But now the problem is when migrating I-Deas data into NX (NX5 BTW) all...

    Copying Data from Drawing to Drawing

    Having trouble copying data from one drawing to another. Specifically 2D sketches and text. I've tried a straight copy and paste, I've tried copying the view (2D data view). I've tried pasting into the sheet on the navigator, I've tried pasting into new views. What am I missing here?
