    Title block sizes on A1, A2, A3

    Hi I am currently redesigning our title blocks in line with BS8888, and have an interesting problem, which if possible I would like advice on. BS 8888 dictates that you use one common size title block across all three sheet sizes (180mm wide) which in itself is not a problem, but we commonly...

    SLC and CLI exports from NX

    Does anyone know anything about exporting to SLC and CLI formats, and will they ever be available to export from NX? My understanding is that it slices a solid model ready for 3D printing. Rhino appear to be doing some work on this, but from looking around I can't see that any of the main CAD...

    Why Direct Sketch?

    Hi I am still unsure by the use of "Direct Sketch", over "Sketch in Task Environment", so if someone could explain why we have two methods I would be very appreciative? Personally I find it far cleaner using the Environment method, but worry that one day it will be taken away. Regards Martyn

    Hole calout symbols

    Hi We currently work to BS8888, and previously BS308, and I would like to know if there is anywhere that specifies the use of Hole Callout symbols, in preference to the tradition annotation (CSK, C/BORE, etc)? These symbols are readily available in most CAD packages, but I don not want to use...

    NX/Teamcenter Refile

    As a company we have been using Teamcenter and NX for 20 years, but have never done any sort of refile. Is this something that we should be looking at, and what benefits are we likely to see in the way of performance, and/or extra functionality? If we dont refile are we likely to see serious...
