    Having trouble exporting IGES files to solids

    NX 7.5.2.5 The iges files I create to export to Catia V5 R18 come in as trimmed sheet bodies, not unparamaterized solids. The Step file translator for Catia isn't an option as the company won't purchase it for Catia.

    why does the "copy" function disappear in assemblies over time?

    UGNX 3 I notice that if I am in a session for a long period of time that the option to right mouse button "copy" a component will eventually disappear. Does it run out of memory to do the function or?
