    Where in 14.5 is...?

    Where in 14.5 does it state that we don't need to show the length in both the left and right views; that we assume it's the same unless otherwise noted? In the attached image, I've shown both sides because one side needs to be masked and the other does not. Just like we assume two edges are...

    Reuse Pattern

    My employer uses the Master Model system where all original geometry is contained in one CatPart, Published and then Copy-Paste-Special into their respective parts. At higher level assemblies we add our Fasteners which are all contained within their own CatProduct. I'd like to utilize the Reuse...

    Delete a Component From a Part Family

    I've got one part in my NX 8.5 Part Family that I'd like to delete. How do I do this? I could delete it from TeamCenter 9 but not the spreadsheet of my part family. Thanks, Matthew

    Model Sketches in NX 8.5

    I have a sketch that I've drawn on one of the surfaces of my 3D model. (The sketch represents a boundary that the vendor needs to pay attention to.) Now I'm making my drawing and want to know if it's possible to make this sketch visible in my drawing view so that I don't have to recreat the...

    NX 8.5 and Part Families

    I created a Part Family in NX8.5 and Teamcenter 9. (It was an NAS1805 nut with less than 20 parts.) The first file I created, I added my initials to the filename in case anything went awry. All of the components were created successfully and checked in to TC. When I was happy with the results...

    Delta Note in NX8.5

    Greetings! Our company switched to NX8.5 from SolidWorks about 6 months ago. I joined the team two months ago and haven't had much formal training in NX8.5... Thus far, most of the work has been in modeling and assemblies and now it's time for some drafting. I'm starting a new drawing and want...

    NX 8.5, Space Pilot Pro and the Print Screen Key

    I'm trying to set one of my Space Pilot Pro keys to utilize the "Print Screen" button. Since the function does not exist in the list provided (that I can find) I tried to create a custom function. When I select "New" under Custom Functions in the Space Pilot menu and select the "Print Sreen" key...

    Solidworks and Windchill

    Our company is in the unusual position where we are using Solidworks (currently 2009) and Windchill (a PTC or Pro/E product for our PDM. Does anyone have any experience with this configuration? More specifically, we need a macro to rename a batch of files (that is to say, many parts and...

    MAX Dimensions

    Would a length dimension ever be modified by MAX? Because zero (0) is less than the MAX would that be acceptable? I could understand a corner with a R.020 MAX meaning that a near-sharp corner is just as acceptable as R.020. So in what other applications would the MAX modifier be used...

    Importing Images

    I have a graphic (company logo) that I'd like to import into SolidWorks so that I can trace over the image as opposed to trying to free hand it in a sketch. Is it possible to do this? Thanks for your time! Matthew

    V5 R18 Countersunk Diameter

    How to you add a countersink symbol to the front of a diameter dimension? I can link a line of text to the dimension, but I'm looking for something in the dimension's properties, if it exists. Thanks! Matthew

    Dynamic Sketcher History

    I have a question of an historical nature: Was SolidWorks the first CAD program to utilize the dynamic sketcher? If not, which program was? Thanks, Matthew

    Display Change

    Two questions: (1) I'm making a revision to an older drawing and the vertical dimensions have the numerals displayed vertically. How do I get them to display horizontally. (2) When I move my cursor into a view, aqua blue squares appear showing the constraints/relations of various entities...

    Welding Components Flush

    I have a welded assy where two components are line-on-line. Is the fact that they are line-on in the dwg descriptive enough or would some GD&T be needed? I had thought of a profile tolerance of the entire surface. Would a note, such as, "surfaces flush" be adequate? Thank you, Matthew
