    Hello, I am trying to automate a NX 2027 sketch by embedding an Excel file into the NX file. The Excel file is already written and has some extensive calculations. I would like to take that existing file and put it into a master NX file so the sketch will change based on some key expressions...

    Setting the width of navigator windows in NX3

    Does anyone know if you can adjust the width of the part and assembly navigator windows? With the amount of "variables" I have turned on I have to constantly scroll to see what I need and I would really love to know how to make it wider so I can see what I want without scrolling. Is this...
