Is there and easy way to check which version is installed on a PC. We have a 64 bit PC that is supposed to be loaded w/ 64 bit NX5, and I just need to verify that it isn't the 32 bit version.

Is there a place that I can hard code the material shrinkage factor for mold wizard. It currently defaults to 1.00 and we'd like to change that to something else. We generally use one material type, so hard coding the value to our shrinkage would be quite helpful. Thanks in advance.

We are having a discussion over whether 304 stainless and 18/8 are the same material. My arguement is that 18/8 is the "family" and 304 is a member of the family along with 304L, 304H, 302... basically, 304 stainless is an 18/8 steel, but 18/8 is not 304. I am not a material specialist, so...

In NX5 we have set a custom environment variable UGII_TEMPLATE_DIR= (directory) to point to modeling start parts. I would like to add a tab to point to manufacturing start parts and drafting start parts that will utilize the master modeling approach. Does anyone know how to go about starting...

Is there a ug font that contains the circle r, or that will accept alt+0174 and other alt combinations?

We have NX3 running on one server and NX5 running on a seperate server. If I do a server status query to see which licenses are being used it looks at the NX3 server. is there a way to change the server that it is looking at? We've tried looking around, but can't seem to find anything.

I want to preface this post with an appology for my extreme ignorance in the manufacturing side of NX. In NX3 and 4, our programmers used an operation to clean up faces on machined blocks called angle, angle, distance. They cannot find this in NX5 manufacturing. Has this been removed, or...

I have a part in which I have added a new sheet to the drawing. I have named it "Sheet 1 of 2" the other sheet, which already existed, I renamed to "Sheet 2 of 2". I have used the built in attributes <w@$SH_Sheet_number> and <w@$SH_Number_of_sheets> in each title block. The problem comes in...

Is the 3d to 2d flattener license needed for 2d exchange?

In NX5, I am toying around with master modeling to create drawings. When using master modeling for drafting, is there a way to inherit the attributes from the master model into the drawing that it is assembled into? Also in a previous life I seem to remember dragging the drawing template...

What happened to export zip assembly in NX5?

I have multiple patterns that I have created to use as title blocks. All is going well with them. One question that I have is how to I put a pattern point into the pattern templates. What we would like to do is be able to drag our revision block into the drawing and select the pattern point...

I have seen something weird with parts lists in nx3, 4 and 5 and was wondering if anyone had an explanation/fix for it. The scenario is as follows. I have an assembly drawing. I add a view from a part. I add the parts list to the drawing. Then I manually add balloon callouts to the drawing...

We are using NX5. Is it possible that when a new part is created (file->new) to open a dialogue box that prompts the user to enter the part specific attributes? I assume that it would be done with a nxopen somehow. I am not extremely versed, but if someone could get me started, I ca ould...

I am writing a macro to export a CGM, Import a CGM, Layer filter, Save, and then export a DWG to a user's c:\ directory. All is working fine axcept for one thing, I would like to be able to name the DWG file the same as the part name. Right now I have a dummy string called c:\test.dwg as the...

I am setting up template parts, and when adding annotations, and ID symbols, I sometimes get an error that says "annotation specified connot have an associative origin". If I OK the error and then try to place the symbol or note again it works. This occurs when creating the symbol or note with...

Can you set a different degree precision than inches precision in the customer dafaults? I am using NX5, and have managed to change the precision for incha nd metric dimensions, but I can't find it foe degree dimensions. Thanks in advance

I know I've seen this before, but I can't seem to find it. Is there a way to point to a network custom_dirs.dat file for all users?

I am working in NX5 creating template parts and I have an issue with using patterns for title blocks. For the most part, the patterns work fine. If I change the pattern layout it does update any other part that has the pattern in it. The problem arises with automatic text such as...

Where are the dafault layer categories stored for NX5? I would like to edit this so every part created has the same layer categories.
