    Section Curve Updating Incorrectly

    Hello All, If I open an assembly and make one of the pieces the work part. Then I try to create a section cut of the part using the z-plane as my cut plane. I then make the assembly my displayed part. If I make that same piece the displayed part it realigns the section cut to the current...

    CPU Usage with Windows 7 64 bit, NX6

    Hello, I just got a new computer and have been using NX6 on it. It is much faster and I do like it quite a bit. It is a Dell Precision M6600 running windows 7 64 bit. When I run NX6 the processor usage only gets up to about 7 percent. It seems like there should be a way to make the processor...

    NX4 error question

    Hello, I have a question about a common error I get in NX4. When I have grouped a bunch of features and try to do a circular array I sometimes get an error that says "Internal error: invalid solid object tag." If I remove all of the features from the group feature (so now its empty) and then...

    Exporting a User Defined Tool

    Hello, I have a created a user defined mill tool and I am having trouble exporting it to another part file. Also, there does not appear to be an option to export the tool to the tool library? Do I have to recreate this tool in every part I want to use it in? Thanks, Rick

    Problems using "circular array" on a "draft"

    Hello, I am just wondering if anyone else has had any problems in NX4 with using a circular array of a group, where one of the features in the group is a draft. It seems that the circular array does not array the angle of the draft correctly. So as the draft gets copied around the circle it...

    Creating a build opposite of an existing part

    Hey, I have been playing around with trying to find a way to successfully create a build opposite of an existing part using a macro. I do not mean simply mirroring a body. The problem is that everything is extremely picky. Basicly, for an example, I have opened a new part with nothing in it...

    Printing PDF, once again

    Hello, I have the workstations setup to print to a PDFCreator printer. We are using NX4. When I plot and print a drawing on my computer it works just fine. On the computer next to mine it prints two PDF files instead of one. Its the same file just twice. And the timestamp on each file is...

    Supressing an annotation with an expression.

    Hello, I am making a lot of parts using the family parts function in NX4. I want to have the drawing in the part update along with each family member. For one family set, I have a bolt circle, which is controled with a suppression expression, "1" turns bolt circle on, "0" supresses it. I have...
