    Baselining Large Assembly

    We're using NX 10 and TC 10, and I'm seeking some advice on the best way to go about creating a snapshot or baseline of an assembly before an upcoming review. I've been told that the baseline function within Teamcenter would be great for this, but IT says that it's not going to be working...

    How Can I Remove the Model View/Camera Name From the Graphics Window?

    This should be an easy one. I downloaded some parts from Siemens Learning Advantage to start learning about deformable parts. When I open them, they have a thin, red border around the graphics window, and a label with the current Model View and Camera. Is there any easy way to turn this off...

    Specifying Light Intensity in Renderings

    I'm looking at some lights for the cabin of what used to be a business jet. As I look through information from lighting vendors, specifically the intensity of various lights, I wonder if it's possible to use something like "118 foot-candles at 36 inches" to create renderings of what the lights...

    NX 8.5: Missing Toolbar Buttons

    While working on a drawing yesterday, I noticed that the Hide/Show Components in View buttons were missing from the Drafting Edit toolbar. The problem is that I can't find them to put them back. The commands have also disappeared from the menus. I've tried resetting the toolbar, changing Roles...

    Clarification of Check-Mate Checkers

    We want to ease users into using Check-Mate, so we're putting together some training documentation to explain what the tests are looking for and adding screenshots of failure examples. Initially, we're only going to use a subset of the out of the box checkers. I've looked through the...

    Checking text size with Check-Mate?

    My company recently switched to NX from CATIA, and I've been tasked with going through Check-Mate to make sure we're capturing as much as we can from our corporate design handbook regarding drafting, models, etc. One thing that I haven't seen a test for is the size of text in notes, dimensions...

    Error when attempting to Unite solid bodies

    I'm having nothing but trouble while trying to accomplish a seemingly simple task. I've got few different revolved bodies created from the same sketch. They consist of a tube and a number of gussets/mounting points. I'd like these all to be one body, but I cannot get anything to unite to the...

    Break-out section of a non-sectioned part

    As the attached image shows, I've got a non-sectioned pin in a sectioned cylinder. I'd like to avoid sectioning the entire pin, but break a portion of it out to show where a set screw will go. Is something like this even possible, or can I not get it to work because of the non-sectioned...

    Avoiding combining parts in an NX5 parts list

    I've got a parts list with a number of bolts and washers of various sizes that I pulled from a library of fasteners. Initially, the parts list will combine all of the like items because, no matter the size, the "Name" of these parts is something like "FSN-FAM_HEX_NUT" I usually get around this...
