    NX6 assembly constraints

    so we used to have a mating condition in previous versions called 'tangent' which would allow me to mate a cylinder tangent to two planer surfaces. How do I do that with assembly constraints? I am totally not seeing it and 'touch' is only letting me constrain to one of the surfaces in my vee...

    Sheet templates act like Master Drawing templates

    So I have master drawing templates that work awesomely thanks to everyone's help here a year or so ago. Unfortunately my supervisors want the 'print' or 'drawing' contained within the same part file for detail prints not as a separate drawing file. For the full assemblies they are OK with the...

    Object handles on NX6

    Another question from nx3 to nx6… In nx3 there was a button in the reposition component dialogue box that allow you to ‘snap handles to WCS’. Is there a way to do this in nx6? Maybe a shortcut key or something? One more question about the handles when moving an object or component. Is...
