Attached is an image of my drawing of an eccentric shaft. I don't think what I have is correct. There are bearings on each of the datums that I have called out (except the keyway of course "G"). The keyway is strictly driving the shaft and its location is probably not critical, but I used it...
I am in the process of checking a print and am trying to find a suitable material for a project at work. The ring shaped piece is 2570mm (214 inches) in diameter and 100mm thick (8.33 inches). The ID is 2135mm (178 inch). There are some tapped holes on both sides, but the OD surface finish...
I have some custom icons and functions that I would like to use in NX 7.5.4.4. I can get them to work, but each time I exit NX (File, Exit) and reopen a new session, I have to load them again. The toolbar files are located in C:\Startup. An example of the file paths in the toolbar file is...
I have been sent a file from a vendor that is a solidworks file (.sldprt). I can import it into UG, but only some of the data is there. She suggested that I download the free Eviewer, which I did, but it only allows me to view it. The eviewer shows everything, but the data that I import into...
Another NX 7.5 question. I change my customer defaults to have a shaded and wireframe background color of black (I type the number 216 in all fields). I close out the session of NX and then open a new session. Then I select "File" "New" and the "Blank" template. The background color is all...
Below is the explanation from the help menu. Can somebody explain in simple terms and perhaps examples of where one might use this function? I want to be able to use NX to the fullest capability that I can. Thank you:
This capability is designed as an easy to use tool that is upward compatible...
When I add a view now in NX 7.5, I occasionally run into the issue where the automatic centerlines extend way beyond the part. I can edit each center mark, but that would be too time consuming. I am overlooking the setting for this (assuming it is in preferences/annotation). I would also like...
We recently made the switch from NX5 to 7.5. In NX 5, within an assembly, the single components would highlight first, then the subassemblies. Now, the subassemblies highlight first. It might seem trivial but with large assemblies when all I want to do is WAVE link geometry from individual...
Some of my coworkers recommend that I get a spaceball. Its been years since I have tried one and I never could get the hang of it. One slight bump and my view goes haywire. I have recently been doing some web review meetings with my screen being the center of attention. Others involved in the...
In NX 7.5, I have an assembly open with one of the components my work part. In NX 5, the rest of the components would be shown as gray. Now in NX 7.5, they are blue and purple. Might be something that I get used to, but it would be nice to change them back to gray.
In NX 7.5, I am splitting the body in two and noticed that the orginal body is still retained. What I am doing is comparing two models to see the mass difference between the two. By splitting it into smaller sections, I am able to narrow down the proximity of the areas that are different. With...
We recently migrated to 7.5 from 5 and are trying to adjust to the differences. One thing I noticed different is while in an assembly, in NX5, you could orient the WCS to edges of a model. In NX7.5, you have to make the part you are selecting your work part. Is there some setting to go back...
Typically when designing a mold, I use as large of die locks that will fit into the mold. Do you have a rule of thumb that you use? With 5° shutoff angles, I find that the die locks do wonders in making the parting runout last longer.

Hello all,
I am a tool designer, but I dabble a bit into small time farming. Problem is, I am located in a very sandy area where crops have a more difficult time to produce good results. I understand that organic matter is probably more helpful in making my crops grow, but the thought...
Hi all! I just switched over from NX 3 to NX 5. It appears as though the simplify body command is gone. Also, whenever I make changes in the customer defaults (background color for instance), it does not affect anything when I close UG and log back in. Also, I had created my own moldbase and...
