I'm looking for a way of drawing a line with an arrow head at each end.
I searched and an old method using a GRIP file came up but the links to the libraray have expired.
Is there a better way in NX 7.5?
I've got a hollowed out part and when I zoom out then some of the internal edges start to appear on the outside of the part.
I've had a few people look at the file and some have the problem and some don't. We suspect that it might be to do with using dual screens.
I'm just wondering whether...
A colleague has a problem with a drafting view.
When he drags a dimension then all other dimensions in the view explode into a mess of lines that occupy a space several times bigger than the drawing view. It looks like they explode into being 5 times larger than the view(drawing scale 5:1) with...
I've got a large model part - it's a welded frame.
Multiple extrusions are shelled, then mirrored then all united.
Then various holes are arrayed and mirrored.
When I suppress the last mirror then it updates the part, gets 80% of the way there and then after a few seconds the progress update...
I want to draw a line with an arrow on the end of it in the drafting application.
What's the simplest way of doing it?
I've messed around with text-free leaders and that sort of works, but it's not very elegant.
I've generated the default automatic parts list in an assembly drawing.
Is there a way of making the part name and/or description columns show as well as the part id?
I've read the help files but they're not helpful at all.
This is in NX6.
I keep getting a Yellow warning triangle with an exclamation mark in it in my part navigator.
Is there any way of interrogating the system so I can see what the warning message is?
I'm just messing about seeing what Orient Angle could do for me.
However, it doesn't seem to work.
I've got a bolt with a flat on it and I'm controlling the angle of that in a hole.
With 3D angle I click on the flat face on the bolt and a flat face on the block that the hole is in and it...
The "new" plot menu (introduced between nx3 and 6) does not contain a direct control of the paper size.
I regularly use a printer with A4 and A3 paper available.
Is there any way of forcing it to use the A3?
At the moment it defaults to A4 and the only way to get A3 is to use the "advanced plot"...
This is very odd.
I have a drawing, but at certain zoom factors the centre lines of holes are shifting noticeably off position and dimension extension lines are not in line with the edges of the part.
If I zoom right in then they align properly.
Is there some sort of "view tolerance" I need to...
I've spent some time looking into this.
I have a part in a specification file and I'm doing drafting.
The requirement is to link thread information to the model.
Here's the method I used. It's rather involving:
Look in the model, find the expression name for the thread. Eg: p106 = "M6 x 1"...
I've been looking at sketches on drafting views.
It's rather unclear as to what this offers over and above expanding a view.
According to the help:
For me, the first problem is that the help files say that to add the sketch I should use the "sketch" icon on the "curve" toolbar. I've had a...
Simple task:
Make an elliptical boss.
I've sketched an ellipse, but there appears to be now way of setting the angle of the major axis.
If I draw a construction line then there's no way of fixing it to the quadrants of the ellipse.
So I split the ellipse into 2, with a construction line down the...
Every time I find something that appears to be illogical I'll add it in here. I can then see if anyone else agrees, and hopefully the NX6 developers might be able to take it on board.
1)OK, Apply, Cancel.
Different menus behave in different ways.
Sometimes if you OK the action it occurs again...
One thing that really annoys me about nx6 is that for every radius and diameter dimension I have to manually edit the style to make the text horizontal and manually placed.
I've look at the preferences, but they seem to apply to all dimensions.
Is there any way to set the preferences so that...
