    3D centreline in Revolved Section View?

    Is anyone else able to add 3D centrelines to revolved section views and if so, what am I missing, as I can't convince NX to do it? I've looked around and there's a post from 5 years ago (thread561-185631) - a list of the top 10 ER's for each module. This behaviour was requested (Drafting, point...

    Modelling a barrel cam

    Something for the weekend... I'm trying to accurately model a barrel cam, which is produced by running a milling cutter along a defined path around the surface of a cylinder but the result so far isn't quite right. I've sketched the cam profile, applied a symmetric offset, Wrapped the curves...

    Selecting previously-selected items again

    Morning, Is there a way to reselect the most-recently selected set of 'things' ('things' could be assembly components and/or datum features and/or sketch curves...) in order to perform multiple operations on the same set of 'things'?

    Imperial feature on metric part

    Is there a more cunning way of putting an inch-size feature onto a metric part than multiplying or dividing your mm values by 25.4? In my example I'm mating to a fairly unique optical thread form of 1.035"-40 so for the thread diameter I'm entering 1.035*25.4. In my previous software (Inventor)...

    Drawing (section) view overlay

    Morning, all, I'm trying to show different arrangements of an assembly - does anyone know of a way to overlay section views on top of each other? I can place a new base view on top of an existing (section) view and align them by changing the Placement Method to Overlay, but I can't see a way to...

    Object Attribute references in balloons

    The last post in thread561-126691 says that you can insert references to part attributes in balloon text, which I've found, but I can't figure out how to put the 'callout' number in the balloon (I'm doing an assembly drawing). Can anyone help me out with this? I'm using NX7 in TC, if that makes...

    'Right-click and drag' popup menu in Modelling

    Re: thread561-232656 Can JohnRBaker, or anyone else for that matter, help me? John's post, if I am reading it correctly, seems to suggest that the right-click-and-drag popup menu (see attached screenshot) can be edited but I can't seem to figure out how. I've started the Customize screen but...
