    NX10 Zoom direction

    John, I'm playing around with the NX10 Beta release. ( 10.0.0.13) I note that the "zoom direction" is reversed.( I know that it can be changed back to the pre-NX10 direction.) It would be interesting to hear the story why this change. ( I'm not saying that one direction is more logical than the...

    Stacking Annotations hotkey ?

    When placing/ dragging annotations on drawings, ( NX7.5.x) annotations will "stack" when dragged on top of an existing annotation. Is there a hotkey to activate the stacking mode ? - It takes some fiddling around to make NX activate the stacking mode and a hotkey would simplify the action. (...
