Using NX8.5
When I use Feature parameters for a screw hole it gives me say "1/4-20 (depth).50"
But when I use it for a tapered NPT thread, I get "1/8-(depth).39"
Is it possible to get 1/8 NPT-(depth).39 ?

When using the Feature Parameters for a tapped hole callout, is there a way to place the arrow where you want it to be?
Or at least move it to where you want and still have it be parametric?
Thanks

Is it better to just simply subtract the piece part model to create a cavity, or create the cavity by extracting sheet bodies from the part model and create other sheets to form a cavity block?
I've seen it done both ways, but don't know if either one...
In UG NX8.5 trying to create a reference set in an assembly.
In the dialog box I click 'Add New Reference Set' but it won't let me select any components.
If I check the box 'Add Components Automatically' I get a message:
'This reference set excludes all components.
Do you want to add them back...
In UG 8.5 is it possible to hide a view in drafting?
We have some proprietary info we like to hide when exporting to dwg for the customer.
Is this possible?
Thank you.

When modeling in UG NX8.5, can you change the TOP, FRONT, LEFT, etc views to orient to a UCS instead of the WCS?
Say I am working on an angled surface and I want that to be the TOP view when I click Ctrl+Alt+T
Would anybody know what this criptic message means?

Is there somewhere in UG NX8.5 that I can keep notes as to what I am doing, making changes, what the updates are, etc ?
Somewhere I can keep track of when it was released to the shop and who I gave the drawings to.
Things like that can be refereed to but not show up on drawings or on the models...
Is it possible to change a view configuration?
Say I have a view that is "Exact" and now I want to make it "Lightweight"
Can this be done or does the view have to be re-created?

When launching the MoldWizard in NX8.5 I get a message box "Failed to find add-in of current application. Copy the file into Excel XLStart directory"
What the heck does this mean?

I am using UG NX 8.5.1.3 in Win7
I have set the banner origin in 'Customer Defaults' to X-Right-(-11.7) and Y-bottom-(.1) Rotation-0 Justification-Right
I exit UG so these are set.
I open UG and when I plot drawings, all banner origins are still at the default.
I went back and checked 'Customer...
Does NX 8.5 use Java extensively?
I am using NX8.5 on a Win7 computer and every morning when I log on, I get a notice to update Java.
I cannot update because I don't have the rights and the IT guy says not to worry about it.
Do I need to worry?
Thanks.

I understand that there are different "chipsets" that go on the motherboard for computers.
I also understand that certain chipsets are better for Gaming, MCAD, etc.
Running UG NX, I am curious as to what would be the best chipset, or does it have to be a combination of chipset and CPU to get the...
Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the dwg editor that used to come with SolidWorks?
We have SW 2015 but it does not have the editor.
I know they are pushing DraftSight, but the dwg editor is sooooo much better.
For one thing it can use lisp programs, and I have some that I use...
How do you keep the customer defaults when upgrading NX?
I have set all my modeling and drafting preferences with File > Utilities > Customer Defaults
When we upgrade to the next version, how do I get these into the new version?
Moving from NX8.5 to NX9.
Thank you.
In NX 8.5.1.3 I have two plates in 1 assembly.
When I subtract a false body in 1 plate and add a symbolic thread, it shows as a dashed line.
When I do this in the other plate, the symbolic thread shows as a solid line.
Is there a setting in the part file to change to get the dashed line?
In UG NX 8.5.1.3 the translator (Start->All Programs->Siemens NX 8.5->Translators->dxfdwg)does not work.

In UG NX 8.5.1.3 I have created a drawing with a view of .50 scale
Using ordinate dimensions, they are coming out at half scale.
Meaning that a 10.0 dimension is showing 5.0
If I use a regular Inferred Dimension, it shows the proper dimension.
The dimension text, arrow size and all that are the...
