Hi, quite often when I perform an intersect between a (continuous) set of surfaces and a planar surface, the resulting 3D curves are not continuous. There appears to be very small gaps between the curve segments. Is there a way to fix this? A bug or feature of SW(17)? We need to stick to 2017...

Hi, I've a rolled back part in an assembly. The part in question is in rolled-back state, because there is a Sweep feature that for some reason will crash SW if it is unrolled. Now, I must add this particular assy to another assy in order to continue working. But SW will not allow adding a...

Hi, is there similar functionality in SW2013 as in NX that allows the linking of individual surfaces or entire solid bodies from other parts in an assembly?

Hi, I've installed SolidWorks 2013 on my Lenovo W530 work laptop (it has Quadro K1000M chip as well as a Intel 4000 chip) and I experience a lag problem whenever I manipulate the OpenGL view. Thus I think this is a display driver or hardware related issue. Whenever I rotate, zoom or pan in the...

Hi, I need to define a new title block on NX 9 and got stuck almost right in the beginning. Please see the linked image: I'm looking for solutions on the following items: 1) How do I Import an image into the table? I've tried different image sizes so far but I don't get the image to show up...

Hi, how can one bring up the Exploded views toolbar in NX 9? I see I can use Menu -> Assemblies -> Exploded views -> Show toolbar. Nothing shows up, however. What am I missing?

Hi, we are using NX 7.5 and it's Sheet Metal module gets heavy use during the current project. As the project has gone onwards, some weird behaviour (bugs?) has come up. Particularly Contour Flanges and Three Bend Corner features tend to cause problems. Sometimes when you do a Contour Flange...

Hi, I need to export a rather large assembly from Ideas to NX. I see that the STEP format is my best option here (?). After exporting from Ideas I noticed that there are a bunch of separate .stp files and their location in 3D space is not the original one, ie. some parts are ovelapping etc...

Hi, one can successfully apply the Advanced Flange on a planar edge. But not on curved edges (see image link below)? Link Technically though, that hi-lighted edge curve is planar also. Is there any way to have that edge Advanced Flanged and make the part flatten as well? Ps. this...

Hi, what is the reason why NX sheet metal's Cleanup Utility does not produce parametric bodies?

Hi, we are facing some issues with NX showing/rendering edges that should be culled away behind a surface. This occurs for example when we have a sheet metal assembly and when zooming away, some edges of sheet metal parts that are inside of the assembly begin to show. This occurs with...

Hi, in drafting module, when placing a Detail View I get a error message after choosing where I want my detail view to be placed: "Inconsistent values given for array element replacement operation". How to get around this? This happens on NX 8.5.2.3 with Tc 9 integration.

Hi, we have a rather large (~20.000 item) assembly of a product that we would like to have 3D-printed, painted and of course shown to our management with great pride. Selecting only those items that are visible to the eye seems like a daunting task, especially if done manually.. So is there any...

Hi, I have a sheet metal part that consists of multiple sheet metal solids. Everything works, all pieces flatten successfully etc. But there's this one sheet metal part that just won't accept a Hem Flange on any edges - what's going on here? What are the things I must ensure to make Hem Flange...

Hi, managed to explode an assembly in the Modeling side but I can't figure out how to add this exploded view into the drawing of the assy. So.. howto?

Hi, double-clicking on a (simple) hole feature does not allow me to redefine the hole as a threaded hole on NX 7.5. Now since there are a few holes in my models that now need threads, what is the fastest way to convert?

Hi, NX does not seem to allow me to section from a view that is a broken view. Also a view that has a section cannot apparently be made into a broken view. Or am I missing something? Is there a workaround?

Hi, I've finalized couple of aluminum extrusion profiles but I still need to produce 2D-drawings of the tool profiles. What is the quickest way to use the 3D-models profile in a drawing..? There are a few profiles and some of them have pretty intricate detail, so drawing them from scratch in...

Hi, is it possible to make a feature (or a feature group) appear last in the feature tree? Say, for example that I have a set of sheet metal solids that represent one half of a product. Then I mirror these bodies and group them into one Feature Group. If I continue working with the originals...

Hi, when creating a datum point, it doesn't seem possible to use a axis in any way? My intention is to create a datum point on a surface by intersecting the surface with a axis. Seems pretty trivial but how to actually do it.. ?
