    Detailing drill hole on contoured surface using Dowel for locating

    This is my initial detail drawing... would this be enough to machine the hole? http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=bce378ea-add8-4f92-ac7f-28397ad03cef&file=BLOCK.PNG

    Detailing drill hole on contoured surface using Dowel for locating

    Hello, I am trying to make a drawing detailing an M6 threaded hole that lies on a contoured surface using a dowel hole to locate the centerpoint for machining. I have searched around a bit for instruction or example drawings of something similar and cannot find anything. Anyone have any...

    Save Part from Assembly with Axis/Planes

    Hi all, I am coming from Unigraphics and have an assembly that I need to modify. I would like to select certain solid bodies as well as axis/planes and save as a separate part to work on. What is the best way to do this? If I select the solid bodies, I can right click and 'Insert into new...

    Reference Text & Expressions

    Thanks for these suggestions, though I should've been more clear. Extruding the text into each part is what I am after.

    How to quickly convert prt files to stl

    I work for large volume metal 3D printing company and to identify our plates we burn the plate number to the plate since a lot of the post-processing that is done would destroy a handwritten on plate number. But yes, I sometimes feel like I am not on this planet lol [alien] Thanks again!

    Auto numbering with extrude

    John - I dont know NXOpen but thanks for the suggestion - I'd like to learn the language eventually but for now, I was hoping someone could provide me with a little help for what I thought would be a simple task. Toost - I tried what you suggested but its not what I'm looking for... maybe with...

    Auto numbering with extrude

    I'm trying to create an extrude feature on a set of say 200 blocks of the same exact size. Instead of creating a Text curve and extruding it on each block. I want do it for one of them say block 1 with text 1 extruded, and then have it repeat to the next 199 blocks, extruding 2, then 3, then...

    Customer Defaults Issue

    Okay, thanks for clarifying John, not exactly the answer I was hoping for but at least I know its not my installation.

    Customer Defaults Issue

    No, the customer defaults are all off except 'sketch holes in modeling' The Preferences -> drafting -> table -> hole table -> hole filters has everything turned on.

    Customer Defaults Issue

    No, only the circles in sketch model option is turned on in defaults. When I make the hole table, it shows all holes, threaded, c'bore, thru, and sketch.

    Customer Defaults Issue

    I just created a new file, added a few threaded holes, a few thru holes and a counterbore. I checked my customer defaults and it was set to only pick up circles in modelling sketch. I created a sketch and created circles around the thru holes only, yet the hole table called out all of the...

    Macros stopped working from 8.5 to 9

    Sorry, its attached now. I'm open to suggestions, journals, drafting template, whatever. I'd really like to add a note too that automatically pulls the file path, file name, and volume. I'm not asking for anyone to make this macro/journal/template, just some clarity, tips, and maybe a good...

    Customer Defaults Issue

    They save but they don't seem to be applied. They worked in NX 8.5 but not 9. I've saved the settings, rebooted NX rebooted PC. I'm assuming this has something to do with how the company I work for has NX installed? (Read/Write settings) This particular computer has four different versions of...

    Macros stopped working from 8.5 to 9

    I have tried creating new macros and tried journals too but I'm unable to get them to work again. What I need to do is place four views in drafting top, bottom, projected right, then I select each four views, then ran my macro. The macro would turn hidden lines on, change dimension size...
