    NX and measuring distances

    Ok, So, I have now tried the favorites in NX9. Our whole team has switched over. They favourite is acting that same way. This is what happens.... 1) I open the desired command...then set all the things to the way I want it...then I create the favorite. In my case, I am interested in create...

    Changing colours....

    So, I have to change the colour of many components in a sub-assembly. I have to do this because...well... its a long story and involves a gnashing of teeth... So. I have an assembly (A) which has several sub-assemblies (B1 to B5), which each have several sub-assemblies...and so on. How do I...

    Cowski, Thanks!! Actually, I tried to do something like that using a simple macro in a text editor. I would search for "p:\" and replace it with the appropriate drives.... It was failing on me and I did not have much time to investigate. I am looking forward to testing yours! I really...

    Looslib, We do have standard drive letters, but there are not enough of them. As far as engineering is concerned, we use a range of letters, but the shop uses drives we don't need. That is easy enough and we are very strict regarding their usage. But the fact that we have 5 plants in 3...

    Mapping F8 to View Radial

    Cowski, I do not like the Space-ball...I use the centre mouse button fine enough. I find my team constantly rotating and rotating. I am convinced that it is eating time rather than saving. Yes, it is faster to get to a view, but I think their other hand should be keying stuff in. They are...

    Mapping F8 to View Radial

    John, Excellent! I did just as you mentioned. I added the lines to that toolbar file and there it was! I was then able to access it and move to any other toolbar using the regular customization method. You know....I looked at the tool bar text file and I can't figure out the correlation...

    Mapping F8 to View Radial

    Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has mapped the F8 (Snap View) (aka: UG_VIEW_POPUP_SNAP_VIEW) To the radial View tool bar....or any tool bar? The only solution I have found is to create a journal file, then a custom command button to call that journal file. But there HAS to be a better way...

    Clicks clicks clicks

    We are going to aggressively attack the issue of wasted icon clicking time. We have done some benchmarks and we can clearly see that clicking on icons on a ribbon bar, menu bar or even right click menu is slowing us down drastically. We have found that direct keyboard, single click commands...

    NX and measuring distances

    John, I've not tried it on NX9 yet. We are about to do a change-over soon. What I mean about "forgets" is that I created the shortcuts and they worked fine. Then, for no reason (and only a few minutes later) the short-cut no longer has the same options. That is, instead of "vector" distance...

    NX and measuring distances

    John, Excellent! I tried it; it worked great...except that 8.5 "forgets" things! So, the dialogue favourites are forgotten. That is, the same options don't appear even though they WERE working just a few moments ago. BTW....what size .bmp files are needed for the icons? (pixels/colours/kb...

    Actually, If you open the bookmark (via a text editor) you will see that the full path is given. Unfortunately, this path includes the drive letter, rather than the network path. For this reason, it does not work. (at least I think so...) Here is an excerpt from a sample bookmark: (notice...

    NX and measuring distances

    In NX 8.5 (and 9) there is the option to measure distances (not simple distance). Since we do generally two types of distance measuring it always bothers us that we have to constantly select "Measure Type" from the drop down in the Measure Distance dialogue. Is there anyway to assign each...

    We have used bookmarks and they work fine. Except... If you want to send a bookmark to a person whose computer's drives are mapped differently (even though they have access to the exact same files in the same location) the bookmark fails. For example: bookmark is in P:\MyDesign\MyBookMark.plmxml...
