Working in NX9 and creating additional section lines without a view. Reason is to show the section line in numerous locations to aid in assembly interpretation. Of course when adding the section line the label with the arrows changes to the next allowable letter. I want the label to be the same...
No John, not a new user, 32 years of UG. It has been a while since adding assemblies to drawings.
Our standard practice is to create the new drawing file then add the component to be drafted to the drawing.
I have just noticed recently this happening when viewing the file structure from other...
would someone please explain to me what the icon in the drawing navigator means.
When I add a base view of a component (only assembly files) that has been added to the drawing file, I get two components to unpack, 77x2087-101 files as shown in the attachment. one has the icon that looks like a...
NX9 drafting preference.
Somehow the settings preference for my Datum Feature symbol has changed from filled datum to unfilled datum. Isn't the setting in drafting preferences to change it or is it in customer defaults?
I know how to change it on the fly but filled datum is our standard setting...
Working in NX9 drafting.
Has anybody discovered a better way to associate notes, balloons etc to other drafting entities vs associative with a distance factor.
I know this method has been out there for a long, long time. Just wondering if anyone knows of a better way.
Catia lets you do it in a...
The only benefit I have experienced so far is when creating a drawing for a complex o-ring seal.
I would add the o-ring seal as a component and create a section view of the o-ring.
Then add a view from the model that the o-ring is used in, do a view dependent edit removing all features to only...
Thanks for the input. I didn't think there was a way to replace it. As a drafting checker we look for the correct file structure per our standards so unfortunately it will have to be redone even though useable.

Working in drafting in NX9.
Our cad structure is add the component to the drawing shown in the bottom component of the tree in attached file.
the file above it with the drawing format icon was added to the drawing file when the views were placed on the drawing. this is not our practice and also...
In NX9 when creating a pdf of a drawing, the filled datums symbols are not appearing filled in the pdf as they are on the drawing.
We create our pdfs of drawings with a journal. I have also exported a pdf of a sheet and of the current display with the same results.
They appear as shown in...
When creating a dimension of any sort that requires a stub on the leader line and I want to change the leader from left to right or right to left side of the dimension, I change it as needed, but when I reposition the dimension sometimes it resets itself to the original side. Anybody know of a...

Thank you Ron
Did all you mentioned in the member view that you mentioned except for the sketch part which I had considered.

No that wasn't it. what I am looking for is to place the 2d centerline perpendicular to the 2 holes.

working in NX9 drafting.
I would like to create an associated centerline between 2 holes shown in top view (see attachment).
The centerline needs to be equidistant between the 2 holes.
I have done a non associated work around creating a line in the member view between the 2 holes and change the...
In drafting, right click the boundary of the view in question, select settings, general and scale and change the scale and see if that helps.
another possibility is if reference sets are used change reference sets so the sketch does not show or move the sketch to another layer and make that...
Is there a chance that the view scale is 2.5/1?
if any geometry has been created on the drawing on top of the view and the scale of the view is not 1/1 it can cause some headaches.
the reason I ask is that 8.4 X 2.5 = 21.0
Have had this happen occasionally in the past 31 years of UG experience...
Working in NX9 and having issues with attaching a datum symbol to the feature control frame. I got it once and don't remember what I did (got to write these things down). Usually I use the appended text editor to create the feature control frame associated with the dimension but after using the...
Have you tried changing setting for the breakout for cutting thru or not cutting thru the model, or changed your vector direction of cut?
just a thought.

This what I am dealing with for disassociated dimensions, text, labels and feature control frames.
