    How can I use reference dimension to drive a sketch dimension in the same sketch in NX10?

    You could try this - I added and arc and a line coincident with the ends of the arc to both angles. The arcs are equal radii and the lines are equal length. Because this is enough to constrain the angle to the right, both angular dimensions are now reference. I changed the horizontal dimension...

    Export CGM File from NX10 - Can't import that same CGM File INTO NX10

    Jerry, It seems to me that if the patches were the problem, as the link would suggest, then I would not be able to translate the cgm file into ANY program, which is not the case. I can import the CGM file into NX9 and Adobe Illustrator with no troubles. Chris Cooper Senior CAD Specialist...

    Export CGM File from NX10 - Can't import that same CGM File INTO NX10

    Anthony, Thank you for your response, but this doesn't make sense to me. I successfully exported the following filetypes out of NX10: Part Parasolid CGM STL DXF IGES STEP I could successfully import ALL of them into NX10 EXCEPT the CGM file. I am running NX natively. Chris Cooper Senior CAD...

    Export CGM File from NX10 - Can't import that same CGM File INTO NX10

    Running NX10.0.2.6 - I can export a .cgm file from NX10 - Drafting or Modeling. I CANNOT import that same file BACK into NX10. I can place it into Adobe Illustrator and import it into NX9 without issue. Exporting that same geometry into another cgm file from NX9 and trying to import that...

    Multiple Objectives in a Single Optimization Study?

    I found the answer to my question and it was really simple. I created the study to optimize the linear measurement using four variables and I set the mass measurement as an upper constraint in this study. Chris Cooper Senior CAD Specialist Cleveland Golf/Srixon www.clevelandgolf.com

    Multiple Objectives in a Single Optimization Study?

    NX10.0.2 Mach 3 Industrial Design Bundle I have a model that I have a couple of associative measurements - one linear and one of the mass of the model. Can I go into the Optimization command (Tools tab -> Optimization icon) and set-up a study that has as its objective to get both of these...

    NOOOOOO NX9 use ribbon interface

    As someone that got to see the demo in Dallas, I cannot wait to see the new UI in NX 9.0. I have shown the pictures that John Baker posted to a couple of people here, and they can't wait either. Chris Cooper Senior CAD Specialist Cleveland Golf/Srixon www.clevelandgolf.com

    NX Background

    NXMold wrote: "Note that we've added an icon to the View toolbar which will allow you to instantly switch between 4 different combinations of light and dark, graduated and non-graduated backgrounds." I use that extensively, but it really bothers me that we dont get WHITE and BLACK as options...

    NX6 COORDINATE SYSTEMS

    I have been using variations of the program since Unigraphics v8. I must admit that the new interface at NX5 was a challenge, but is am SO much faster now than I was then. The new UI just takes some getting used to, that's all. Chris Cooper Senior CAD Specialist Cleveland Golf / Never...

    Measuring Wall Thickness

    Win XP Pro SP3 NX 6.0.3.6 Mach 3 Design Bundle ==================== Within the parameters listed above, is it possible to measure model wall thickness and have the results plotted on the model in varying colors based on the measured wall thickness? If so, where do I find it and how do I do it...

    Offset Surface

    In Modelling: Insert -> Offset/Scale -> Offset Surface Select the sureface you want to offset, and enter the desired distance. If there is no problem with the surface, you should see a preview of the offset. Use this preview to double-check the offset direction vector. If it is wrong, you can...

    Space Navigator and sketch 2D mode

    I just tried to replicate what you desribed with my SpaceNavigator, and I have no issues Pan, Zoom and rotating while in a sketch. I am running NX 4.0.4.2 MP4 and I saw no preference settings that would seem to suggest a 2D vs. 3D preferrence with regards to sketches. Weird. Chris Cooper...

    Sheets to Solids

    dr, Make sure that if your Rhino guy is exporting IGES, he changes the IGES type to either 'Unigraphics solids' or 'Unigraphics surfaces' and that he set the IGES tolerances correctly. This may help in the translation process. Good luck! Chris Cooper Senior CAD Specialist Cleveland Golf /...
