    Point on Curve

    Hi Group, Forgot to mention - These are probably easy commands once known where to be found & how to use. Thanks JM Engineering Project Manager

    Point on Curve

    Hi Rollupswx, Attach a file? I'm asking for AutoCAD 2012 command instructions or options. I would think that AutoCAD 2012 would have some type of point & align options, change entities to references & number of other features. Who know where these are & how they work? Thanks JM...

    Point on Curve

    Hi CarlB & Others, Thanks for replying. I'm simply trying to take the center point of an arc or circle & alight the point onto a line, which I'm using as a center construction line or reference. Also, I wish to make some line entities &/or dimensions reference. I'm accustomed to using...

    Point on Curve

    Hi Group, I also forgot... How do I make some of the lines & dimes reference lines or reference dims? Thanks Jason M. Unigraphics NX Designer

    Point on Curve

    Hi, I'm using AutoCAD 2012. How do I get a point on curve or arc point on curve or at midpoint? Thanks Jason M. Unigraphics NX Designer

    Suggested Ways to Model Transition

    Thank you.

    Suggested Ways to Model Transition

    Hi Potrero, Believe or not, that is how the actual part looks now. The previous modeler did a hack job to create this model & now I'm attempting to make a "cleaner & more parametric" model of this same part. Originally, the previous modeler imported a bunch of splines & modeled away with...

    Suggested Ways to Model Transition

    Hi NX'rs, I'm attempting to model a component that has a little bit of transition curvature & twist to it. Additionally, the twist & transition has to go from thin to thick area (or vice versa). I attached a screen shot for reference. In this model, I'm attempting to remodel it, making a...

    Designing Airfoils

    Hi Potrero, Thanks for the info. This helps a little bit. Jason M. Unigraphics NX Designer

    Designing Airfoils

    Hi NX'rs, I've imported points & splines to make an airfoil profile. I'm looking for more "controllable" methods to modify chord / airfoil lengths, leading / trailing edge radii or any other section of the airfoil. I know points can be dragged around, but this seems dangerous to me...

    Can't Select All Sketch Entities

    Hi John, I was creating a .020 x 1 rectangle. Apparently, having 0.0254 model tolerance was a little too high. Jason M. Unigraphics NX Designer

    Can't Select All Sketch Entities

    Hi Everyone, My problem is resolved!!! It appears that I had my modeling tolerance too high & by going to: Prefernece --> Modeling, General tab, change the Distance Tolarenace from 0,0254 to 0,010. Thanks Jason M. Unigraphics NX Designer

    Can't Select All Sketch Entities

    Hi John & Others, I submitted my file to GTAC for review. This may be file specific issue, but I did have some other instances where I had the same situation. However, at the momenent, I can't duplicate the issue. As for NX 7.5.2.5, I need it today if this the solution to my issue...

    Can't Select All Sketch Entities

    Hi Everyone, Thus far, the above suggestions are not working. Just to test or to see if I can duplicate thei issue, I put a sketch on a datum plan & made a rectangle, using the internal sketch rectangle feature & let the auto constraints provide some constraints. I then exit out of...

    Can't Select All Sketch Entities

    Hi John & Others, As far as I can tell & should be, all curves are on the same plan - In most instances, on a datum plan. None of the curve entities that I'm trying to extrude are references curves either. My cue line says my sketch is fully constrained, which it appears to be. However...

    Can't Select All Sketch Entities

    I forgot to mention, in case it makes a difference that I'm using NX 7.5. Jason M. Unigraphics NX Designer

    Can't Select All Sketch Entities

    Hi Everyone, I created a sketch on a datum plan & used the rectangular feature & fully contrained the sketch. After exiting out of sketch & using the Extrude feature, some of my curve entities are not selectable, even after use filters such as single curve, connected or tangent. What...

    NX vs. Pro-E

    Hi Everyone, What I've seen thus far, plus doing some other research, both Pro E & NX has its advantages & disadvantages and comparable in almost everything in terms of functionalities or capabilities. Thus far, at least in my research, there's not a single thing that highly stands out as...

    Recreating Profiles from Splines

    Hi Tim, Where's the fit spline feature? At a glance, this approach seems better, rather than simplifying curves to have a bunch of segments. I'll try this approach. Jason M. Unigraphics NX Designer

    NX vs. Pro-E

    Hi Ben, Thanks for the Pro-E info. I wasn't sure what the Pro-E modules are called. Hopefully, this will give a better comparison. Jason M. Unigraphics NX Designer
