    I-Deas .xpk

    Not to hijack, but what file extensions did ideas use? I searched on .XPK and didn't find any. We briefly had an Ideas user in the early 2000's when SDRC bought the old Camex Cammand software and we were upgraded to Ideas via Maintenance agreements at the time. Some of that tooling is still in...

    NX2027 - Is there a fix or is this a Glitch

    Since you mentioned General motors, do you have the GM supplier toolkit? if it's something they require there may already be a tool they made for it. for our spot weld templates we'll typically plot a bunch of full scale views of the flanges only on paper and they use thin clear acetate and...

    NX 11 on Win 11 Pro - Not backward compatible with Win 10 Pro

    Following. We bit the bullet and switched to Xaas 2 years ago, since they made it so expensive to stay on Maintenance. Our sister company is about to make that decision soon. if you're off maintenance, what happens if you need to move your license? in the past I'd just leave the "old computer"...

    Plotting management......

    it really is sad to say, but NX plotting never advanced. The 20yr old book still applies https://support.industrysoftware.automation.siemens.com/docs/nx/nx3/plot/nx_plot_userguide.pdf

    Plotting management......

    For Printing to Scale you have to setup your plotter in Printer Administration and use the Plot command

    NX For Dummies?

    as a 25+ yr NX user, those are things I don't use, spreadsheets and such... But I believe the terms you want to be searching for is Part Families and Product templates Youtube and Vimeo have some decent videos.

    Converting a PDF document to CGM file in NX.......................

    If its a Vector PDF from a cad system, you can use Inkscape to make it into a DXF and then import that into NX short of buying a converter program, that's the only way i know how to do it.

    Hide features in drawing view

    Do you have a Staged Model license? if so thats may work for you. Though I don't know if you can creat drawings from the "stages" I watched a youtube vid on it, but when I tried it I found I lack the license.

    Does NX have a way to display layout guides in addition to the grid on a drawing sheet?

    hello everyone, can you help me how

    Like SDETERS mentioned, I'd try Synchronous 1st. Optimize face, but use the selection to pick the body Faces, Then offset the single face. If the geometry is clean it should move and adapt the blend faces. if not? untrim the flat face you want to move, offset it your distance and re-blend

    Creating wire fencing using NX

    I've only had to make a safety fence like shown in your image once. I did it old school though, before I knew what patterns were, if I recall correctly. I created planes for the outer boundary, made 1 line in X and 1 in Y where I wanted them, then trimmed them. Then use Tube to create the...

    Carpal tunnel syndrome

    oddly enough I just had surgery for Ulnar nerve entrapment and carpal tunnel syndrome on my Left hand... I'm 53. 24yrs on UG/NX What's Odd is I'm right handed and a hunt and pecker on the keyboard and I don't use a spaceball/mouse, so I doubt mine was work related.
