I would like some information on how to fill in an expression's formula cell by reading from the internal spreadsheet. What I am trying to do is build the internal spreadsheet to look like a sheet we are given at work that includes all of the info you need to build a model. The problem is...

No matter if I'm zoomed in or way out it does the same thing. I clicked the reset button on the move face dialog and that didn't fix it. The grid snap is not on. If I'm in an English file and zoomed in, it won't even show the drag preview because the first snap increment is larger than my...

My NX 9.0.3.4 started doing a strange thing, if I do a "Move Face" and try to drag the face, it only wants to do it in 5" increments. I can't get it to just drag like normal. If I type in a specific distance it still works but the visual drag will only allow increments of 5. Same with the...

Excellent, Thank you!

I've searched this site for exact steps on how to do this, but cant find anything. What I want to do is create custom icons & bitmaps that when I click on it, it will run a custom macro. What is the process for doing this? I'm running 9.0.2.5 and using the Ribbon bars. Step by step...

That's it! Thank you so much!

I would like to know if there's a way to customize the radial popup buttons when you hold down Ctrl+Shift and hold down MB1, MB2 or MB3. I would like to customize all three radials if possible. For example, on the Ctrl+Shift+MB1 radial I never use Datum CSYS, Draft, Hole or Revolve. I would...

I agree with filbbb about the pulldowns in dialog boxes. I also agree that picking a plane is a lot more cumbersome now than it was in NX3. At least double the clicks and menu maneuvering than nx3 in that regard. Although NX has added time saving commands and refined the way certain commands...

John, I have looked over the screenshots you posted, we are moving to NX9 next summer. Can you tell me if the in-command menus that pop up are still based heavily on pull-down style fields? The pull downs on everything (Including the selection bar) are soooo time consuming. Take for...

Great advice, thank you John.

I understand exactly what you mean as far as programming goes. Ugh, that's a shame but I guess understandable. This happens so many times through my day, and we work on progressive die strip layouts so there are very long wait times for regen just to turn on a layer or shade. So sometimes I...

I am wondering if there is a way to change behavior NX has while escaping out of a command while you're in the middle of picking things. It wants to reset all views, changes to WCS, object display settings, objects blanked and layer changes I made while in the command if I don't complete it...

Very helpful, thank you!

In NX7.5 we could select all part attributes and simply copy & paste, how do I do it in NX8? It lets me select them all in File-> Properties but won't let me copy them.

Marc, I tried that, but the dropdowns i would like to have on a toolbar are the plane selection buttons, like point & direction or three points. I can't go to customize while I'm in the middle of a command or it goes away so I can't select it to drag it.

Thanks cowski! That doesn't completely solve the problem, but it does help a lot. I'd never clicked on that before. When you select points and planes all day long, those extra picks really add up.

Thanks Marc, I will try that for the toolbars. As for the dropdowns, I'm not asking for every command to be available in a button everywhere, but I think you had it right in NX3 where a series of buttons were always shown in the dialog box for whatever operation you were at. Take for example...

I have created my own .tbr file, but I have to load it every time I start NX. Is there a way to have it remember to load it every time? Also, why in the world would NX move to predominantly dropdown style picking on a lot of commands? The rest of the world found out dropdown menus make for...
