Since it appears that parallel to screen option is no bueno....There has to be a macro out there in the world that will grab the XYZ coordinate and put it into a Text with Leader or just Text. Anyone know of such a thing? I'm searching the vast consciousness of the interwebs right now.

Morning, This is a sanity check... After making a Coordinate Dimension from the Functional Tolerancing & Annotation workbench, I wanted to make the dimension appear parallel to screen. When I click on Properties, there is no "Display Tab", which is where the option to make something appear...

Nevermind, looks like I need to use "Replace Feature"....now to figure out how to use it. [mad]

Morning, I've scaled down a body. I've now created a new body due to changes, and want the Scale Body function to point to this new body. Is NX incapable of this? Do I really have to recreate everything following the Scale Body function? I'm new to NX, so I'm a little baffled and frustrated...

Ok, I see it. I hit Update Parts, but then I get a Runtime Error. We still use Excel 2007 (yes, we still live in the dark ages [mad] Does this have something to do with the error?

Hi, I'm trying to modify the Part Family spreadsheet of one of the reuse library components, for example, a Socket Head Cap Screw. However, when I go to actually edit the spreadsheet, any changes I make....don't stick and I don't get prompted to save. I've made a copy of the master.prt, the...

Ahhh....thank you. That's a little better.

Hi, In the attached picture, I'm pointing to a box that pops up when moving components. Is there any way to get this box to stay docked to a position. It is so annoying, it always pops to a spot that is inconvenient and am moving that around more than the component I'm trying to move. That may...

Did a Command search on 'visible in view'. Love this search by the way. I tried Layer Visible in View, turned on all layers. No success. Tried 'Show Components in View'....Bingo. Winner. Thanks for the help!!

Morning, I'm in NX10 and opening a file that was done pre-NX (about 4 years old). The file opens into Drafting and when I switch over to the Modeling application the 3D model does not show. I've tried changing the reference sets to 'Entire Part' All layers have been turned onThis does show me...

Hi, I'm trying to find information on this error: LIF_22 It is a Level 1 Error, and Catia won't fix them. If anyone can point me in the direction of what this error is, and what I need to do to fix it, I'd very much appreciate it. Thanks!! Dennis

Thanks guys for the help and information. I appreciate it, I really do. I like the macro idea, but in this instance I don't think it will be something I would use since I am generating a BOM with the Bill of Material function, so it isn't like the quantities won't be there for the guys...

Is it here now?http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=14f7847c-5881-40e7-a452-b0eb4f4ea845&file=Count.PNG

Attached is of what I have so far. I want the quantity (highlighted) to linked to a parameter. I was thinking it could be an Integer parameter. But I don't know if there is a simple formula that counts the catparts. Can you put a "Next Loop" as a formula in a parameter? No idea why the...

Hi, I'm trying to find a way to create a parameter that will count the number of like catparts within a catproduct. What I am trying to do is to create an "Attribute Link" within a text box that will display this number of each sub-detail within a weldment. I haven't had much luck in...
