    Update Display options?

    yeah so I don't even have an index tab under the options folder in Edit>Options.... I don't know if my organization has a way to hide that or something. everything else that I can't change is simply grayed out.

    Update Display options?

    yes, I am using Teamcenter, Teamcenter 10 to be exact

    Update Display options?

    An update to my situation: I saved all my settings and somehow IT managed to switch them all back to the defaults. So it looks like I will have to continuously change all of the visualization preferences and faceting options every day. Also, I found something that DOES break when you load...

    Update Display options?

    well I guess I could just start saving "work part only" each time I adjust something on a single part. That makes sense, I will do that from now on... Thanks guys! ^^not being sarcastic, being sincere

    Update Display options?

    but cowski, what if you worked a few of those parts and not all of them?? I hit the basic "Save" that says "Saves the work part and any modifiedcomponents". For my experience, any time you pretty much load anything and rotate the screen, it considers you "modifying" it and tries to save a bunch...

    Export to Solidworks seems to be gone in NX10?

    yeah I got nothing coming up either... but I'm telling ya, I SWEAR I saw it once upon a time...

    Any comments on the partial loading thing?

    Export to Solidworks seems to be gone in NX10?

    OK! cool! The part about the MCAD was strictly just curiosity. Last question about this is: What is the difference between STEP 203 and STEP 214?? Are there any advantages for running one over the other??

    Export to Solidworks seems to be gone in NX10?

    OK, and will the PMI go with the Parasolid option?

    Update Display options?

    Guys, I turn off partial loading because frequently I'm working on individual pieces updating them in the context of their large assembly. Once upon a time, I tried updating something and NX gave me an error saying "part is not fully loaded and the operation has failed" or something along those...

    Export to Solidworks seems to be gone in NX10?

    Well maybe I'm just losing my mind about the Solidworks option. I thought it was one because I looked into this before. Either way, can you tell me which file will maintain PMI going to a Solidworks workstation? Also, please correct me if I'm wrong on this, but from what I was told: Was there...

    Update Display options?

    I shut off the lightweight and partial loading every single day :( Our admins have them set so that I can't even change the defaults to shut them off permanently. I do work in extremely large complex assemblies with over 4000 parts in them, but it seems like with NX10, everything has been...

    Update Display options?

    John, It's not so much a "problem" as it is a "nuisance". I make a single component my work part, adjust something like hole distance, then save the part. Then I display parent, go back to my main assembly and everywhere that component is, half the holes have diamond shaped holes that make it a...

    Export to Solidworks seems to be gone in NX10?

    I had Export>Solidworks... in NX9 Did they remove that functionality and now want you to use the STEP or IGES? Also, when you export one of these file types, which one will maintain the PMI for my vendor's use? He has solidworks, so I would like to make his life as easy as possible.

    Update Display options?

    Yeah, I did set all my stuff up so that it works best for me. Kinda have a beast PC here. Quadro K2000 32GB RAM Intel Xeon E5-1620. So, the thing should be able to handle it, I just think there should be an option. Mostly due to the fact that each time I hit "Update Display" it instantly fixes...
