Neat. Thank you. "My english is bad ? That's why i'am french."

Hello, I've been told there is a trick to change the default NPT thread angle in the drafting views. By default it is 3° but we need to change it to 1.7899106° Maybe a UGII environment variable ? See thread561-335093 Thank you "My english is bad ? That's why i'am french."

Nice trick ! I'll remember. "My english is bad ? That's why i'am french."

Thank you John. All make sense now.[rednose] But it's not easy to create a spline (from the curve menu) based on points from a sketch. They are hard to select and associativity not guaranty. ??? I instead create a poly-line sketch representing the future spline "poles". It's then super easy to...

And if you can give as sample file. We could see if the problem is following the part file. "My english is bad ? That's why i'am french."

I'm now editing the spline and uncheck the "Closed" option. P3 & p5 are now OK and I get the same shape at first. I can close again the spline. There is a problem with the closing point. For GTAC ? "My english is bad ? That's why i'am...

I now change p1 to 20 instead of 126. To me, the all spline should translate 106mm to the left. .... Well ... No .... And they are p3 and p5 that are referencing a invisible point ??? "My english is bad ? That's why i'am...

OK. It goes deeper .... From the closed spline I enter values to the auto-dimensions. Only one couple of dim is referencing datums. The other dim will make the through points "rigid" between them. Still 2 constraints needed. "My english is bad ? That's why i'am...

Now I am closing the spline. 2 constraints needed. Which is stupid as the last point is the first. But maybe not for the sketch solving engine. "My english is bad ? That's why i'am french."http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=3895c8e7-06f3-4a17-b212-b5e177e77582&file=closed_NOK.PNG

OK. I did a basic test. A new part file, a new sketch, auto-dimensions, an open spline through 4 points. All is constraint. "My english is bad ? That's why i'am french."http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=9bdb88f3-a7eb-4e1d-ab9d-cb2a574929d2&file=open_OK.PNG

Hi there, On NX 9.0.3.5 I am trying to constrain a closed spline within a sketch. I added dimension for each thought point but they are always 2 constraint needed. I usually really good a this but here I don't understand why NX require 2 more. Even the "continuous Auto dimensioning" can't...

Try to "export part". It will create a new part and keep all needed to recreate the solid body. "My english is bad ? That's why i'am french."

Are the sketches "External" to an extrude / revolve ? If not, try to make them external and then "Edit with rollback" "My english is bad ? That's why i'am french."

Did you "unblank all" (Ctrl+Shift+U) Did you check layers ? "My english is bad ? That's why i'am french."
