    Multiple Leaders for a Radius Dimension

    I have seen this question asked years ago, just wondering if they have fixed this yet: In Drafting, I have multiple radii that have the same dimensional value. Is there a way to add a leader to point to each of them? (currently using NX release 2007) Product Designer: I-Deas/NX/Catia...

    Drawing Font

    It seems that we have lost the ability to use Blockfont with our new installation of NX12 (build 2801). Has this font been discontinued? Or is there something else we can do to restore it to the list of fonts? This also prevents us from using the special characters that are available with...

    Tolerance for dimensions without a decimal place

    One and two decimal dimensions are toleranced in titleblock, but no note or tolerance for whole numbers. Product Designer: I-Deas/NX/Catia Automotive Industry

    Tolerance for dimensions without a decimal place

    It is not a Basic dimension, it is a whole number dimension. We will have to contact the supplier for more information, this has happened more than once with different customers/supplier prints. Thanks for all your help. Product Designer: I-Deas/NX/Catia Automotive Industry

    Tolerance for dimensions without a decimal place

    thread404-85074 I have a related question: We have run across supplier and customer drawings (automotive industry) that have no decimal place. The ASME standard says that all dimensions must be toleranced - in the dimension itself, in the titleblock, or in a note. How do we interpret dimensions...

    Arbitrary boundry error

    Has anyone come across the solution to this error before? (NX 11) When updating drawing views, several of the views show this arbitrary boundary error. I'm not sure what caused it or how to fix. Error: "Detail XXX did not update." "Error occurred when updating arbitrary boundary."...

    Importing native NX files into Teamcenter

    I turned on the multiple revisions setting, reopened NX and ran a test. I'm still not getting separate revisions to import. I've tried all of the part actions. See attached pic. (If I import the 1st part rev, then go back and import the 2nd part rev, it will work.) Maybe what I'm trying to do...

    Importing native NX files into Teamcenter

    Does that affect importing? I thought that setting was just for opening multiple revisions in the same NX session. Product Designer: I-Deas/NX/Catia Automotive Industry

    Importing native NX files into Teamcenter

    @Ehaviv: Thank you. I didn't know that naming the files that way would import the revision. I tried it and it did work, for my 1 test part. In order for that to work, I would have to clone 2200 files, and then import 2200 files. That fixes my problem, but doubled my work. @Toost: Where do...

    Importing native NX files into Teamcenter

    @looslib That might just work, except there's 2200 files. I'll check back with you in 4 years... [upsidedown] Product Designer: I-Deas/NX/Catia Automotive Industry

    Importing native NX files into Teamcenter

    I have over 220 native NX 11 files to import into Teamcenter 11. There are around 20 or 30 assemblies with some common parts. Here's the catch; there are several revisions of each file, with the revision letter in the filename (example: 12345678-A.prt, 12345678-B.prt). If I import them, each...

    How to enter an Assembly into Teamcenter

    I have a related question: I have imported items into Teamcenter from native NX, but I have never done a larger import. I have a large directory (over 20 assemblies, over 2200 NX files, with many common parts) to import from native NX to Teamcenter. I understand the basic process, but how can...

    Assembly constraints not transferring to upper assemblies

    Umm... yes. But not on the components that are out of place. Does that cause problems? Product Designer: I-Deas/NX/Catia Automotive Industry

    Assembly constraints not transferring to upper assemblies

    I have had this a couple of times randomly, and can't find the solution yet. (NX11 stand-alone) I have a sub-assembly that is fully constrained. The next assembly up does not read the constraints from the assembly below it, and parts are out of place. They used to be working fine, but...

    NX11 slows when editing text

    I'm still being haunted by this problem. I thought maybe the note was too long (about 50 lines), so I shortened it and still had the same problem. It still seems to be that embedded symbol. As soon as I get rid of it, the typing goes back to normal. I also deleted that embedded symbol, and...

    NX11 slows when editing text

    You can't smash a symbol that is embedded into a note. Product Designer: I-Deas/NX/Catia Automotive Industry

    NX11 slows when editing text

    We have both, but in this case it is Native. Product Designer: I-Deas/NX/Catia Automotive Industry

    NX11 slows when editing text

    In NX 11, when I embed a custom symbol into a note, the editing of the text slows to a crawl. It types 3 or 4 seconds after I type. I removed the embedded symbol and it goes back to normal. The symbol is very simple too. Anyone have something like this happen? Product Designer...
