    Drawing Font

    Years ago we saw some font strange-ness in the I-DEAS to NX "Great Migration" with some of our P&ID/schematics. I think we lost the percent symbols " % " and decimal points (periods). We needed to change the font in NX in order to fix them. It could be that something other than blockfont had...

    TEAMCENTER

    https://www.eng-tips.com/threadminder.cfm?pid=561 (the Siemens: UG/NX forum) is probably a better spot for Teamcenter questions.

    NX 9 Moving parts in drafting.

    If you really can't do anything with them, you may need to resort to the command "Smash View". I've had that happen with I-DEAS 2D entities when migrated to NX 2D.

    NX 10 "Make Unique"

    The great power to "Make Unique" in I-DEAS was that you could use it for sub-assemblies, and not lose the assembly constraints!

    NX9 Dimension stub leader location moving

    Annoying, isn't it?! I'd also love to know a way to "fix" it. At least the problem was acknowledged at the Siemens PLM Connection conference during the Drafting hands-on training session.

    Arrow tail length in Drafting

    nutace (Mechanical) 3 Aug 16 15:35 You will find it on the General section under Drafting.... OK, thanks, now I'm looking in the proper section - after hitting the Customize button - but unfortunately everything has a lock on it. Sigh.

    Arrow tail length in Drafting

    Well, I found someone else asking the same question over at the Siemens Community page: http://community.plm.automation.siemens.com/t5/NX-Design-Forum/dimension-drafting/td-p/357824 with the same solution. So, since I don't have permissions to mess with the Drafting Standards, I'm simply back...

    Arrow tail length in Drafting

    Thanks for the screen shot, nutace, but I don't have a Drafting Standards choice when I go to File, Utilities, Customer Defaults. There's only Drafting and the choices under that. I suspect that I don't have permission to go in and change the Drafting Standards. Or perhaps we're running...

    Arrow tail length in Drafting

    NX 9.0 Any way to adjust the length of the arrow "tail" in Drafting? I've looked in the usual settings (both for the dim itself, and in Drafting Preferences) and can't see where that length is controlled. As shown in the example, all I want to do is shorten it by a smidgen so it doesn't run into...

    Hole callout, hole not selectable ?

    Thanks, cowski. So, if I go to the Assy Navigator, click on a component, and that option ("open -> component fully") is NOT there, I can presume that it is already fully loaded. Have you, or anyone else, ever seen the case where Radial Dimension: Hole Callout seems to need to be "kick-started"...

    Hole callout, hole not selectable ?

    SDETERS (Agricultural) 14 Mar 16 12:10 Make sure your master part is fully loaded. Also look out for the holes being part of a pattern While you're on the subject ... How exactly do you make it "fully loaded"? I've run across the threaded hole callout problem in NX 9.0 where it gives either...

    Drafting: Smash View - any pitfalls or tips?

    Thanks for your thoughts, cowski, but it seems as though I-DEAS 2D curves are some sort of special case in NX. The schematic cannot be smashed using Smash Symbol, so it really isn't acting like a symbol. Once I applied Smash View to the view that the I-DEAS elements were in, all those curves...

    Drafting: Smash View - any pitfalls or tips?

    I have an I-DEAS drawing that has been read into NX 9.0 for revision. It is all 2D - a piping schematic. Although the text can be edited, the curves cannot. The lines can't be moved, length changed, etc., nada. I've discovered, however, that "Smash View" can be applied to this original view...

    Synchronous Modeling linear dimension

    A-ha, thanks! Yes, I'm working in History mode.

    Synchronous Modeling linear dimension

    When you apply a linear dimension using Synchronous Modeling, should it appear on the screen after you hit OK? Mine show up in the Part Navigator, but not on the screen view of the part itself. I can click on the listing and get to edit, but can't normally see what the linear dim is applied to...

    Balloon leader leaders wont attach in NX 8.5

    "click and drag" to get a balloon leader - now why doesn't Siemens have that featured in the NX Help for Create and Edit Balloons?! That's a great tip, and a good enough workaround instead of having to "Select Terminating Object" every darn time I place a balloon. (because my Balloon command...

    Rotated parts list

    Is your lettering set to a 90 deg slant? [bigsmile] I have nothing useful to offer except a wish that parts list setup would be done with a graphical interface where you could set all the darn parameters (cell size, lettering, downspace, etc) in one window, interactively, and have it stick.

    Section / Detail view labels

    Perfect! Just what I needed right now. My situation is not multiple views with the same letter, but multiple views acting like one section. For example, sectioning a long assembly twice to get a section of each end, that when put together, look like a broken view. (An old I-DEAS trick by an old...

    Does anyone see any improvements in NX10?

    Ordinate dimensioning in NX 8 (probubly all versions)

    Let me add, because I see no way to edit, that this works in NX 7.5
