    NX 10 balloon on different sheets

    How can i add balloons to different sheets of the drawing that are linked to the parts list. I want to balloon a component on sheet 3 with the bom on sheet 1. I believe I used to do this using INSERT > Symbol > ID symbol but in my install of NX 10 there is only insert symbol Custom / Define...

    NX 10 split body / top down modeling

    ok got it working using extrude, would the next logical step be to use "create new" and select each body to represent a part. I try this and i cannnot get each body to save as a seperate part, i hate to do a sw comaprison but in sw you can split the body and name all the components and link...

    drafting dimension slows PC 8.5

    Simple drawing in NX 8.5. Certtain dimension like an angle or bolt circle will shoot the dimension and arrows way off into space. If i wait 20 mins or so the pc unfreezes and shows the huge leader lines created. NX 8.5

    How to best model Shell intersections, recommendations?

    I am modeling a boxed item as shown in attached JPegs. I analyzed using shell elements and am getting high loads specifically at the T intersection shown. Item is bonded in place around all 4 faces so i put a fixed constraint at these locations. Is there a better way to analyze the problem...

    Bearing Constraint / recommendations NX simulation

    New to NX/NX simulation but i must admit i LOVE it already. quick question what would be the best way to simulate a bearing constraint (similar to a bearing load). Ive tried point to face and selecting half the bolt circle and also spliting the face and doing a pin constraint, both seem to...
