Additional thoughts...
Am I in the wrong, thinking that I should be looking at tensile strength numbers to validate my wireform spring? For reference, my spring is flat so loading is applied outward, but essentially in one plane. I've attached an image showing an example of a wireform spring...
I'm trying to find a low volume supply of 2 mm OD music wire (ASTM A228), that falls into the lower tensile range for that grade of wire. I'm trying to validate a wireform spring shape. My thinking is that if the spring applies enough pre-load with material that has low tensile strength...
IRStuff, correction. Something like 10mA goes through this circuit, to trigger a higher current (10A possibly) relay. Not that it matters, but it's not a constantly closed circuit either, i.e. it doesn't pass current all the time
The current will be <= 10A I think. I don't have the spec in front of me, but I'm comparing it against the equivalent fuse/circuit in my personal car. Sure it's an "open connection", but there are other existing solutions with similar connections, and they go through very rigorous thermal...
I'm looking for suggestions on connecting wires to a wireform spring. Imagine a cotter key Link that needs to pass a current. My application is automotive, so 12V. I can either have an copper insert in a plastic injection part that will have interference contact with the spring and a spade...

Thanks. Since the toolbar wouldn't pop up when I go into the customization options, I didn't realize you could force it to appear by clicking on an object with the custom menu open. Hooray!!
I also just realized that if you RMB on features/surfaces/bodies, you get the same menu that appears when you RMB in empty space, and then just above that, the delete toolbar appears as well.http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=189e250b-c632-4385-93ae-d30514d69ff8&file=005.png
JohnRBaker,
Thanks, but that isn't helpful. The quick access toolbar in question doesn't pop up under the customization menu. I've attached some files to try to illustrate the issue. The photos/screenshots are as follows:

JohnRBaker,
Sorry but that's not helpful. The toolbar in question doesn't appear in any of the customization areas. Below are some photos detailing the issue I'm having.

mag00n,
My company just got NX 9 installed and I find myself also being really annoyed that UG wants me to accidentally delete features, surfaces or whatever I happen to click on by giving me a quick access pop up toolbar that has the functions "suppress, hide and delete". Have you found a...
I am trying to come up with a formula to tell me how and how much to preload a spring for a new product. The data that I'm starting with is as follows:
Imagine a spring in a the shape of an uppercase j, minus the flat on top, and instead of an arc on the bottom it has two right angle bends and...
I've experienced issues with NX8 and the SpacePilotPro. It worked fine with 7.5, but after upgrading to 8, in the drafting application I encounter errors when trying to update detail and section views. It turns out however that the SpaceNavigator has no issues with NX8. To my knowledge, the...
