    How to change default reference set in Add Component

    I had stated I changed the assembly load options but it didn't work. I think I found a workaround though. I unchecked the option to skip the add component dialog (in customer defaults) on click-drag additions. That way I can change the reference set on load. I really wish you could access...

    How to change default reference set in Add Component

    When adding parts to my assembly, it always defaults to how the part was saved. I changed my load options to default to something else, but it doesn't work. It loads "Model" and I would like to change it to "Detail" by default as that is what was used in our legacy parts as the default. Don't...

    Limits a Fits

    Why isn't the "type" option available in the dimension dialog box? This would make it so much easier to switch back and forth. Also, is there a way to change how the tolerance is displayed? It is currently 10H7(0.015/0) where the H7 is always first. Is there a way to change it to put the H7...

    NX Datum Feature Symbol

    Thank you. That solved it. I'm not sure if this will be our fix, but it gives me an option at least. Thanks everyone! And if anyone ever comes up with another alternative, I'd love to hear it.

    NX Datum Feature Symbol

    I am the administrator, so I doubt that would help. :P I get the menu, but changing that doesn't actually do anything. The lines stay the same width.

    NX Datum Feature Symbol

    I have tried to edit the line width, but it doesn't change. I can only change the font to bold.

    NX Datum Feature Symbol

    Is there a way to make datum feature symbols stand out on a drawing? When people look at prints, they always have a hard time locating the datum callouts. They have asked about possibly shading them, but I see problems with this as well. Has anyone come up with a good way to make them easier...

    NX5 file fails to load in NX9

    We are currently using 9.0.2.5. I will get the latest update and re-test. Thanks John. If it doesn't solve the issue, I will contact GTAC.

    NX5 file fails to load in NX9

    I am having problems opening a certain NX5 file in NX9 (I have tried hundreds of others with no problem). We use master model so there is a .prt file, and a -drw.prt file. The only component in the -drw.prt file is the .prt file... no other reference components. The .prt file opens just fine...

    Relocating nx502_Threaded_Hole_Standard.xml to Shared Network

    Never mind. I think I found the environment variables to add: 6.Set the environment variable to specify the location of the customized data tables. ◦UGII_SCREW_CLEARANCE_HOLE_STANDARD_DIR ◦UGII_THREADED_HOLE_STANDARD_DIR ◦UGII_DRILL_SIZE_HOLE_STANDARD_DIR

    Relocating nx502_Threaded_Hole_Standard.xml to Shared Network

    I would like to locate the nx502_Threaded_Hole_Standard.xml file to a shared network so that I can easily edit it from one location to eliminate distribution to downstream users. How is this possible as I don't see this in the ugii_env.dat file? Thanks, Matt

    Change drafting sheet name to attribute

    No and that is what is really confusing me. Somehow it uses either an attribute or something of the sort to name the first sheet. The rest follow suit but it looks like just straight text to me. I'm not sure if there is some sort of code that names the first sheet behind the scenes or how it...

    Change drafting sheet name to attribute

    Well I don't see an image, but that's fine. I highly doubt it is "impossible" as we somehow do it right now in NX5. The problem that I'm having is figuring out how they accomplished this. As I configure NX9, I need to come up with a solution to this problem. Anybody have an idea?

    Change drafting sheet name to attribute

    Currently all of my new drafting sheets come in as Sheet "Sheet 1". Is there anyway to get this to show up as an attribute-1 instead? So if I had an attribute with a value of BODY, my sheet names would be: BODY-1 BODY-2 and so on. Is this possible? Thanks, Matt

    NX9 Journal File to Import Part to Multiple Drafting Sheets

    I guess this will have to be a future project for me. I will first have to spend a little time on www.nxjournaling.com. :) Currently I just recorded a journal to import my part. It works and I guess that's all that matters. Haha. Thanks cowski and when I find more time to attack this I'll...

    NX9 Journal File to Import Part to Multiple Drafting Sheets

    Ha! If only we had interns year around here. I could combine the two journals, but it only imports the part to the active sheet. It would be nice if it imported the part to all sheets in the drafting file. If I had a journal file to accomplish that, then I could combine them and have all...

    NX9 Journal File to Import Part to Multiple Drafting Sheets

    I currently have a journal file to delete all of my old titleblocks (from all sheets at once). Then I have to go to each sheet individually and run smaller journal files to import the titleblock of choice. Instead, I would like to import my new titleblock into every sheet in 1 step. Does...

    Delete specific drafting curves with Journal

    cowski you are a lifesaver. That worked perfectly. They all start with MD fyi.

    Delete specific drafting curves with Journal

    Hi, I was going to modify this journal file to delete any groups with a name that includes MD, but it doesn't work. I modified the below journal line: Const targetGroup As String = "DWG_STATUS_TAB" to say: Const targetGroup As String = "MD*" but it doesn't work. It gives no errors. If I...
