    NX cursor selection

    Thanks @cowski @Xwheelguy I got it. Xwheelguy, you know what smarter thing would be? combine all individual settings/preferences in one place. Now we have selection settings in "preferences" and selection priority in "edit" menu.

    NX cursor selection

    Why NX doesn't select the parts which is right in front on the screen but instead select the promote/linked bodies buried deep inside an assembly? Is there any way around so that cursor select the part which is shown on the screen not the hidden behind other parts? its so frustrating. sometimes...

    Associate two or more sketches

    Hello Guys, can two different sketches be associated/constrain with each other. So that if I move start point of a line in sketch(1), the sketch(2) also move along with the that point. I am using NX9 Thanks in advance. Surinder

    Split Quantity balloon

    Hello Jon, Appreciate your reply. Yes its not possible to split the quantity of item in NX. But only by putting a note beside balloon. which I ended up with. I feel like NX is just amateur in case of Drafting. I wish I could go back to Creo/Solidworks.

    Split Quantity balloon

    @Toost Sorry bro, not much familiar with English. But you got me right. so Item #6 has 15 quantity in your case. Suppose if there are 100 bolts used in an assembly. How will you show them in an assembly drawing? you cannot just put one balloon in a view showing Item no. "x" (bolts) has 100...

    Split Quantity balloon

    @Toost In Creo, you can use this feature by using "Redistribute balloon quantity" command. I wish if NX would have that feature too. NX has lot to improve. @sammcc yeah that's an alternative. I agree. but I want quantity to be parametric/linked with Parts list. Thanks for your posts guys. I...

    Split Quantity balloon

    Hi there, How can we show balloons with split quantity of an item in an assembly drawing. for eg. I have an item with 10 quantity. I want to show that item balloon with 2,3 & 5 quantity each in different assembly views. Like we do in Pro-e/Creo. I am using NX 9 Thanks.

    copy sheet metal part drawing to assembly drawing

    yeah it worked. Thanks @mhugo. Now I can directly add the part views by selecting that part from the part drop down list while adding base view.

    copy sheet metal part drawing to assembly drawing

    the same thing we can do in Creo very easily, by adding model of part in assembly drawing, and detail them by placing both form and flat views. After using Solidworks and Creo I miss lot of things in UG :(

    copy sheet metal part drawing to assembly drawing

    Hi everyone, I have one weldment includes sheet metal bend parts. the requirement is to detail piece parts also in weldment(assembly) drawing. I am able to detail the part in form view by hiding other parts one by one. Now the problem comes when it comes to detail the flat pattern. if I detail...

    Add condition to Assembly Constaints?

    I think there is no such option available in UG till now. or I am not aware of such thing can be possible, coz I have just started using NX 3 months ago. ;)

    Add condition to Assembly Constaints?

    you need to suppress that constraint using Arrangement specific command. Right click the constraint and Select "Arrangement Specific"

    Export DXF/DWG with hidden lines/tangent edges removed

    Hi, I am trying to export UG model view to DWG format. But in DWG file it shows all hidden/tangent lines & edges. Its very confusing to find out in dwg file which lines/edges to keep or delete. Is there any way we can export without hidden/tangent edges. I have tried all visual settings in UG...

    Note association/attaching with balloon

    thank you Cowski. it worked. and I found another shortcut to do it. click and drag the note over the balloon you want to attach, it will create a dotted rectangular boundary, release the click. TADA. :)

    Note association/attaching with balloon

    Hi, Can we attach or associate notes with balloons. So if I move any balloon in drawing, the note should move along with it. like we do in Creo/Pro-e. NX9 Thanks in advance.

    Suppress features in arrangements

    I know we can suppress a component in arrangements, but Can we suppress a feature made in assembly mode while switching arrangements? NX9

    "Save as" issue in TC for assembly having promote bodies.

    @gbangs oh yes,I have created them, and They are all checked in, and nothing is checked out to anyone. when we set up TC in test mode all this was working good.

    "Save as" issue in TC for assembly having promote bodies.

    @gbangs I have access to BOM view in TC. But I am not sure if I can modify or it can be modified? I am new user to TC.
