    Getting snap/dialog/default settings to "stick"

    We are currently running the latest deployment of NX 9. After playing around more, and resetting my dialog boxes, it seems to have become more consistent, but not perfect. Is there any sort of disparity in how OK vs APPLY affects this when completing a command? I think the snap thing bothers...

    Getting snap/dialog/default settings to "stick"

    I could use some guidance in understanding how NX handles "default settings" from command to command. Let's start with snap settings: often times I start a command, choose the snap I want, complete the command, and when I run it a second time I have to reselect the snaps I want again. What...

    NX9 - some old drawings will not add new flat pattern view

    After getting a response from GTAC it looks like cowski was was on the right path, with one minor caveat... It turns out that the drawing was selecting itself during the base view import, which naturally resulted in no flat pattern. However, in my case, the 'Select Part' window to choose the...

    NX9 - some old drawings will not add new flat pattern view

    Thanks for the input guys. After trying everything to get this to work we have decided to send the problem to GTAC so they can take a look.

    NX9 - some old drawings will not add new flat pattern view

    Working here in NX9, coming from NX6. In NX6 we were using the old flat patterns...and naturally we are now moving to using the new ones. However, seemingly random, some of our old drawings do not list the new flat pattern layout when inserting the view. Yet if I start a new drawing a flat...

    NOOOOOO NX9 use ribbon interface

    Yes, I have done this and it does help. What I dislike about it though is that I still have to traverse to the ribbon tab to get to those functions. Meaning more clicks than before, unfortunately. But its something I can deal with... As one of our CAD admins, one question though: is it possible...

    NOOOOOO NX9 use ribbon interface

    Oh, and one other thing that I find EXTREMELY annoying about the new interface: Out of all the different options we get now while using the ribbons (ribbon, top/side/bottom toolbars, upper left shortcut bar, etc) not one of these are static. Unless I am mistaken, every one of NX's menus are...

    NOOOOOO NX9 use ribbon interface

    Now that I have used the Ribbon interface in NX 9 for a month or so, I mostly prefer it. However I find that the current implementation is very feature light, and doesn't include numerous (basic?) functions that I use regularly. If the intent is encourage users to move towards this then they...

    NX9 - Replacing existing patterns with new Title Blocks = ouch!

    Sure, that would be great. I would love to see how you handle this process in your journal. Thanks!

    NX9 - Replacing existing patterns with new Title Blocks = ouch!

    We are currently upgrading to NX9 and are recreating our Title Blocks with the new functionality (vs the old pattern style). During this process we also wanted to link model defined attributes with the data in the title block. So, for instance, we would have a 'description' field in our model...
