Thanks for the link.
I have had several IR numbers open with Siemens (via our reseller) going back several months now. Because the original crash was so intermittent once they have suggested something they close the case and then it gets re-opened when the problem comes up again. It seams to...
Yep I found it and installed it, sorts out the "Attempt to write to freed object" error, which allows me to upgrade the driver to sort the crash problem. Unfortunately I am still left with the problem that edges do not highlight when you more the curser over them, but its the lesser of the 3...
In NX5 you could 'deselect all' in the 'referance sets' dialogue to clear everything before selecting teh geometry you wanted. The only way I have been able to do this in 7.5 is to turn all layers on and unblank all to do a mass deselect. This is obviously a pain, especially if the file has...
I also have this problem on 4 similar machines (64-bit) running 7.5.3.3 with the problem occuring in model files, but only if the draft file is also open in the background and also when using the latest drivers for our FX1500 graphics cards. We had intermittent crashes (NX closes without...
For me the distinction is that for the 'direct sketch' mode (or what I would call the edit mode) the current 3D behaviour is correct. In the 'sketch task environment' (or in my mind the creation mode) it is 2D only. The space mouse behaviour could be toggled alongside the sketch preferance to...
In reply to moog2 regarding the rotations in broken view. Rotations are now possible in all expanded drawing views, which is not helpful (you get a half 3D wireframe). In NX7.5 both space mouse and normal mouse can rotate in expanded. Just checked NX5 (its useful still having a copy for...
3D connexion reply to my query about the loss of rotations being locked automatically in sketches:
"What might feel to you now as a bug, is actually an implemented feature. From what I have learned this is a change in the NX add-in. It was changed upon customer request.
Using the 2D button is...
Follow on question from this.
We use several custom threads that we add to the "thd_metric.dat" and "thd_english.dat" files saved to a network location. They are pointed to using a customised "ugii_env.dat" on each machine, which points "UGII_METRIC_THREADS" and "UGII_ENGLISH_THREADS" to the...
I use the explorer, which is the familiar shape evolution of historic space balls and a great product. I have a Navigator at home, which is also excellent and does all you need. The only advantage I find with the explorer is that your hand resting on the device itself is more comfortable for...
Thanks for that, good to know there are others also struggling with visibility of the new constraints. The screen view of constraints is a mess and not useful, I can see us only using the dependencies panel, just wish you could remove the parent/child folders and rename easier to help make it...
Thanks again for the reply, it sounds like this is a work in progress and will improve. Having had more of a play with it I am slightly less concerned.
The dependencies view down the bottom is actually the best way of seeing the constraints related to a component (not dissimilar to Solid Edge...
Thanks for your reply. The changes (to NX8?) sound promising, although for me the best way to manage constraints is almost there, by clicking a component and seeing the constraints relevant to it in the dependancies panel. The only problem with this at the moment is that ALL you want is a list...
I have just organised updating from NX5 to NX7.5 for our 9 seats of UG within the company. Most of the changes are logical and easy to understand. However, I missed whilst testing it that assembly mating conditions has changed to constraints (partly becuase it happened in an earlier release...
