    round holes showing up as squares

    Thanks, this helped. I had already changed my settings from lightweight to show exact, but the changes didn't immediately take effect. I am now seeing the parts as they should be. Right now, I am just comparing two parts, so performance isn't an issue. I agree, John, that there is a price to...

    round holes showing up as squares

    I'm running NX 7.5.3.3. My round holes are showing up as squares...what preference do I change to get them to show up as round?

    drop down menu in the asm navigator...slow

    It's coming back to me now....it has something to do with part preview. How can I shut that off, or better yet, remove it from the navigator altogether, since it is something I never use, and is just a nuisance to me anyway. Any Help? Thanks

    drop down menu in the asm navigator...slow

    We just upgraded to NX 7.5, and I am finding that when I right click on an item in the assembly navigator, it takes about 15 seconds for the drop down menu to appear. It seems to me this happened when I upgraded to NX6, but I can't remember what I did to fix the problem. It doesn't seem to...

    Diferrence between Hide & Blank

    A distiction should be made here...Immediate hide and hide do not behave the same. Immediate hide sends the geometry to a place where it will never be seen again, unless the user uses ctrl+shift+u to unblank everything. I toggle between what is hidden and shown by using ctrl+shift+blank, but...

    centroidal moment of inertia

    John- I have uploaded the file...and have provided the output that I receive on the drafting sheet. I calculate values of 475,424 and 156,376. The program calculates values of 47,542.4 and 15,637.6 Mike...

    centroidal moment of inertia

    I am running NX 4.0.4.2. I am having a problem with calculating the centroidal moment of inertia. The answer that I am getting from the program is off by a factor of 10. The way that I am doing this is by creating a sheet body using simple curves. The cross section is simple enough...

    180 degree sheet metal bend

    Thanks, John, for your reply. Based on our history of installing new versions, I won't be able to use this enhancement for another 4 or 5 years. Several of us here that use the sheet metal package have tried to use the NX4 version, only to run into too many problems with it. We still use the...

    180 degree sheet metal bend

    We recently moved from version 18 to NX4. I can make a 180 degree bend in the old version, but have trouble in outside corners where two bends meet. It creates the flanges, but when I add features to remove the interferences, the program will not allow me to add these. It will allow me to add...
