    Annotation following a curve

    That's what we do now. Thanks though.

    Annotation following a curve

    Thanks for the reply. The problem with using the text feature and extrude is machining time. Machining and programing a subtracted text feature takes much longer than running the NX CAM engraving program (hours as opposed to minutes). This might be something R&D should look into because I'm sure...

    Annotation following a curve

    Is there any way to have drafting annotation follow a curve? We are trying to engrave on the outside of a hole following the OD. Is there a way to use the drafting annotation follow the OD so we can use the engraving function in CAM?

    Edit Extract Region in NX8

    Can't say I've seen this except for when there is a lot of faces and shaded.

    subtracting components

    We use the moldwizard pocket feature and this what it does. It takes a false body(a solid that you create that has all your clearances)links it into your component and subtracts it. You can take all 600 of your components and link them into your assembly, make the component you want them...

    How can I draw a line aligned with an edge or surface?

    Figured it out. Had to go to the insert curve- basic curves to get there instead of insert curve- line.

    How can I draw a line aligned with an edge or surface?

    The problem with the lines an arcs command is that I can't pick the point as a centerline. This is going to be a centerline for the cutter to follow.

    Sorry. Insert curve command.

    How can I draw a line aligned with an edge or surface?

    I am running NX8. In previous versions I used to be able to draw a line at a midpoint of a channel and it would run parallel with an edge until I picked a stop point. For example I have engraving text on a dumb body that manufacturing needs to cut. What I want to do is draw a line in-between the...

    Why are sections of my parts list on different sheets?

    Well. For some reason it works if I create a new sheet.

    Why are sections of my parts list on different sheets?

    Thank you for replying. Didn't help. Aleady set at left and zero.

    Why are sections of my parts list on different sheets?

    I'm running NX8 and when I went to update my parts list I had a section end up on another sheet and I can't figure out how to move to the sheet I need. I've tried deleting and recreating it and it does the same thing.

    Help!! I can't figure out why I can't reselect an extracted face.

    Never mind. Figured it out.

    Help!! I can't figure out why I can't reselect an extracted face.

    I'm running NX8 and I'm trying to reassociate an extracted face. For some reason I can't reselect it. I have to create a new one. Any one have this issue also?

    A folder structure question for revisions.

    We are trying to use the "assemblies -site standards- part name version" feature in the customer defaults of NX8 to control revisions. The problem we have now is the manufacturing guys use a different folder for their programs. If you use this feature you need to have the "from folder" or...

    Feature based maching help. Specifically what is a template based process?

    We are running NX8 and are trying to integrate feature based machining. When the create process dialog comes up it asks for rule based or template based. Since we are using templates for our current cam functions instead of rule based Id like to know what it looks for in a template. I get an...

    Has anyone figured out dow to fix the attribute problem?

    Thi problem also is not consistent. It could be size on one occasion but quantity in another and across different parts.
