    Thank you, John.

    audit constraint for a given part in assembly

    On NX5, is there a way to display the assembly constraints in effect for a given part in an assembly? Seems that all the constraints are lumped into a single folder in the tree, and when you have an assembly with many components, it gets difficult to audit the constraints for a specific member.

    Defining Helix Law Curve(s)

    Jason, A while ago I asked a series of questions about parametric helix creation, and John Baker gave some really informative answers. You might be interested to check out the thread at: http://eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=164528

    How to either 1. turn off ActiveX restriction or 2. choose firefox

    Tim, Thanks for your suggestions. It's not really a big deal but I thought it would be nice (and apparently NX uses mozilla on linux so I thought, why not on windows?)

    How to either 1. turn off ActiveX restriction or 2. choose firefox

    hmm, that doesn't work so well. With quotes around the paths, nothing happens - firefox doesn't even load.

    How to either 1. turn off ActiveX restriction or 2. choose firefox

    tim, the problem isn't getting firefox to launch, its that the url (ie the settings in castenv.bat) aren't being read properly by firefox. So, the UGII_CAST_BROWSER=C:\Progra~1\Mozill~1\firefox.exe works to launch ff, as does UGII_CAST_BROWSER=C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe...

    How to either 1. turn off ActiveX restriction or 2. choose firefox

    Firefox is default browser. So I just tried modifying castonly.bat by remarking out the line "set UGII_CAST_BROWSER=IE2" and replacing with: "set UGII_CAST_BROWSER=C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" This worked to cause CAST to launch firefox, but somehow the directory handling is...

    How to either 1. turn off ActiveX restriction or 2. choose firefox

    Nothing stopped working; I want to figure out a way to have CAST & Docs use Firefox (or Opera). I don't necesarily mind what the browser is INSIDE of NX. Mainly, I already use Firefox for all my browsing so it'd be nice if, when I launch CAST or Docs, it just opens a new tab in the firefox...

    How to either 1. turn off ActiveX restriction or 2. choose firefox

    Any ideas on how to select an alternate browser in Windows? I played with the environment variable but haven't gotten anything to work. Still uses IE for the browser.

    Everytime I launch help from within NX, my Internet Explorer complains: "To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options..." I have to manually allow the content each...

    Recording video in NX4?

    Another approach, probably more useful for more complex animations, is to figure out how to control the on-screen position or orientation of the part with parameters; then export high-resolution screenshots as you change the parameter very slightly. Then you can use a video-editing software to...

    PMI, created on 3D model, associative to Drafting?

    Following up on inheriting of PMI, I am wondering what the recommended process to inherit GD&T onto a drawing is. I can succesfully inherit PMI, but for some reason my GD&T is not pulling through, even though I am doing the "MB3 > Style > Base > Inherit GDT In Drawing Plane" I have a feeling...

    ewh - thank you very much! Anyone know what the particular improvements to PMI / Drafting integration are with NX5, over NX4?

    PMI, created on 3D model, associative to Drafting?

    Is it possible to import the PMI created while in Modeling (3D view), into the Drafting application? I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Actually, can anyone please explain the "recommended" or "normal" process of using PMI to communicate manufacturing requirements to a machine shop, in...

    PMI: move annotation?

    NX4.0.3.3 MP04 I'm having trouble repositioning or moving a PMI Label (created with Annotation Editor). Actually, I'm having trouble repositioning the following: PMI Label PMI Feature Control Frame PMI Datum Feature Symbol. If I double click any of these, I can only edit the text of the label...
