    Squeaky Plastic Threads

    Some times plastics threads make a squeaking sound when unthreaded. If the material can not be changed for the application, can this problem be addressed with a different thread design (pitch to diameter ratio, thread section profile, etc…)?

    How to set up drawings attributes in NX3?

    I will like to set up attributes in my model that would automatically populate the drawing title-block for things like drawn by, date, etc. We do not use the master model concept, so the model and the drawings are on the same file. We are currently using NX3.

    Open JT Document without JT2Go?

    Dave: That seems to be the case, but if the receiving party have JT2GO loaded, they are better off opening the .jt file in JT2GO instead of PowerPoint (more functionality). I do not see the benefit of sending someone a .jt file embedded in PowerPoint, if they need JT2GO loaded anyway. Thank...

    Array of "Subdivide Face" in NX2

    I did not realize pattern face was available in NX2. I think I created your part. I can email it to you. The first feature is a block of dimensions x=100+n*2, y=100+n, z=5. Second, a sketch on the top face of the block of a rectangle, 3 sides are at a distance equal to n from the edges, the...

    Circular Array of a Free Form Feature

    That is a very interesting suggestion. However, in my case, I am going to use the Array later on a Boolean operation in a solid body. I am not allowed to use WAVE. So, I don’t think I can use your suggestion. Hector
