    Features you wish NX had?

    A simple wish, the ability to add a background picture when modeling in regular viewing mode not have to switch to studio mode and in addition the ability to pick from a color wheel the background gradient colors along with the value cells. Thanks, Buddy.

    Remove all tree structure without exporting as part.

    Thanks, I use near the end of a design to reduce the file size and have a simple base solid to work with before draft and fillets. Sometimes I also just export a part and check the remove parameters method to save a copy, that way I have the original if I need it. B.

    Looking for video topics

    I would like to see some comprehensive vids on shape studio surface modeling Class A workflow in NX. Maybe half a sports car with some complex geometry and cover section surfaces. Thanks, Bud.

    Machine definition.

    NX 9.1 I own a Techno Isle gantry 3 axis servo router and I would like to set it up in NX and if possible I would like to know how I can draw in 3D the machine so that I can see it when running tool path verification. Do I need to start with a machine definition? Thanks,Bud

    Realize shape weld vertex

    NX 9 when I create a primitive box with six sides and select a face and extrude a few times like adding sections to a worm, then delete one of the sections in the middle I get two shapes now with one open sides and in the part navigator this is all one feature, I can fill a face on the two items...

Question one. On the object snaps bar by default I have endpoints, point on facet and point on face selected, I...

    Snip Facet Body

    Hi,NX 9, I would like to know how to close the draw boundry when clicking point to point. The only way I have been able to close the boundry is to add a new set and it will automatically close then I have to remove the new one I just created which is (open), why can I not snap the last point to...

Then I define the title block and later populate it no problem but can I undo the define title block so that it goes back to the original tables. also is...

    Diameter arrow settings in PMI

    NX 9, I would like to know where I can set the arrow behavior from two arrows that are on the outside to the outside of a PMI diameter dim, to one arrow on the outside of a diameter feature. I can change it one at a time by right clicking and edit but where is it located so that when I create...

    Tables in drafting.

    When I insert a table to be used to make a custom title bar I would like to know how I can move the table using snaps so that I can snap to the border in the lowwer right corner instead of just moving it in place by eye close to where I want it to be. Any suggestions welcome, maybe it is...

    Save a pax file with a model.

    Hi I am able to start a new blank.prt file and go to the drawing app and create a custom sheet and change some things like borders and layer catagories and so on then save the file to a different folder to be used as a template file, then adjust the ugii_env.dat file to point to the folder as...

    Extrude to vertex or point.

    Very good, I have tried all the suggestions and I can live perfectly happy that. Thanks.

    Extrude to vertex or point.

    Thanks, the avi movie explains. So you can do it but it is not associative, Wouldn't it be easier if NX simply added up to point to the end condition choices? and is there any reason why it could not be associative. And to the first answer, yes I am fully aware that an extrude needs a direction...
