Thanks, yeah i have hidden them at the moment, didn't know if there was a way around it The reason for doing it this way is because i have 2 similar components, part A and part B, the difference between them is that part B has less holes but uses the same base as part A but they need to be...

Hi all, Don't know if this is possible but i have an assembly and used assembly cut, and synchronous modelling, i have 'deleted' the face of a hole but i am stuck with the 'thread' curve, is there any way i can delete this curve within the assembly as it is no longer needed, or is my only...

Hi All, Having some problems with tables if anybody could help. 1 - Can i get a table to automatically add another table next to itself at a certain length? I have managed to do this but only one table, i need it to add a third table. 2 - can i have a 'header' that will appear at the top of...

Hi All, I am wanting to show the hidden lines of some components in an assembly. For instance, a screw that goes through 2 pillars and inbetween the pillars is nothing, so the line would be dotted through the pillars and solid between them. If I click ‘style’ and change hidden lines to dotted...

Thanks jerry1423 Yeah thats faster, just easier to pick them from the drawing view when you have hundreds of parts, maybe its not something that can be done though

Hello all! Something has started to annoy me and i'm sure there must be a way around it. I am drafting and i have a large assembly, i am using the 'hide components in view' command, i select a few components and then it highlights the full assembly, you have to wait for it to 'un-highlight'...

Actually i have managed to solve this problem!

Hi all, Currently doing a drawing and there are a few instances where I need to auto balloon some elbows, they are the same component in different areas so ideally need their own balloon, I don't want to do the 'reference callout' as that just completely messes everything up (few hundred parts)...

Hello all, Hoping somebody can help here, i am currently creating a drawing and have inserted a parts list, the problem i am having is that i need to change the 'Part No.' of multiple items in the list to say 'REF ONLY', sounds simple! However when i do that the parts list bulks the items...

Hi all, Wanting to know if there is a way to reference the value of a table cell in the attributes? TO explain more, i have created a template where by it takes the 'name, part number, material & machine' from the master model, i did this by using the 'Attributes template' under utilities...

Hi all, Is it possible to lock the aspect ration inside a table? I currently have a table with the aspect ratio set to 0.775 and i am wanting to keep it that way, i am happy for the size of the text to change as long as the aspect ration stays the same. is there any way to lock it? i clicked...

Hi All, I'm setting up drawing templates with title blocks etc... We use the master model method (i.e. separate drawing and part files.) I want to get to the stage where; with a model file open, a user can click file>new then select the right drawing template and the fields in the title block...

Thanks PheoNX, yeah i thought that too but i put it into my background layer and turned it to visible only and cant select it anymore. I can go into properties/attributes to modify it or even go to 'Tools-Drawing Format-Populate Title Block' but just wanted to still double click it without any...

Hi all, I have just created a title block and border and wanted to know if there was a way to lock title block into position so that it cant be moved? I know i could just set it to a layer and make that layer 'visible only' but i still want the function of just double clicking on it to make...

Hi all! Wondered if anybody could help, i am currently creating a few drawings and i have put tables in, these will need to be edited on a regular basis. Is it possible to 'lock' the position of the table so that nobody can move it whilst still having access to change the variables within it...

Hi All, Just trying to create a drawing view whereby some parts of the component are sectioned where as the rest are not. I will try and explain as this isn't as straight forward as it sounds! I want to section down a shaft so that the gears are sectioned, however all other parts need to be...

Ah well, least there's a solution! Thanks bud!

Good idea, think i will use this approach thanks! Any idea as to why it didn't want to blend properly? Thanks again James

Hi all, I am currently using NX8.5, i have modeled a small band and need to put a chamfer in the 4 corners, the object is completely symetric but i only seem to be able to blend 2 of the 4 corners. I have attached the model with the two corners done, can anybody give me any advice as to where i...

Hi Guys, Thanks for the responses, i figured out a way around it, instead of using a distance constraint i made sure that they were inline with each other (constrained the holes in the guide) and then i used 'override position' and i was able to change the distance without affecting the...
