    Exporting NX for Visi

    Hi all. I have a new customer who is on Visi. I’m planning on exporting a stp file at the end. My question is is there any way to export with attributes so when they open with visi they can see material type, supplier etc. Or is there a better way to translate in this situation? It looks like...

    Mirror whole assembly NX

    Hi. I searched but didn't find anything on this. I am very familiar with the Mirror Assembly command. What I'm wondering is if there's a way to mirror a large assembly (with multiple sub-assemblies) via the command prompt or any other method so that it is it's own independent assembly...

    Converting sketch to lines and arcs.

    Future enhancement: allow delete parameters to be used on sketch? Right click on the sketch and wap the parameters just like on anything else... Thanks for your input guys. I thought for sure I was missing a really easy way but apparently not.

    Converting sketch to lines and arcs.

    Yeah. It seems like you should be able to kill the parameters of a sketch and it would then be just the lines and arcs.

    Converting sketch to lines and arcs.

    No solid body. Just "tracing over" a bunch of splines with sketcher to get nice tangent lines and arcs.

    Converting sketch to lines and arcs.

    Hi all. What is the easiest way to convert a sketch to un-parametrized lines and arcs? I have to be missing something. Right now, I'm copying the sketch curves to another layer and then deleting the sketch. Thanks.

    NX9 Edit Object. Colors do not "stick" to objects in assembly.

    Hi. When using edit object display in NX 9, I can't get the colors to adhere to the component while out in the assembly context. If I'm in an assembly and hit edit display, I select the object (component) and choose a color. "Apply to all selected faces" and "apply changes to owning part" are...

    Selection problem

    Ok. I think I stumbled on the root of the problem. The newest version of the driver for the SpaceExplorer USB (January 2014). It's a long story but I kind of accidentally figured it out today. Shut off the driver, everything was fine. Turn the driver on and the problems would start. I...

    Selection problem

    Tom, I'm not a computer expert by any means and am not sure what the graphics board would be. I'm pretty sure my card plugs right in to the motherboard. If there is a graphics board, I would try that... Thanks.

    Selection problem

    Yes John. They had me re install NX and try different drivers which didn't help at all. Graphics card is brand new. I've tried 3 or 4 different drivers. Thanks.

    Selection problem

    Hi all. I'm experiencing some strange behavior here. After working for a while, usually on surface intensive things, my selection rectangle dissapears when I go to box select something. The selected items still highlight, but I have to guess where the rectangle is. Also, while this is going on...

    Balloons not showing callout.

    Hi all. I am running autoballoon and have changed the callout value so that the columns are referencing a part attribute "Detail_Number". Some of the components are getting ballooned properly while others have a OC in the balloon. (See Pic) Why aren't those components getting the detail number...

    Boolean Colors Changing when moving parent objects.

    I am all to aware of those settings. The problems I was having are fixed in MP09. It is in the release notes as well. I can't vouch for any other version, but for me with this update, it fixed the problem. So far. To me this should never have been an issue. I've wasted countless hours changing...

    Boolean Colors Changing when moving parent objects.

    Yes superhiz. They fixed it! It is fixed with 7.5.5.4 MP9 which just came out. It "should" be good on all newer releases. Hope this helps!

    Boolean Colors Changing when moving parent objects.

    Hi. I have been struggling with this long enough! My problem is this. I have a "Fastener Library" with the different faces of the fasteners color coded to whichever customer standards. (different libraries for different customers) Screws, dowels and jackscrews. The screws work fine but for...

    Converting directory from mm to inch

    Never mind. I needed to change the directory name to 1756_Design. It needed the underscore... Feel free to delete this post. Thanks anyhow. adam

    Converting directory from mm to inch

    Hi. Did something change on 7.5? I am converting an assembly from mm to in. using the convert part utility. at the prompt I type in ug_convert_part -in -d C:\0-Main\Designs\customer\1756\1756 Design I get an error saying that there are too many parts in the directory. This is how I have...

    NX7.5 Updating while saving

    Where do I find the refile utility? Thanks.

    NX7.5 Updating while saving

    Yes. It seems to want to do a lot of updating every time I open the assembly and do my first save.
