One of my users is randomly getting a "NX License Error: Cannot find license file. Check that SPLM_LICENSE_SERVER is set correctly.[-1]" error when clicking on the "Edge Blend" icon. He's modeling a part and can do most everything, including edge blends sometimes, but after a while when he wants...

Ok, assuming I backup and delete my CATSettings, now what? Isn't there something in the CATSettings that drives this, and if so, why can't I go straight there and change it? Win7-SP1 (64bit) / NX7.5.4.4 MP2 Rev D / CATIA V5R20 SP4 HF49

This morning when I opened CATIA all of my 3D geometry is stretched/skewed horizontally. A quick search of the forum produced the following threads... thread560-157844 thread560-146567 ...but both of these are assuming a new widescreen setup. I've been using a widescreen laptop and secondary...

Thanks, John. I guess maybe it's the simplicity of our parts that doesn't cause trouble for us. We design out the door single parts, with an occasional two piece assembly, so the chances of two people working on the same file are very limited. WinXP-SP3 / NX5.0.4.1 MP6M / Catia V5R18 SP6HF62...

John, Regarding this... "Also, working with the model and drawing in one file, while that's possible with NX it is NOT recommended and you should be working in the Master Model mode. In fact, if you use the provided template files this will be the default behavior." Can you explain a little...

I'm not familiar with dmadmin at all, so even though it may be a little tedious and take some time, I think we will opt for exporting/importing pkg files. I guess I was just hoping there was an easy way to copy the TDM over by copying the files and then modifying a couple of config files or...

Is it possible to move our TDM to a new drive? Our TDM currently resides on one PC's local hard drive (C:), but we want to move it to a shared drive on a network server so that multiple people can access it from their own PC's. Can this be done? I know it's not as simple as copying and...

To add some closure to this, I resorted to reinstalling NX5 and that did the trick. Windows Explorer now shows the NX thumbnail for NX part files. Thanks to all for the advice and suggestions. WinXP-SP3 / NX5.0.4.1 MP6 / Catia V5r18 / NX I-deas 5.3.0.14

Yep, re-installing NX is going to be my last option, but I was hoping to avoid that if I could. ;) WinXP-SP3 / NX5.0.4.1 MP6 / Catia V5r18 / NX I-deas 5.3.0.14

I've attached a snap shot. On the left is what shows in the "Icons" view, but when I switch to "Thumbnails" the picture on the right shows up. Before I installed Wildfire 5.0, the thumbnail image would actually show a thumbnail of my model, which made browsing for sample files easy to do based...

Thanks, Hudson, but I've already done this. I've also deleted all of my "thumbs.db" files, and they still don't show the preview. WinXP-SP3 / NX5.0.4.1 MP6 / Catia V5r18 / NX I-deas 5.3.0.14

In the past I've been able to select "Thumbnail" view in Windows Explorer and see thumbnails of all of my NX .prt files. However, I recently had to install Pro/Engineer Wildfire 5.0 on my computer to maintain old archived files. Since Pro/E also uses the .prt file extension, it overwrote the...

When I create an isometric view in drafting, the coordinate system does not appear, yet I see it in drawings that others create. How do I get the coordinate system to appear next to my part in an isometric view? WinXP-SP3 / NX5.0.4.1 MP6 / Catia V5r18 / NX I-deas 5.3.0.14

Thanks, xtocobofc. Do you happen to know the exact command that needs to be entered? WinXP-SP3 / NX5.0.4.1 MP6 / Catia V5r18 / NX I-deas 5.3.0.14

I know it's the interoperability data interface, which allows you to export IDI files that can be viewed with viewers, but can they be brought back into I-DEAS? I'm just a novice I-DEAS user, and someone sent me some .idi files that I'd like to open. If not I-DEAS, are there any free viewers...

Thanks, John. I understand that the system retains the values from my previous session, however, they don't appear to retain whatever my last entry was. Instead, they revert back to what I can only guess is the first values I used on my first extrude after installing the software. For...

Where are the default values for the start and end distances stored? I have no idea how the current default values were established, and I'd like to change them. I skimmed through preferences and customer defaults but didn't find anything. TIA WinXP-SP3 / NX5.0.4.1 MP6 / Catia V5r18 / NX...

John, I checked the GTAC Solutions database after reading NXConsultants' post, and the open issue there states that it appears to have been fixed in NX 5.0.6.3. Unfortunately, since I'm at the mercy GM, I'm stuck at NX 5.0.4.1. I'll just have to force myself to use the "Single Edges" selection...

John, as a test I created a blend with multiple (yet independent, nontangent) edges first with "Tangent Edges", and then again elsewhere with "Single Edges". When modifying the "Tangent Edges" blend, deselecting one deselected them all, even thought the edges were on totally different areas of...

I'm using NX5.0.4.1, and since I've migrated up from NX3, I can no longer deselect just one edge of a previously created blend in which I had selected multiple edges. For example, I created a blend and selected 5 different edges (none of them tangent to each other or connected to each other...
