    Remove studio lighting

    I have a part that I asked a colleague to apply a decal and see if it would work ok. Well, it did, but now saving takes forever and says "processing lights" during save for 75% of the save time. I deleted the decal and associated info, as well as run a part cleanup, but that doesn't seem to...

    UG NX 10 - Export or Link Measurements?

    Hey, is there a way to export a measurement value or multiple measurements to txt or xls file? I have a linkage assembly together where I am changing the length of 1 part and when I do this, it automatically changes the entire assembly layout because it is fully constrained. As it changes, I...

    NX7.5 Slot.

    I'm having trouble putting a slot in a sheet metal part. First off, the reason I want to use the slot feature is so I can dimension to the center of the slot(aka, add a centerline to the center of the slot) and not the ends. If there's an easier solution to this then stop reading and let me...

    The parts I work on create hundreds of expressions on their own as seen in the attached image. I'm curious if anyone knows why or how this happens and if there is a way to prevent this from happening?

    nx7.5 components do not have same controlling part???

    I don't understand whats going on here. I want to move a bunch of parts in an assembly. But I cant move them together because I get the error in the attachment. I select all parts and then select move, then the program deselects all the parts. I want to know why this is happening so I can...

    Mirror Facet Body NX7.5

    I want to mirror a facet body to see what a full studio surface will look like. Unfortunately I do not have the Shape Studio license. I can use Mirror Display, which mirrors everything visible. But this is just a quick look and I want something more definitive.

    Hotkey to rotate view 90 degrees UG NX7.5

    I worked in solidworks prior to UG, there's a nice function that is ctrl+(direction arrows) that rotates a view 90 degrees in whatever direction you want with the arrows. Is there a way to do this already in UG or can I create one? If I can create one, how?

I attached an example, please...

    I'm trying to create the curves I will use for a broken-out section view. In expanded view, when I attempt to add a rectangle or circle, I can click the first inferred point, but there are no curves that show up when creating the shape. Then when the dialogue is complete, nothing is there?? The...
