    NX 8.5 I would like to create a stepped / segemented section view within the 3D model. I know this is possible in 2D by adding segments to a standard section. I have managed to get round this by creating a cutter and either doing a cut or assy cut, but wonder if there is an easier way using...

    Excel Tables Shift Allignment on exit/update

    NX 8.5 TC8 This may be a possible bug, it may just me missing something. When editing tables using excel, on exit and upload, the table in NX shifts allignment to the right. It then locks everything and will not change back. Nothing is formulated in excel, so not 100% sure where this defualt...
