Afternon- I have some drawings which aren't making a lot of sense, one of the viewslooks like it's been based on three points- which points, I don't know.
Now, our supplier (The drawing was originally outsourced) has requested a change to one of the dimensions shown in this view. They don't...
Hi all, I know similar questions to this have been asked before, but I haven't been able to find an answer that solves my specific problem.
Generally at my work the part numbering is pretty good- the only time I get the "part number conflicts error" is when I'm overlaying two different releases...
Morning all-
If I'm updating a drawing (V5 R18) and give it a new release number, sometimes I'll go to "save as" (to upissue the title) and accidentally click save instead. Bit of a pain. I know it's a long shot, but is there any way of adding a check message to confirm, or do I just need to be...
Hello all-
I'm essentially pretty new to Unigraphics, having not touched it in the last 3 years and even then at a very basic level (Extrude! Extrude again! Negative boolean extrude!). Normally I use Catia v5, but we're looking into Unigraphics and whilst I'm in the process of booking some...

I'm unsure how to differentiate between indicating a centreline of a hole or shaft and indicating the surface of that part. I've attached a screenshot to show what I mean- from what I remember one uses the datum in line with a dimension, and one doesn't. But I'm not sure.
This is...
Afternoon all-
I currently work in the automotive industry, doing a lot of work in Catia modelling coolant pipes etc. We've just had a lot of interest from another customer that uses Unigraphics. Now, we've stopped our Unigraphics support, so currently we're stuck with 7.5.
So:
Question 1...
Afternoon all-
I'm trying to create a counterbored hole that goes through two thicknesses, with a thread on one. It's for a bolt that you can tighten to pinch a part together (best see attached photo) but can't figure out how to leave a plain section on the thread definition. Does anyone know...
Morning... I've been bothered by this one for a while now. In the attached image, the associated text is the "2x". I'd like to shift the whole thing over to the right a little bit. Any ideas how?
I've tried to make it a fake dimension but couldn't insert the diameter symbol.
Cheers...
Morning all... In my line, we deal with a lot of upissued parts from auto manufacturers, and we have to overlay the old and new revisions in order to ascertain the changes. Normally the part number won't change- just the revision.
Now, when I do this, I normally do new product, then insert new...
Morning all- I've recently won some work designing some tube assemblies, and would like a spec for burrs & edges on tube ends. Does anyone know of anything?
Cheers

Morning all-
I'm sure it's something of a "blind spot" with me- but I can't see a way of moving a view to get exactly as I'd like- Ideally I'd want to click the function, then click a line representative of X, then a line to be Y, job done. rotating 90 degrees would also be a bonus, as you can...
Afternoon...
I've been sent some .JT files, which we can't open at work in Catia (which is most of my CAD stuff). I opened them in unigraphics and can view them as lightweight bodies, but when I try to export as a STP or IGES file, the part is created empty.
Bearing in mind that I only have...
Morning all-
Is there any way to do this? I constantly have V5 revisions 18 and 20 open at the same time, and I'm always accidentally saving files in R20- so then I can't send them to customers using R18, which is a real pain. It'd be really useful to have the revision number of the program at...
Afternoon all-
I'm trying to establish a method of creating carline co-ordinates for some parts in a drawing- I can import the 3D points from the model and create co-ordinates table, and fundamentally it works well. What I would love to be able to do, though, is set the marked points in a...
Morning all...
I'm getting better with Unigraphics at work, and I wouldn't mind doing a couple of personal bits and bobs with it.
First job on the list is designing my campervan interior- and if possible, I'd like to apply a wood texture to a few of the surfaces (so I can view it as it'll...
Morning!
I'm trying to do some pretty simple stuff at work- I 've been opening stp files, then start/drawing, drawing my dimensions etc, then trying to save my assembly so that I can move it around, pop it on different backup drives, send it to people etc. So i've been exporting a part file...
Morning all- I've a new issue for you. It's not a huge problem, I can "fudge it" by adding lines, but sometimes when I'm dimensioning a part, one of my extension lines will be missing.
It seems to be random, and when I check dimension style settings everything seems to be in place- is this a...
Hopefully this'll just be simple, I've already asked a question today and I don't want to bother people too much- I need to dimension from the centre line of a curved solid (a bracket that gets welded to a pipe).
this is what I basically need to see in drafting-
but I can't find a way to...
Hi all, another newbie question I'm afraid.
In NX7.5, I'm importing STP files to make drawings of them. These files open at a distance from the coordinate system- this is making importing views a pain when in drafting, as the standard views are mostly of space. Does anyone have any tips on how...
Hi all- I've just started my first design engineer job, and I'm having to use templates, something I didn't really bother with at university (I just adapted the standard template unigraphics gives you)
now, i've made my template as a drawing, saved it as a .prt file and modified my PAX file so...
