    NX 2206 Search Menu

    Frankly, the new search menu in NX 2206 sucks! It's slower and it takes up the full screen. I surveyed some other users in my company, since I'm not a daily user and they confirmed the same sentiments. Is there a way to customize it and restore the smaller version so it doesn't take up the...

    NX2206 Custom background

    Upon entering this new version of NX2206, I imported my user role with my custom macros, one of which is toggling the background color from white to blue. These macros no longer work. It turns out they removed background functionality now there is only presets so you can select from. Is there...

    Rapid Surfacing on a regular solid facet body

    It seems Rapid surfacing can only be created using convergent faceted bodies. However, I'd like to use this feature on a regular solid or face surface (not a convergent faceted body). My current work around is to export the solid as a .stl , then re-import it to perform the rapid surfacing...

    Combine multiple Point Sets into one Point Set

    How do you combine Point Sets in NX 8.5 yes/no? I'd like to do this to create a surface using Fit Surface. This works great with one point set but not with multiple sets. In addition is there way to modify an existing set to delete certain points? Any help would be appreciated.

    Build an assembly / drag and drop

    I can build an assembly by utilizing my 2 monitors. 1 window NX assembly file, 2nd window is the explorer file window. When i drag the file over it defaults to add component but then it skips the initial dialog and goes straight to assembly contraint touch align. This would be fine accept...

    NX8 Journal Editor

    Hello World, I am new to NX journaling but not new to Visual Basic programming. Is it possible to use a different editor than the one provided? I am used to Catia and Microsoft Visual Basic for applications (VBA) and the editor provided doesn't provide stepping nor any syntax coloring of the...
