    How to change default reference set in Add Component

    When adding parts to my assembly, it always defaults to how the part was saved. I changed my load options to default to something else, but it doesn't work. It loads "Model" and I would like to change it to "Detail" by default as that is what was used in our legacy parts as the default. Don't...

    NX Datum Feature Symbol

    Is there a way to make datum feature symbols stand out on a drawing? When people look at prints, they always have a hard time locating the datum callouts. They have asked about possibly shading them, but I see problems with this as well. Has anyone come up with a good way to make them easier...

    NX5 file fails to load in NX9

    I am having problems opening a certain NX5 file in NX9 (I have tried hundreds of others with no problem). We use master model so there is a .prt file, and a -drw.prt file. The only component in the -drw.prt file is the .prt file... no other reference components. The .prt file opens just fine...

    Relocating nx502_Threaded_Hole_Standard.xml to Shared Network

    I would like to locate the nx502_Threaded_Hole_Standard.xml file to a shared network so that I can easily edit it from one location to eliminate distribution to downstream users. How is this possible as I don't see this in the ugii_env.dat file? Thanks, Matt

    Change drafting sheet name to attribute

    Currently all of my new drafting sheets come in as Sheet "Sheet 1". Is there anyway to get this to show up as an attribute-1 instead? So if I had an attribute with a value of BODY, my sheet names would be: BODY-1 BODY-2 and so on. Is this possible? Thanks, Matt

    NX9 Journal File to Import Part to Multiple Drafting Sheets

    I currently have a journal file to delete all of my old titleblocks (from all sheets at once). Then I have to go to each sheet individually and run smaller journal files to import the titleblock of choice. Instead, I would like to import my new titleblock into every sheet in 1 step. Does...

    NX Shaft partially threaded from each end

    I want to make a shaft that has a through hole. I want each end to have a thread that goes in a certain distance, but not a complete threaded hole. No matter what I do, it only shows up as being threaded on one side in my drawing. To get it to show correctly, I have to manually add a Thread...

    NX9 Feature Parameters

    We are finally upgrading to NX9 from NX5 and I'm looking to help our productivity when it comes to Drafting. We currently manually enter in most of our information for hole callouts. I noticed the Feature Parameter option, but I can never get it to work correctly. I would like it to...
