    Classification Admin: "Cannot Classify the Workspace Object"

    Our site has created our own Classification library and I was able to classify individual items without issue, leaving the Part Families for last as I'd tested them in our sandbox and didn't run into any issues. Now I'm running into issues in both the Sandbox and Production where when I try to...

    Creating Flexible Hoses

    I'm wondering if anyone has a good guide to follow on how exactly to create flexible/deformable assemblies in the mechanical routing package, complete with clocking angles and all that, in NX9. I've been trying to follow the limited information found in the NX9 help files, and I think I'm very...

    [NX 7.5] Editing Custom Symbols Inside Notes

    So I've just figured out how to create and use Custom Symbols inside NX 7.5 Drafting. Even better, I got it working almost for a flagnote perfectly. Scaling, leaders, flexible text, and all that jazz. However, the way I was able to get a leader on the Symbol was to put it inside a Note and use...

    NX 7.5: View Style - Perspective

    Is there any information I can find about the Perspective options for Drafting Views in 7.5? For whatever reason the WCS is something like a billion miles from where the actual part is (very poor modeling standards in our company), and I think it's messing with where the distance is suppose to...

    NX/TC Initialization Error

    I'm wanting to edit a part family to add a couple more children. Problem is that every time I try to open up the model to get to the spreadsheet, NX refuses to open, giving an initialization error about saved searches. If you can't see the image, it says: When I click on the "My Saved...

    Graphical View Selector [NX 7.5]

    So, I've been playing around with Solidworks 2014 for some personal projects at home and I came across a feature for View Selection where you hit Ctrl + Space and it brings up a little animation where you can select whatever view of the model you want. I work with NX 7.5 at my job and was...

    [NX 7.5] Automatically Move Sketch to Layer After Use

    I've been using NX 7.5 for a few months and I've been doing pretty alright with the transition from Solidworks to NX. One of the things I miss most from SW is that after you use a sketch, it hides it. Is there a way to set up NX so that I don't have to move each sketch to the layer myself after...

    NX 7.5 Shows Datums in Part, but not in Assembly

    I originally had a pair of Datum Axes on this spring part, but I needed to replace them with a better definition. So, I deleted them and replaced them with them being defined by the intersection of planes. Everything went fine, I created them and moved the features to the corresponding layer...
