    NX12 changing units

    Is there a way to change units on the fly in NX12? In the past you could change it under analysis tab-units. That is no longer there. Help please! We get files that are metric, but our shop wants to measure values in inches. I would like to leave the native file metric and not convert the...

    NX mold wizard stock size

    Does anyone else have an issue with Mold Wizard stock size listing the diameter but changing the number to the radius? We have not been able to nail down when or why. It doesn't do it every time or every file, or even every part in the BOM of the same file. We use the same seed file for every...

    Need some advanced training

    I have been on UG for the past 13 years. The last training I went to was freeform modeling in 2006. What or where can I go to learn "best practices" for things like the "reuse library" and other changes and advancements? I look at the courses offered and have been thru most of them way back...

    Edit object display and translucency

    I am working in NX8.0.3.4 Why is it that when I edit object display to change a face color it asks if I want to turn on translucency? I always have to click NO. But there is a "yes always" button. If I mess up and hit the yes always, because I happen to get click happy, then I am stuck with...
