    Duplicate Surfaces

    Is there a quick way of run a test to make sure I don't have duplicate surfaces on my model. I have to import a lot of models from other cad systems and normal have to repair them and this has been a problem in the past when I come to sew the surfaces together to create a solid. Thank you...

    offset curve

    I am trying to offset a curve down a x and y axis so far the only tools I am using will only let me offset in one direction If anyone can help this would be appreciated. Thank you Daniel Lamb please see picture attached.

    Updated Sketch

    I have updated a sketch but there seems to be a hole in the chain? Is there a analysis tool I can run quickly to find the gap instead of going through the sketch bit by bit?

    Select assembly

    When working in a assembly you can select a assembly (even through there is only one assembly) and you can make parts in your assembly lightweight. How do these work???

    Measure signs on screen

    Hi I am having a problem with measuring solids and the measure icon stays on screen and I can not get rid of it does anyone else have this problem and knows how to turn it off? http://i60.tinypic.com/205ttmr.jpg[/IMG]]http://i59.tinypic.com/sv2lpi.jpg[/IMG]]

    Face analysis

    When I am using the face analysis to check my tapers I find a lot of my faces/surfaces are backwards and I end up selecting them one by one to reverse them. Is there away to make sure when I am modelling them to make sure they are facing the right up or when I have finished and come to check...

    dimensioning in sketch

    Is there a quick way of when using rapid dimension in sketch to change from linear measurement to an angle measurement. Thank you Regards Daniel Lamb.

    Flatness

    Is There a way I can see if a surface/sheet is flat to a wcs? In the past I have notice sheets/surfaces have been not flat but only when I look dead close I have attached a jpeg on what I am try achieve. Thank you. Regards Daniel...

    wcs view

    Is there a way of changing the f8 view? If I have a new wcs I want to view it by pressing f8 but this always seems to rotate to the original or world wcs there must be a way to reference to the new wcs? Thank you. Regards Daniel Lamb

    Measure to new wcs

    When I want to measure a part to a new wcs I have to change my reference to wcs but in the xc yc and zc it output coordinates go back to the original wcs and I have re enter a zero value in the xc yc and zc. Is there a way to have them already set to the new wcs so they will read zero? I have...

    simulation

    Hi people, I want to make my assembly move or to create some simulation in modelling using the move component tool in assembly tools. I have seen this done before but not sure how to make the assembly move using this? I do not have the license for any of the advanced simulation so that is a no...

    programs to run through journal

    Hi everyone, Does anyone have on here have any useful programs that I can run through the journal tool that will help me with day to day modelling tasks. Thank you. Regards Daniel Lamb

    spring

    I am try to produce a spring with a variational sweep I have used a helix curve and then in sketch using on path I have drawn the outside profile of my spring but when I try to use variational sweep it says the path must be single connected section??? even thou I have sketch on path what am I...

    Measure distance in a assembly

    When I try to measure a distance between two objects in a assembly with my measure distance tool I can only select one solid because this is the work part but not the other solid? Is there away around this or am I using the wrong measuring tool?

    Thicken

    I am have problems adding thicken to a sheet body I am try to add a thickness of 5mm but it will not let me do this and in my alerts boxes it says 1. An edge that might be affected by the change can not be found. 2. Thicken operation failed. 3. Can not apply thicken. Does anyone have any...

    stl files

    Is there anyway of turning a Stl file into a Nx file in Nx so I can get measurements off the Stl file to build a new model? Thank you. Regards Daniel lamb.

    Linked Bodys

    When I use Wave geometry linker to extract a surface or a body in my modelling tree it shows this as a linked body. How do I break the link so that in my modelling tree it shows the broken link symbol?
