Long story short, we currently use a "company standard" that is loosely based on ASME and we are looking to fully implement one of the recognized standards. Due to the global nature of the company we are leaning toward ISO (but that hasn't been decided yet). We know that we will need to acquire...

We received a drawing with some symbols that we are not familiar with. I assume that the 1, 10, and 20 values (highlighted in yellow) are a callout of sorts that will associate the dimension with an inspection report. Is this correct or do the numbers have other significance? Also, what is the...
Max,
Attached is a model similar to what you posted a few days ago. This version does not use the "through curves" feature; it is pretty stable for reasonable size changes. The model was created in NX 9. I hope it gives you some ideas for your own model.
I'm looking to mount a small PCB in a plastic, water-resistant enclosure. On occasion, I need to get power through the enclosure to recharge the battery. The design uses small diameter (2mm [~.080 inch]) cylindrical pins press fit through the housing, perpendicular to the PCB. This will be a...
The company I currently work for makes a lot of injection molded plastic parts. We are looking into getting a "realize shape" license to help with styling these parts. I've seen a lot of demos and youtube videos of the realize shape process, but I've not seen any that make an object suitable for...
Where is the setting that controls the orientation of a parts list?
I'm asking because I have a part where the parts list comes in rotated at -90°, and I cannot seem to find the setting to fix it. The file was started in NX 8.5, it has since been saved in NX 9 format. Early on I created a...
I am revising a drawing that has a drafting image in it. The drafting image contains text (electrical specs for a power supply); as part of the revision, some text in this image needs to be updated. Is there a way to export/extract the drafting image to a raster file (.tiff, .jpg, .png, etc) so...
I have a file that I'd like to export to STEP214 format; I need to export the solid and curves (ideally also the coordinate systems). While I can get the solid to export, I can't seem to get the curves to export. I've tried the 'entire part' with 'curves' option selected and the 'selected...
So my coworker has a file where turning a layer off doesn't hide the object (but it does make it non-selectable). I tried going to "layer visible in view" and choosing the "reset to global" option as mentioned in threads:

thread561-333870
However, it doesn't seem to be working...
In the simulation app you can load multiple result files and synchronize the views so that you are always looking at both result sets from the same camera angle (i.e. any view manipulations [zoom, translate, rotate] happen in both viewports). I'm currently using Model Compare to verify the...
I have a component attribute that I would like to add to the parts list. Here is the procedure I follow:
place parts list
add column
edit text of cell, choose 'relationships', insert object attribute, choose desired attribute
This works in NX 7.5 but fails in NX 8, 8.5, and 9 with the error...
It appears that "groups" and "user expressions" have been eliminated from the part navigator top nodes in NX 8.5. I took a quick look at customization and preferences and didn't see an obvious way to get them back. Are they gone for good?

I've put together a journal that encapsulates my strategy for finding problematic geometry when a solid body doesn't pass the examine geometry solid/face checks. The journal will prompt you to select a solid body then it will run some geometry checks. If it does not pass the checks, the journal...
I have a view scaled at 3:2, when using the Nx style it shows 1.500x. I'd like this to read 1.5x, but I can find no way in the preferences to control the number of decimal places displayed. I've also been trying the formatting functions that can be used with expressions and other attributes...
In thread561-261407 I posted a file that gave an overview of converting part units and finished with instructions on how to integrate that into the explorer right click menu (right click on a part file to convert the units). The attached file is an update; the old version would error out if...
While working on a preliminary assembly drawing, I deleted several rows (components I did not need to show up for this particular meeting). In doing that, I deleted one row that I meant to keep. Is there an easy way to get it back without recreating the parts list?
I've already tried adding an...
While searching for journals to export parasolid files, I ran across an old thread:

I have a WF 4 file that is supposed to be linked to an Excel spreadsheet. The user provides inputs to Excel, calculations are performed, the results should drive parameters in the CAD file, Pro/E should post back results of a mass calculation, and finally a few more calculations are done and a...
