Recently, in NX2306 and NX2406, we have experienced random pauses when exiting dialog boxes. (The pause is about 30 seconds) This issue occurs approximately 20% of the time, with the dialog box exiting immediately the other 80%. While this problem is most noticeable with the measurement command...
We are looking at the new sketcher vs the Legacy sketcher. We really like the legacy sketcher, but we do not know how long it will be on life support.
What do you like about the new sketcher?
Thanks
We are working on a casting part, in which we have an X datum as three datum target areas and Y datum Axis which is specified as a small portion of the taper.
Now the Z datum point, we want to use two sides of a drafted surface, and average these two points to create the Z datum point...
Has more companies been moving to MBD, vs 2D drawings? We are still using the hybrid system, where we have a 2D drawing with the most important dimensions, and all other surfaces default back to a surface profile to the 3D model. Just being curious of the MBD adoption over the last couple of...
We are having a small issue with a slot in a casting. The slot is a tertiary datum. The center of the slot is within the print. The issue is that the slot is rotated 1.5 degrees about the center of the slot. We want the tight location of the center slot which we have, we are also ok with the...
What is the industry standard, or standard on recording of what changed on a 2D drawing? For example, if we modify our print, we record every dimension and or note that gets changed on the print. This results in the tedious task of going in and ensuring you get everything recorded correctly.
As I mentioned in a different thread, are 2D drawings a dying art>? What is the future of 2D drawings, vs. 3D documented models? We are still using 2D drawings, but we are controlling only critical dimensions on the 2D drawing. We are looking into annotated 3D models or 3D PMI. As Cad...
I would like to set where my History Data is being stored. At the current time it is stored on the network, I would like to add an environment variable to change this location. Is this possible?
We follow Asme Y14.5-2009. There is a new requirement for us to callout installing a plug onto our housing on our detail print. So for example we have a machining drawing of a casting with all of the proper dimensions. Then they want to add a view to say install this plug after machining, but...
What are some of the best ways to maintain your tolerance stacks of a project from start, and into production? For example when starting a project, tolerance stacks are done, but once the project goes into production for a couple years, things get modified, and updated, the tolerance stacks...
I have a part that has a hole through it. The tolerance on the hole is relatively large. +/.06 of an inch.
When we received the part, the supplier machined two ends, and at the different ends of the tolerance, and it has a step in the middle of the hole.
See attached PDF. We do not want...
On a print if you specify a cored hole at the bigger side, then specify a 2 deg. draft adds mass, is the draft specified the included angle of the core, or is it per side? I believe it is per side (which would be a 4 deg Included angle) but can not find this in a standard any place. I also...
We have an assembly, that has a lot of components in it, when I highlight any of the many components in this assembly, the status bar shows a different part number than what the actual part number is. See the thread below. This is do to how our process works and how we rename stuff... We also...
I am putting in Datum symbols into a drawing. When I insert a datum feature symbol into a drawing, the cursor is highlighted (Or starts) in "stub Length" Field in the dialog box.
Is there a way I can change the behavior, so that the letter datum Identifier field is the starting place, not the...
Please see the older thread below.
Has there been any improvements for copying components in an assembly and retaining the assembly constraints of the components being copied?
Thanks.

We are having a discussion on how to communicate areas of a part, that is used for our vision systems, to the supplier, so that the supplier will not "modify this area" because it has an impact on the vision system in assembly.
For Example we had a part, and the parts thickness was over spec...
We are having an issue with our workstations crashing, Blue Screen during NX 11 updates. We have contacted GTAC, they mention a possible Driver issue. We are running HP z230 workstations. I am tossing this out here, to see if any one else has had this issue? All of our components are...
We have a need to define the exterior of a part from the interior of a part. The reason to do this is to apply a appearance standard for these exterior surfaces. For example no heat check on the exterior surfaces of the part.
The issue I am running into is how to define the location of...
we are having issues switching between parts in NX. The CTRL+Tab does not work. Also using the "Window" to toggle to different parts also does not work. We are using a custom setup so I am thinking it is something in this customization. The Out of the box NX11 CTRl+Tab does work. What area...
