@drawoh - I agree with you, and have worked that way for some time. I recently took a job that supports the Military. Yes, we have full-size printers... perhaps all in North America. Change is slow here.
@IRstuff - Thanks! Do you consider this "Open Source?" May I take and modify?
We have a few different CAD platforms, but we are considering moving all our A-Size and B-Size drawings to WORD since they are usually text, tables or charts. This eliminates maintaining all those drawing formats in CAD.
I keep trying to find a generic WORD template I can start from - I can't...
The company I just started with is really behind the times. Despite using Creo-Windchill, we are still signing E-size paper drawings and scanning them into raster PDFs. We have a project to move us to electronic review and approval, but we are completely reinventing the wheel... and going very...
Thanks
It does not work from Basic Curves either. I spoke to GTAC.
The re-enabled it in 12.0.2
If you go to the Customize search for your Ribbon, you can type in: Legacy. Add that to your ribbon.
That is the current work around.
You can no longer Trim Curve in Drafting as far as we can tell in our newly-upgraded NX12. I can understand NX pushing geometry creation in Modeling as a principle. But we have a lot of legacy layouts and schematics that have curves in Drafting that cannot be edited (trimmed) for revisions...

Attached here is a PDF which shows GE Inspira Font used in the modelhttp://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=9249ac38-8049-4bc1-959b-06e583fb7260&file=COWSKI-TEST.pdf
I work for a large company that has it's own font - which looks great. We are considering switching to that with our Models, Drawings and PMI.
As we become more model-based, our concern is that when we send our models out for manufacture, if the recipient supplier does not have our font (and...
We are considering a change, but worried that our model-based, PMI parts, could have problems if recipients don't have the same font available. Then it would have to revert to a default, and maybe make mess with formatting. So a "GE" font may fail when outsiders use our PMI.
The company I work at has been using the ancient BLOCKFONT in all CAPS for decades.
Very "old-looking."
Do your drawings have a contemporary look?
Does your company use a modern font?
Which one?
Thanks John, I will give that a try.
I've only used Assembly Cut on single parts. But you're saying it will let me do one cut operation on 150 Target bodies simultaneously? Effectively removing half of a machine?
Does NX have the ability to section, and eliminate half of an assembly, so that the remianing solids can be turned into an STL file for printing?
I have a large fabrication assembly made up of several hundred parts. We'd like to make a 3D Print of half of it (so you can see the internals). It...
* Caution, this is pure whining - but want to know what other users think. Can Siemens put more effort into intuitiveness?
The 50-50-90% rule with NX is that when an operation is binary in nature (50-50%) NX will 90% of the time pick the option I don't want. Does anyone else see this?

A user here created a partial bolt circle using a center point and 2 holes. Works great. He then changed the scale of the view, and dimensions to the bolt circle changed. The radius was different as well as the angle between the holes.
It appears the associativity to the center point gets...
As I mentioned, we have poured over every possible setting. I can assure you we do not have "fit to page" turned on. Especially, since a 7-foot print does not have a "page" to fit to.
We told a professional printer they would get our business if they could print it to 1:1 scale. I'm sure...
We always use Export > PDF,
Scale 1:1.
Sending to engineering plotter.
Never mess with "fit to page" or anything like that.
Spent a lot of time pouring over any detail that could move the scale away from perfect.
Our Rings are about 6 feet in diameter, so we put 4" x 4" squares in the...
