    Coordinate system disappears when rotating

    upgraded to 2020, when I place a coordinate system in my model, when I go to rotate or pan, the coordinate system disappears! Can't find a setting to stop this from happening, or might it be a graphic card thing? help

    NX12 Assembly and Component color changing

    I select all components in my tree, right click, select Properties there is a check mark in the box under Layers called 'Specific component color' If I uncheck this box, all the components revert back to the source colors. My question, how did that box get checked?

    NX12 Assembly and Component color changing

    NX12 Somehow, my complex assembly of a large number of parts, when I open the assembly, all y components are the same color. If you open each component individually, the component has the correct color. But when rolled up into the assembly, all the parts have the same color. Isn't there an...

    NX 12 Drafting Model color in views

    Haven't been using NX for a while. NX 12. So I created an assembly of individual parts, each part file is surfaces that I have identified by a certain set of colors by part function. I rolled up all 8-10 part files in an assembly part file, and in this assembly part file, I over-ride the colors...

    NX 7.5 sliding clip bar - how to turn off ???

    Thank you all for the first rate responses. I found this setting, indeed this setting is there. However, my system admin does not permit me to alter the customer defaults, therefore, I am screwed. But, indeed, this will turn off the rail. Steve

    Going backwards to NX 7.5.... Can't remember how to turn off the sliding clip thingy that slides back and forth at the top below the taskbars. Can that be turned off in 7.5? I think I could do it in NX 8 and 10. Not sure about 7.5. If anyone know how to disable or turn it off, that would be...

    Turning Translucency on, but wont turn off

    NX 10 In my top level assembly, I selected "Edit Object Display" and selected several parts, slid the "Translucency" bar over to 50 percent, and saved the model. Came back to the model later, decided I did not want the parts translucent, now it won't let me change the Translucency back to zero...

    NX10 Reference geometry does not show in top level assy

    Used NX8 some years ago, new to NX10........ I seem to recall that when you had an assembly with multiple parts open, the reference geometry (planes, Coordinate systems, etc) of the individual components could be visible and selectable to use for assigning constraints, etc. I can only see the...

    Saving NX10 2D drawing to 2D DXF file problems

    Component part structure displayed in assembly Navigator...setting?

    New to NX10...last used NX8 a few years ago. Seems like I remember that when you have components in an assembly file, that when you look at the structure in Assembly Navigator window, you could click on the plus symbol next to the component name and the component structure would be there to...

    NX10 pre-made title blocks for each drawing size

    New to NX 10 Do I REALLY have to make a new title block table for each drawing size template I need to make for my company? Hasn't someone made up a bunch of pre-made title block tables that I can choose from and paste into my drawing template file? Am I the only one not interested in the...

    SolidWorks 2014 Import settings

    In SOlidWOrks 2014, is there a way to control how SolidWorks imports various 3D CAD formats, specifically STEP files?? Why is it that SolidWorks imports STEP files as surfaces, not solid bodies? Is that a function of how the original file was saved? What I really want is to import the STEP file...

    Pattern features on a spiral surface

    New SW 2014 user Checked the archive, did not see an answer to my problem... I created a sketch of a 2D spiral curve, then Extrude Surface. This creates a spiral surface. Next, I created another 2D sketch, lines and curves, tangent to the spiral surface. Then using Wrap, I can place the...

    Patterns makes everything STOP !!!

    Anna, made sure the setting was off. Check SBaugh, tried playing around with the position of the freeze bar, did not seem to make much difference in the preformance of the model further down the tree. Only poistive thing I find is to suppress the previous patterns while each new pattern is being...
