    Transitioning from NX 7.5, Advice?

    Completely spaced earlier. Combine --> Subtract is exactly what I needed. Next time maybe I'll actually digest what I've read. [conehead] Reading up on tuts, just figured I'd hit the forum. (It had been incredibly useful when learning NX) Thanks all. -Ty Tyler Candela CAD Operator...

    Transitioning from NX 7.5, Advice?

    Moment, That's where I'm at currently. Accurately placing the tool part is quite difficult. Furthermore, once I've finally got it (a shcs) in place I cannot simply select the body of the screw without windowing over it, the points and curves can only be selected independently. Also, the tool...

    Transitioning from NX 7.5, Advice?

    Tick, Everything seems very sketch dependent. Modeling what should be a simple subtraction(a contoured part holder for instance) is farcical at best. I guess that's a good starting point.. If you were to make a part holder from a block, how would you subtract the part from the block? I...

    Supression by Expression - Undersized Holes

    Thanks a lot John! [thumbsup] In time I'd like to figure out how to insert dimensions via macro or journal functions using the outer most points in x/y. Hopefully then I will have also learned how to create a notation driven by these dimensions. I'm sure you'll see more of me in the coming...

    Supression by Expression - Undersized Holes

    To clarify, The insertion of text would be in annotation / note form, and would need to be added while in drafting mode (along with dimensions of the width and height). This would obviously require a switch into and out of drafting mode. If there is some way that this text could be generated...

    Supression by Expression - Undersized Holes

    Hello, I'm new to the forums, so forgive me if this sort of inquiry is out of place, or out of line.. Part of my daily responsibilities include the preparation of plate files for exportation in .dwg format. These files are sent to be flame cut, and are subject to an array of limitations. I...
