    How to find out who uses the license

    In reply to how PhoeNX does it without a computer. If you watched the last episode of Sherlock, The evil genius recovered information by appearing to type in the air and then seeing the results in his mind. PhoeNX does the same. Just as evil and as much a genius. Peter Crookall Snr...

    NX 7.5 raster image

    Hi John Quick question on 'Raster Image" in NX9 In previous versions raster image needed a Visualise license. In NX 9 the raster image displays in all view types shaded wire frame etc. Is this a licensing over-site or has the Visualise license requirement gone forever. Peter Crookall Snr...
