    Coordinate Dimension - FTA

    Since it appears that parallel to screen option is no bueno....There has to be a macro out there in the world that will grab the XYZ coordinate and put it into a Text with Leader or just Text. Anyone know of such a thing? I'm searching the vast consciousness of the interwebs right now.

    Coordinate Dimension - FTA

    Morning, This is a sanity check... After making a Coordinate Dimension from the Functional Tolerancing & Annotation workbench, I wanted to make the dimension appear parallel to screen. When I click on Properties, there is no "Display Tab", which is where the option to make something appear...

    Scale Body Function: Point to new body

    Morning, I've scaled down a body. I've now created a new body due to changes, and want the Scale Body function to point to this new body. Is NX incapable of this? Do I really have to recreate everything following the Scale Body function? I'm new to NX, so I'm a little baffled and frustrated...

    Customize Reuse Library component

    Ok, I see it. I hit Update Parts, but then I get a Runtime Error. We still use Excel 2007 (yes, we still live in the dark ages [mad] Does this have something to do with the error?

    Customize Reuse Library component

    Hi, I'm trying to modify the Part Family spreadsheet of one of the reuse library components, for example, a Socket Head Cap Screw. However, when I go to actually edit the spreadsheet, any changes I make....don't stick and I don't get prompted to save. I've made a copy of the master.prt, the...

    Move Component - Coordinate/Snap/Move Box

    Hi, In the attached picture, I'm pointing to a box that pops up when moving components. Is there any way to get this box to stay docked to a position. It is so annoying, it always pops to a spot that is inconvenient and am moving that around more than the component I'm trying to move. That may...

    Did a Command search on 'visible in view'. Love this search by the way. I tried Layer Visible in View, turned on all layers. No success. Tried 'Show Components in View'....Bingo. Winner. Thanks for the help!!

    3D Model not shown

    Morning, I'm in NX10 and opening a file that was done pre-NX (about 4 years old). The file opens into Drafting and when I switch over to the Modeling application the 3D model does not show. I've tried changing the reference sets to 'Entire Part' All layers have been turned onThis does show me...

    Count Parameter

    Thanks guys for the help and information. I appreciate it, I really do. I like the macro idea, but in this instance I don't think it will be something I would use since I am generating a BOM with the Bill of Material function, so it isn't like the quantities won't be there for the guys...

    Count Parameter

    Attached is of what I have so far. I want the quantity (highlighted) to linked to a parameter. I was thinking it could be an Integer parameter. But I don't know if there is a simple formula that counts the catparts. Can you put a "Next Loop" as a formula in a parameter? No idea why the...

    Count Parameter

    Hi, I'm trying to find a way to create a parameter that will count the number of like catparts within a catproduct. What I am trying to do is to create an "Attribute Link" within a text box that will display this number of each sub-detail within a weldment. I haven't had much luck in...

    It looks like it is, but is this tool a separate license? If so, is the name of it simply "Part Analysis"?

    CATVBA - Product Description Field

    Hi, I'm looking for some guidance in refining my vba. It works like it is expected, however, I want to change a couple of things and am unsure as to where to go. I want the stock size of the Desciption field to read like this: 2.5 x 3.0 x 10.0, instead of 2.50in x 3.00in x 10.00in. I've kind...

    Formula to show both inches and mm for a length

    Hi everyone I'm hoping you can help me out here. I've attach a picture that I hope helps to see what I am trying to do. My global units is set to inches, because I am primarily working to inches. However, I am using components that require a metric designation in their part number. What I am...
