    Reuse part with excel part library question

    In the Progressive Die Wizard module you get a bunch of tabs added to the reuse library. One is PDW false bodies, which allow you to place the false body of a cap screw, select its size and length, then you can use it for subtracting your counter bored hole and link it into the part you are...

I changed that to allow me...

    Hole table question

    When I put a hole table in my drawing it recognizes the holes and puts a diameter and a cb and a depth. Is there a way to recognize as a screw hole or a dowel hole and put in the appropriate fallout notes to go with it? Brian Marchand-owner BRM Design NX 11.0 16G Ram - Nvidia Quadro K4000 Win 7...

    For Cowski regarding an old post

    thread561-389626 Hi Just looking at the way you mentioned getting a number out of the partname in the post above, which is closed now.

    wave links not updating

    No arrangements in this one Michael, gunman hit it, I just tried with fully loaded and worked no problem, I must have only had it partially loaded. It is a new install of NX10 so I wasn't sure---Thanks Brian Marchand-owner BRM Design NX 10.0.3.5 / MP6 16G Ram - Nvidia Quadro K4000 Win 7 Pro x64
