    Basic Curves Dialog Bar

    Tim, Thanks for the reiteration - didn't read your first posting closely enough. Hard to believe my whole team overlooked the obvious. -Rod

    Basic Curves Dialog Bar

    Thanks for the feedback. This was a co-worker's dilemma, and he had already attempted what you suggested. Turns out GTAC had him reset his registry file. Works fine now.

    Basic Curves Dialog Bar

    This has got to be an obvious one, but how do you retrieve the dialog bar (for basic curves) after it has disappeared? It's not hidden, so far as we can tell, and is not available on the toolbar customize menu.

    part not a valid version

    Can't explain why, but we experience this as well. It usually suffices to remove the component from the assembly and then add it back in. It should show up under latest revision.

    Problem creating a rectangular array

    Tim, Tried the Patch & Trim Body arrays (just to make sure it wasn't too good to be true) - both worked as you said. Once again, your insight and this forum have been very useful. Thanks! -Rod

    Problem creating a rectangular array

    Thanks ewh & Shadowspawn - that tip will come in handy!

    Problem creating a rectangular array

    Roy, Kukelyk has you going in the right direction with Edit>Transform>Rectangular Array, providing the blocks don't require associativity.

    Internal error

    Are you running through a manager such as IMAN or Teamcenter, or are you in a native environment?

    Problems with Swept with Orientation Face Normals

    Seb, Not enough info provided to be sure of what you're trying to do, but look at the 'Extension' command under free form feature palette. Sounds like this may help you achieve desired results rather than swept command. -Rod

    Problem creating a rectangular array

    Instance array creates instances of a feature on a solid body. It sounds like you're trying to create an array of solid bodies in space, which you cannot do with this command. It needs to be a boss, hole, boolean, etc.

    Best Comunication between UG and Pro-Engineer

    Considering all of Ben's valuable contributions to this forum, I think we can overlook a couple of misspellings. [medal] Incidentally, Peter, only one 'l' in remodeled...

    sheet to solid

    There's also the 'Sheets to Solid' assistant, which works well if you need to thicken the solid - worth a try if you're still having trouble.

    Revision Letters vs. Numbers

    My company is adopting the X1,X2, etc. revisions for R&D, and the alpha series for post-release as well. We have selected our next project to use as a pilot, and my question goes out to those already using this system: Whether you use the '-' or 'A' to signify project release, how do you convert...

    Importing a Neutral file

    If you're trying to import a STEP assembly into UG through a file manager (i.e. IMAN / Teamcenter), you'll probably have trouble. I either import the files indivually, or else import the assembly into Native UG, which is not good if things need to remain parameterized. I'd like to hear from...

    316 ss for use in high pressure saltwater experiment

    Rule of thumb for stainless of all grades - the more polished the surface, the more resistant to corrosion. As the material is polished, the chromium creates a very hard 'shell' at the surface. Obviously, this won't apply to the inner walls of tubing, but a consideration nonetheless for future...

    extract curve shadow outline

    Vince, Basically just creates extracted perimeter curves of a view (invisible hidden edge). Don't wait for a selection prompt, just click the command and it's done. Check out the Help feature for more info.

    labels in ug nx2

    Do you mean that you've created a label in Drafting and when you go back to Modeling you don't see it? If this is the case, go into View Dependant Edit and toggle on 'View to Model' under the 'Convert Dependency' dialog.

    angled arc

    CFDruss, In addition to Cowski & Tim's valuable input, if your circles are coaxial, you can simply create a cone (Form Feature->Cone->Two Coaxial Arcs.) This saves a couple steps if you have a straight guide path and won't need to modify tapers later.

    Object count in Layers

    Did you try a Part Cleanup? (File>Utilities>Part Cleanup) Sometimes deleted features / entities are retained on layers in object count. If the other suggestions did not fix the problem, this usually will. SAVE THE PART FIRST.
