    NX 7.5 Leader Re-Associating

    Thanks for the info. That worked perfectly. Any thoughts as to why some disassociate themselves like that, but others are just fine doing it the Edit way?

    NX 7.5 Leader Re-Associating

    I'm having an issue re-associating leaders on my drawing. After I update or change the part, leaders obviously become disassociated, turning red and dashed. However, when I Edit the leader, making sure Id 1 is selected in the list, I pick my new object to re-associate the leader, and it stays...

    Deleting PP Expressions

    Through some digging and random luck, discovered it was a Knowledge Fusion thing and was able to Remove All Rules and break the link between the expressions and the body.

    Deleting PP Expressions

    I have a part file that has a body I need to delete out of the file. However, I get an error message about being unable to delete due to PPMassProporties, etc. When I go to expression editor, the PP expressions are purple and not selected to remove. I've tried to remove feature parameters (they...

    NX5 Dart Operator

    I've been using the dart command in NX5 and I notice that it will only make a dart at 45 degrees in relation to the 2 faces selected. Is there a way to change this angle in the operator so the dart is 30 degrees in relation to one of the faces selected? The angle option in the dialog box is for...

    Linked Mirrored Body

    I am trying to have the mirror happen at the beginning so when someone else works on it that doesn't know the history will understand what's going on. That is why I'm not going to export the part and mirror it at the end.

    Linked Mirrored Body

    Ok, starting from scratch I go. I didn't think there was anything that would help, but I wanted to put it out there in case I was missing something. Thanks guys.

    Linked Mirrored Body

    I was handed a part file today that has been created as a linked mirrored body. Well, the file now needs to be split from the linked body, but would like to retain the parameters used in the linked body. It will still be a mirrored version of the linked body, but no link anymore. Is this...

    Selection Issue

    I am having an issue with selecting an edge when it is inside/behind another solid model. For example, if a screw is placed too far down into the mating part, I can't select the center of the bottom edge of the screw head in order to move it since it sits below the surface and in the mating...

    Edge Deselection in NX5

    That's what I kinda figured after the previous response. Makes sense and gives me something to tell my CAD mates when they ask why it's different. Thanks for the quick answers guys.

    Edge Deselection in NX5

    Correct, so there is no way to change it? Sometimes I don't want to pick all my edges one at a time.

    Edge Deselection in NX5

    I'm using Edit w/Rollback to edit my blends. The problem is that when I hold shift and deselect an edge from the blend operation, it deselects the entire blend. If I wait for QuickPick, it shows 2 options: All of intent, and Edge. Is there any way I can get them reversed so that the single edge...
