    sketching in a draw view

    Is there any way of putting the sketch functionality back on the Home Tab so I don't have to switch back and forth between the home and sketch tabs? I was able to get the open and finish buttons on there, but not all the line/curve buttons.

    sketching in a draw view

    Hi all, can someone tell me what happened to the familiar sketch tools on the Drawing Home ribbon? I'm using version 1973 Here you can see it in versions 9 and 11,

    NX drawing, part is ref only

    I was able to attach the 3d in the way you described. I will continue to investigate my bigger issues. Thank you cowski!

    NX drawing, part is ref only

    I see! So then is this the correct symbol for the 3D? I just need to be sure because I'm try to analyze a bigger issue. I can't get my drawings into our PDM using 1899 and I thought it was because the 3d was being attached differently. I'm used to seeing the single or triple square symbol...

    NX drawing, part is ref only

    this issue occurs for me in versions 1899 and also in version 1969. I always use master model concept. Hello, Can someone tell why the 3D part keeps loading as "ref only" when I create a view? This doesn't happen for me when I use NX version 11: Thank you

    proper datum callout

    I suppose that's one way to do it. I was hoping there was a way similar to how you would do a slot. Where you would dimension the width of the slot, then put the datum callout off of the dimension line. Only with a slot it's more obvious which direction you're appling the datum to.

    proper datum callout

    How do I place the Datum symbols to achieve what's on the attached picture. Notice the diamond pins in all three holes. I understand Datum B may need to have targets B1 and B2. But I still need to know how best to place the Datum symbols on the dimensions to communicate this type of...

    proper datum callout

    Well that didn't help much! I have read up, but there's no example showing what I'm trying to do. I'm using the Y14.5 2009 standard. I have a long plastic part with three holes; One at each end and one hole in the middle. The two end holes, Datum B, will control 'Y' and the middle hole, Datum C...

    proper datum callout

    I have a hole that I want to use as Datum B, but I only want the datum to control one direction, not both. I'll have a diamond pin for this hole. Actually there will be two of these holes, one at each end of a long part.

    Given Matrix not from required part error during replace component

    This probably doesn't answer your question but, since I've being using 8.5(last 30 days), I'm getting the same error "Given matrix is not from the required part" while trying to create lines and circles in sketch mode.

    Wave links to retain name of parent element

    Sorry, I'm using version 8.5

    Wave links to retain name of parent element

    I want my wave links to have the same name as the items in the parent part. Some of my links retain the name but others don't. For example the parent element is Extrude (12) "Split Plane/Face". The link in my child component is "Linked Face (51)" I would like it to at least keep my assigned...

    Retaining NX preferences and settings

    Okay I was just informed we don't run native NX. It is in fact an ECTR installation which overwrites the user setting; apparently ECTR forces its configuration over to the client. So then is there any work-around that I can perform on my end. Maybe replace the file it sends me with a saved...

    Retaining NX preferences and settings

    Sorry I should have mentioned we don't use TCE for our PDM. We use SAP

    Retaining NX preferences and settings

    Looslib, how do I "RUN" the userdefaults.dpv file? I was able to save off a userdefaults.dpv to my desktop. Then I tried using it to replace the one that the system gives me; thinking I'll let it give me what it wants then I'll just replace it with my personal copy. That worked with little success.

    Retaining NX preferences and settings

    Okay, it sounds like there are work arounds for this. I'll speak with my IT dept. and see if there's a batch file they can create for us. Thank You

    Retaining NX preferences and settings

    NX 7.5 does not retain the user settings and preferences. Every morning I must re-establish these settings. I noticed the file that stores the settings (userdefaults.dpv) on my local gets over-written when starting our integration software. My custom file gets replaced with whatever is loading...

    Drawing View line types

    Hello, Does NX 7.5 have the ability to create or modify a line type to be broken or zig-zag? I want to use it in a cut-away or partial view to show the portion of the view has been removed and is not displayed.

    NX Difference between assembly and model start templates?

    Im using NX 8.0 and I don't see any real difference between an assembly and model start template. A model will allow me to enter the assembly mode and have access to assembly commands. I can even attach models under a model; which at that point looks no different than an assembly? So why would I...
