    Drawing Check Process

    Hi all. I was recently promoted to design lead at a small-midsize company. Prior to my promotion there had been no direct management of this department. Engineering managers made some decisions when it was needed, but never developed any processes or standards for the design department. Now...

    Step file that retains assembly

    I use the external translator for maintaining assembly structure and multiple components. I use it very often and it always works. You may need to adjust the "Layers to Export" or check the types of geometry you want. EDIT: You only need to select the assembly(s) that you want translated...

    Custom drawing title blocks

    OK. I think I located file but it's actually ugii_env.dat, not ug_env.dat. That's why my search couldn't find it. Now that we've located that, it seems I have have two undesirable choices: (1) Place my pattern files in the UGII directory of every user, which will rob me of the ability to...

    Custom drawing title blocks

    Hi all. Thanks for a very helpful thread. I happen to be in the process of creating a palette containing all the drawing templates and tables my company will need. I'm trying to add the border, title block, and title block labels (ie. "unchangeable text") as a palette per Hudson's above...

    GM going up on NX4?

    Ref. thread561-142433. I attempted to bump this thread, but it is closed. A co-worker contacted one of his friends at GM and though the guy said he heard GM was going up on NX4 very soon, he couldn't give a date. Hearsay. Does anyone have any solid/semi-solid info on this? I'm in the...
