    NX6 Move Object & Transform

    I have installed NX6 next to NX5 and for me it's so important to have the possibility to make multiple move's or copy's just by simple mouse clicks that i am not going to work with NX6 until Siemens fixes this issue. For conceptual modeling it's one of the best tools NX5 (and earlier) has on...

    NX6 Move Object & Transform

    I totaly agree with Phayden, NX6 has no longer the possibility on board to make multiple move's or copy's just by simple mouse clicks. This makes transform in NX6 less intuitive and it's a big step backwards in my opinion. Restyling the transform-menu was definitely necessary and now it's...

    Are Part-revisions possible using native NX5 ?

    Just as in Teamcenter, I would like to make part revisions by making a "save as" and rename the part. Of course with the intention if the part is used in an assemblie it automatically updates with the "new revision name". I'am not sure if it's possible at all ? I've read the threads about file...

    Shaded edge color does'nt retain its settings !

    nkwheelguy, It's correct that edges always highlight no matter if your in "shaded with edges" or just "shaded mode" (without edges). It's just that before you a specific edge pick in "shaded" mode you have to guess where that edge is. If your modeling, let's say the regualar constructional...

    Shaded edge color does'nt retain its settings !

    Hi NXPERSON, I'am aware of the fact that the visual-settings are renderingsmode specific. I also would like to mention that my earlier discribed change in edge display, happens during the normal modeling activities, so without closing the part or something. Furthermore I prefer the "shaded...

    Shaded edge color does'nt retain its settings !

    I'am facing the following problem: If I start modeling a body or import a body in "shaded view mode" this specific body looks fine to me. The body is fully shaded with all its edges shaded in the same body color (see image A). This is because i've set this in the preferences and my customer...

    " Help on context " displayed in Resourse Bar ?

    Oke in this case, when it's just impossible considering my current system & hardware specifications I think MCGNX's thread is quite a nice alternative. So, John thanks for your clear explanation, it saves me a lot of examining effort. MCGNX Thanks for your usefull tip, it's a nice alternative.

    " Help on context " displayed in Resourse Bar ?

    If I push the "help on context" button,the help-windows pops up as a seperate window somewhere on mij screen. Currently I'am working with NX5 and Windows Vista and I have seen other users working with NX3 that It was Indeed possible that the help on context-window was integrated in the...

    How to find the UGII_MOUSE_WHEEL environment variable ?

    From the Help menu - Basic Mouse Operations in NX5 is writen: Mouse Wheel Environment Variable To specify the mouse wheel's behavior in the graphics window, you can set the UGII_MOUSE_WHEEL environment variable. The system supports the mouse wheel on Windows only. Question : Where can I find...
