Hi, From a previous thread (http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=126150#), we understand that classes of Unified Inch Screw Threads can be interchanged; however, does anyone know if metric threads can also be interchanged? If so, how? I know that Metric Screw Threads are not as straight...

Thank you drawoh, your advice is well taken into consideration. However, we would still like to know, as originally asked, if all's acceptable structurally, how would one dimension the part? Profile and perpendicular for one side and what about the other faces? Parallel or profile to first...

The base will be bolted down as well (bolts and details are not shown in the diagram). So, somewhat might have an impact on the above mating surfaces. Also, the face need to be in contact for vibration (i.e., structural) reasons. If they are in contact, the parts would be more stable as they'd...

Hello! I have 3 identical parts (see attached image), which need to be intimately mated using a clamp. ALL mating round surfaces must be in contact WITHOUT any gaps once the 3 parts are clamped. Before clamping, a very small gap can be tolerated (0.002") and thanks to clamping forces we expect...

Thanks Kenat, I'll take another look into these sections specifically. Regards,

Hello, I recall back in the days when a drawing checker had told me that on a multi-sheet drawing, detailing different parts, the same note numbers cannot be reused. I mean, if the sheet 1 contains notes # 1 thru 10, the second sheet cannot have the same note numbers...they should have different...

Hi ! (1) Is there a way in NX (7.5) to have drawing views exported in MS Office (Word) document with associativity? If so, how? I.E., example: if a view is changed in NX, the same view in Word document also changes (automatically). (2) Similarly, any tables generated within NX drawing, could...

Oh, one more thing: Information > Object is not working for me as suggested by other posts since there are many holes with different diameters in the cylinder, NX is not showing all of the diameters.

Hi ! Using NX 7.5, is there a way to measure diameter from a model? Presently, I'd use ANALYSIS > MEASURE DISTANCE > RADIUS then taking this value and multiplying by 2. If not, can someone please give a tip/trick to automate this by eliminating all of the above steps? Macro ? How? It would...

Is there a way in NX 7.5 Drafting to have a note that is associated with a dimension or parameter of a 3D geometry? Example: We have a huge plate with many square pockets. The floor thickness of each pocket varies; instead of making many cross sections in the Drafting module to show the floor...

Thanks John, sounds like a good idea. Can this be done in NX 7.5? Also, is there an example that I could find online to give it a try ? Especially, the Boolean portion of the attributes. Thanks,

Hi, is there a way to create a check box in NX Drafting as opposed to drawing two lines "X" to check a box ... or adding a note "X" inside the box? The idea here is for the users to check one or more boxes from a list of notes, which are applicable by just clicking inside the box and having NX...

Thanks Guys for your quick and detailed responses. I will give it a try and let you know of the outcome. Much appreciated!

Hi, Is there a way to partially shaded an assembly view in NX drafting? I'd like to put an emphasis on certain parts of an assembly view by shading them, while the rest of the assembly parts would be hidden-line removed (or in wireframe) format -- all this in the same view. Thanks in advance!
