    export text splines from NX6 to NX4

    nkwheelguy, I exported everything with iges, should I find any stitch errors I'll export the solids again with step and merge the files. Thanks for the tip on CGM, I'll have to try it next time. I'm a new user, please be patient.

    export text splines from NX6 to NX4

    Hi, Trying to export a drill jig which has a text label on it. Working in NX6 and needs to be read by NX4. Have tried export parasolid->won't select splines Have tried converting splines to curves, exporting as step file with export curves option checked. What is the proper method to export...

    measure diameter?

    Hi, I work in NX6 inch files and often use the analysis-geometric properties to check rads along walls. When I do want to check hole or shaft diameters the analysis and measure distance list radial values only. I have been using measure distance in an ISO view to check these to date. Best way...

    NX6 extract face and sheet body transparent one direction

    Hi, I have situation where extracted faces and sheet bodies appear without solid color from view plane likely opposite the surface normal. Being new user with UG, is this a regular user setting or is there a setting I need to set. It only seems to affect features with a zero thickness. See...

    sketching 3D, new user

    As a comment after the fact, sketching must be done on a plane and basic curves are used for creating 3d lines. I'm a new user, please be patient.

    sketching 3D, new user

    I think I have attached the file properly. All the surfaces near the hole are tilted or curved. I've only been able to use vertical lines for plane set up so far. I've tried to create a slice half way down the hole, but with no luck. What I would like is to be able to insert a vector along the...

    sketching 3D, new user

    Ok then, I have an extruded hole, one face (end) of the hoel is convex and the other end is sliced at an angle. If I could inset a center line then I could create a plane at the end of the line right? Also, even sketching 2D can you specify a depth or distance from the plane? I'm a new user...

    sketching 3D, new user

    Hi, NX6 question. I want to sketch directly off existing geometry but everything I create is 2D only selected plane. Is there sketch 3D? I'm a new user, please be patient.

    New user set preference

    Morning, I need to set some user preferences relating to dimension color and precision. When I edit these styles I do not know which function will save setting as user default. What is the name and location of this function? Thanks, I'm a new user, please be patient.

    New user NX6-add parameters back to a solid body?

    Hello, New user here, NX6. I have a solid body with minimal feature history in the part navigator. It has a series of counterbored holes I'd like to be able to manipulate. There are no parameters for these holes. Is there a function re-populate the part navigator? or Can I copy the solid body...

    drafting dimension horizontal alignment?

    Hello everyone. I'm a new NX6 user. When I create an inferred dimension (vertical use) the dimension text is beside the arrow and also parallel to the arrow. I would like to know where to adjust the setting so that the dimension text is horizontal and also is positioned between the arrow heads...
