    NX 5 Multi-roll plotter (HP DesignJet 4520)

    I found out part of the problem, but not a solution. When I looked at the output directly I saw that it was going into HPGL mode BEFORE inserting my init file. As far as I know you can't choose input trays in HPGL so I added the appropriate code (shown below) to go back into PCL mode, change...

    NX 5 Multi-roll plotter (HP DesignJet 4520)

    I've got the plotter on our network and setup in the SDI Print Master using HPGL/2. I can plot files to it but now I'm trying to get the roll switching working. I found a post from 2008[1] but it's not obvious where those commands go. I only see the following under Advanced Options: Advanced...

    Tangent face mating

    Thanks! For some reason when I used 'Mate' the sphere shot through the plane even after I backed it off away from the plane but I tried using 'Tangent' instead and it worked fine. I don't know why it would matter but I actually have a cylinder with a spherical end but it seemed like it was...

    Tangent face mating

    I need to mate a sphere with a cone but I'm using NX2 and could not open the attached files. To simplify my assembly, assume that I need to mate a sphere (such as a ball bearing) with a countersunk hole where I should get a line of contact in the shape of a circle. I've tried mating, align...
