imagine peeling the label off a tin can and then laying it flat on a table so you could see the whole label in one view. That's what I want to do with the outside surface of this cylindrical/conical part. In reading across the forum I found Wrap/Unwrap curve. This seems like it should work...
I would like to map different thicknesses on the "skin" of a solid cylindrical part. The thought is to just lay the part out so all of the surface is visible in one view. In other words, an "un-rolled" view. Is this possible in NX 7.5?
1. The "Cross" symbol shape. How do I change the drafting standard.
2. The copied target is in the same view but when I try to "attach" it to the specific datum point it jumps over as if on a grid. Even when I ctrl+select and try to move it it still does not want to attach. The native datum...
I am having trouble changing the symbol shape on the end of a datum target leader. For some reason the option that I want is grayed out. I am able to copy paste a datum target symbol from the 3D view but it cannot be used to precisely point to the thing I want. Any thoughts?
I actually was able to generate the points but not as individual points. They seem to be part of a set. (I used projection tool, and so now they are called "project.x") How do I extract the points to some sort of text...

I am trying to get a bunch of points created on surfaces. I was able to use planes to intersect surfaces to create curves but what I need is the intersection points of those lines laying on each surface of the part. How do I do that. I am new to Catia and need the points to...
Is there a way to create a point grid/cloud from a solid model that could then be exported to other CAD software? Maybe something that would auto generate points for all of the surfaces?
In NX5, I have always been able to select using the multi-select rectangle. Just recently I noticed that its not working, when I drag a window around some solids to select them, it should select everything that is included in the window. For some reason it doesn't select anything, though when I...
What is the correct process for updating the referenced model in a drawing? I am under the understanding that there is some way of doing that in Catia, just not sure where and how. I have been using a model to create a 2d annotated drawing but the customer has given us a new model of the same...
Can someone lead me through step by step on how to create a User Defined Symbol similar to the "Triangle with point Up" that is in Insert>Symbol>ID symbols, so that I could then use that in annotation text as a flag symbol with a number inside?
I am using NX 5/6. The documentation is kind of...
