    How to delete expressions in NX11

    Yup, I see that now. Don't know how I could miss that but thanks for the help.

    How to delete expressions in NX11

    I right clicked my heart out before posting the question in the first place. I've attached a simple file created long ago with expressions that were declared but not applied. Right clicking on the expression in the expression editor or the part navigator does not offer the option to delete it. I...

    How to delete expressions in NX11

    The new expression editor is a nice touch, but I can't see a way of deleting an unused expression. What am I missing?

    Extruding over features to eliminate

    Users of feature- and history-based CAD systems don't always realize that what we see on the screen doen't necessarily reflect what is in the database. We don't "eliminate" a feature by extruding over it or uniting it with something else. It's still there in the database, where it can possibly...

    Reading spline points from a file

    pilina, you said you "use the old one through the Command finder." What are you entering in the Command Finder?

    Reading spline points from a file

    Selecting the group does work far better, except that the spline crosses back and forth at the trailing edge of the airfoil shape, possible due to the proximity/density of the points there. I'll play some more and see what happens.

    Reading spline points from a file

    Thanks, John. Haven't seen you since I retired and left CAUG. I tried the import and fit method, but hadn't found a way to automate point selection the way the old method did. I'm hoping I missed something, but if not oh well. I do understand that you folks make such decisions on very solid...

    Reading spline points from a file

    Thank you for the responses, gentlemen. In my entry level course I am purposely using only off the shelf commands and practices, so writing a program to do what used to be a simple task in earlier releases seems inappropriate. I'll adjust my content and move along. There is so much other...

    Reading spline points from a file

    thread561-344906 I understand, sort of, John Baker's reasoning for removing the old method of inserting a spline by reading a set of points from a file, but my entry level CAD students still need to do it. We had been creating airfoil profiles from ascii *.dat files with the old method. It was...

    Activation error

    When attempting to start DraftSight, I get an error saying that "The activation server is not available. Please check your internet connection." I can only click "Activate later," which terminates the program. I have tried to email Dassault, but got no response. My connection is fine...
