    Suppressed Components Not Loading for Drawing Views

    Ah, that makes sense! I don't know why I didn't think of that before. That seems to have worked. Thanks for the help!

    Suppressed Components Not Loading for Drawing Views

    Thanks for the response, John. I believe I get what you're saying, which is how to suppress and unsuppress components in my drawing file rather than the master model or subassembly. However, that's not quite what I'm having the issue with. I already have arrangements within the drawing file...

    Suppressed Components Not Loading for Drawing Views

    Hi all, I am running NX 7.5.5.4 on Windows 7 64-bit. I have a drawing of an assembly that contains several views with different arrangements. The drawing and views work perfectly when everything's open, but when I first open the drawing, any components that are suppressed in the current...

    Moment of inertia not matching calculations

    Ah, that seems to be what I was missing. Thanks for the help!

    Moment of inertia not matching calculations

    This may be more of a general mass properties question than an NX question, but NX is involved, so I'm posting it here. I'm using NX 7.5.5.4, and I'm having an issue where NX's calculation of the moments of inertia (MOI) of a body do not match general engineer formulae. Specifically, I'm talking...

    Promote Body in an Arrangement

    I'm having trouble getting a promote body feature to update in different arrangements. Right now, I have several components in an assembly with arrangements that position them in different ways. What I would like to be able to do is mirror these components to create a mirrored assembly within...

    Using Expressions/Constraints in Arrangements

    Sharing the constraints works well - I can have a base arrangement where the constraints are linked to my joint angle expressions. After setting the proper joint angle, I can just make a new arrangement, click "Edit in Arrangements" on my orient angle constraints, and set the values to...

    Using Expressions/Constraints in Arrangements

    Thanks for the reply, John. I guess I was looking for an arrangement-specific option for expressions, and that unfortunately doesn't exist. Following your solution, I found the "Arrangement Specific" option for the constraints, and I also found something called "Edit in Arrangements," which...

    Using Expressions/Constraints in Arrangements

    I have an assembly with several parts that are connected and oriented at specific angles. These angles can change, and we'd like to have an easy method of seeing what the assembly looks like in multiple configurations, so I am doing different arrangements. Currently, I have the parts...

    Selecting items without tangent curves

    Thanks, Toost. The right-click tip is also helpful, since it puts things directly next to where your mouse button already is. The "consistency" change was made so we all had the icons that our particular team uses, rather than the set of default icons. We've had a few chats with the guy who did...

    Selecting items without tangent curves

    Thanks, John. It wasn't on the selection bar, but knowing it was supposed to be helped. For some reason, whoever set up the toolbars removed it. When we upgraded to NX7, our admins decided to set up the toolbars for consistency, although I think it was mainly to frustrate us. So I just...

    Selecting items without tangent curves

    I have a part that has a series of lines in the same direction, but with different lengths. Is there a way to select just one individual line using the Measure tool (especially the measure tool in the equation editor)? For example, let's say I have what looks like a single line 10 inches long...
