NX7 improvements over NX5 1

[APG63]

We've just moved over to NX7 from using NX5. While synchronous modeling is great, I have to say we're not really fond of the changes to mating conditions (assembly constraints). Does anyone out here have anything they like in NX7 better than in NX5?

Full Round feature. Now in NX7.5 you have full round between two parallel faces..

The faces don't even have to be parallel...

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

As an former I-deas user all I can say is about time !!!!

But what happended to the modeling toggles toolbar ?

 

[JohnRBaker]

It's still there, just not turned on by default.

To enable the toolbar go to...

Tools -> Customize...

...and when the dialog comes up, select the 'Toolbars' tab and then select the last button on the right labeled 'Load'. Now navigate to the UGII\Menus folder and select the 'ug_modeling_toggles.tbr' file, hit OK, when the Customize dialog comes up, scroll to the bottom and toggle on the Modeling Toggles toolbar and you're good to go.

The full round feature sounds great! It's a shame we have to wait until we upgrade Teamcenter Express in December to be able to use it...
