Shortcuts

[zapataa]

Hello,

Somebody know if there is a shortcut to open a file & print, in NX7.5?

Thanks

That would take more than a simply 'shortcut'. What you need is some sort of program or journal to do that. Now once you have something like that, you could add this 'function' to a menu or toolbar and then you could create a keyboard 'shortcut' to launch it whenever you needed to.

Thanks for the tip, I have another issue, I used to work with windows XP, NX7.5 was working very good but IT formated my computer & install windows vista per company requirments, now NX7.5 is working very slow, most in the graphics. How may I improve the development of NX7.5 in my computer?

Chances are that your computer is up for retirement, Vista ( which is retired by Microsoft) is a known performance killer, both on cpu and graphics.
How old is it ?

My work station is 3 years old, could RAM memory improve the performance?

Depending on how much you have and if you run 32 bit or 64 bit Vista.
In case you run a 32 bit OS you can at the max utilize 3 GB, after setting a switch in Windows.
Without this switch you are limited to 2Gb. ( No matter of how much your computer has installed.)
In case you run 64bit version of Vista and has the 64 bit version of NX installed, you should have no less than 8 Gb, and yes then you should see performance increase. What happens is that when windows is closing in on the memory limit for the RAM, it starts to swap out from RAM to HDD, then the performance drops radically. If you have "lots of RAM" ( I have 16 GB in my laptop) this swapping will "never" happen.

Also the graphics adapter is , if "the engine is too small" reduce speed radically,
it's like in a car, if your engine outputs 15 Hp, it will be very-very slow but one will not see any radical difference between 400 and 500 Hp.
