Jan 18, 2006 · In the interest of confidentiality we show as little information as possible on our drawings; especially drawings that customers will see. I don't see that changing, although I think we may have to tweak the way we do things once everyone here starts using NX. I'm told there are some things that Ideas will do that NX won't, particularly in ...

Mar 6, 2014 · I agree that perhaps the most compelling use of layers in NX today would be to control the display of secondary geometric objects on a per view basis when making a Drawing, as described by SvenBom.

Feb 17, 2010 · I want to draw a line with an arrow on the end of it in the drafting application. What's the simplest way of doing it? I've messed around with text-free leaders and that sort of works, but it's not very elegant.

Jan 27, 2006 · In terms of the program and the flexibility that NOT having distinct model versus drafting type files allows you to do a quite a few things in NX that other software won't. Users coming from other systems may complain initially, but then being able to think outside of narrower constraints has its benefits for more experienced users that we ...

Jul 22, 2007 · I have modelled this in NX using two extrudes, and thought that if I created a drawing I could just show a detail of the end cap, somehow, by just hiding the piece of angle.
