In the master model world...
Is there a way to tell where the view came from, model file or drawing file? User created an explosion in the drawing file, and added it to the drawing. Now it's not exploded. I can re-add the exploded view fine, so I'm wondering if they created a view from the model file, instead of the drawing file.
I've been looking at properties, and anything I can think of, but nothing has tipped me off yet.
Hello together.
I recently switched from NX 10 to NX 11 and i am designing panels to be laser cut. For now i would sketch the outline in a part file, add the part in the drafting module, the sketch would appear and I could export it to pdf.
Right now, none of the sketched lines are apprearing in the drafting mode only a black cross with a circle at the bottom left corner.,solid bodies are visible though. I have been already trying out all kind of ideas for 3 hours but couldnt find a solution.
Do you have any idea where that issue comes from and how to solve it?
Thanks a lot already!

NX 11.0.2.7 MP6
With an open assembly if I drag and drop a part from OS to NX GUI (native) , it pop ups 'Assembly Constraints' dialog. Can create constraints and the part gets added to the assembly as a component. Now if I again drag and drop another part in GUI and hit cancel on the assembly constraints dialog, it does not add part in the current assembly. As expected.
NX 12.0.0.27 MP3
Now in NX12, for drag and drop method if cancel action is performed on assembly constraints dialog, part gets added to the assembly as a component without constraints. 
I know there are enhancements to the add component dialog in NX12. As in both the versions, drag and drop method pop ups the assembly constraints dialog. So, irrespective of enhancements, the behavior should be the same in both versions.
Probably a bug?
After a couple years, I finally have the material and weight populating new drawing title blocks. My question now, what would be the best, aka user friendly, way to update existing models and drawings, when a user does a save as on apart?
Material is easy, it will be created when a material is assigned, but all the attributes that push the model attributes up to the drawing level, ie DB_DWG_TEMPLATE_ attributes? I do have them in the attribute template.
My guess is some sort of journal? ( I really need to learn how to do those) Or could you import them some how?
Hi,
how can I make a Step file from a convergend body?
It only saves the original components... 
kind regards,

I have a user, that is getting the following message, when he saves. I asked if he was importing anything, and they siad no, and said no importing at all in this NX session.
any thoughts?
I'm trying to project a quadrilateral shape onto a rail, as shown in the pictures below. However, the sides of the rails dont seem to get the projection onto them. I only get the 2 lines on the very top of my rail, as shown in pictures 2 and 3. Is it because the sides of the rail are too steep? Any help is appreciated.
Ciao to all,
I have a Clone Assembly whose files have a suffix '_X' , how can I remove these suffixes?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I was trying to extact the sheet name in which the notes resides.
Below Journal only extracting the Current sheet name. But my requirement is to extract all the sheet name in which note resides (Sh1,Sh2....).

Dim numLines As Integer = 0
For Each a_note As Note In nc
noteText = a_note.GetText()
numLines = noteText.Length
For i As Integer = 0 To numLines - 1
If noteText(i).Contains("510k") Then
lw.WriteLine("We found a 510 k")
lw.WriteLine(s.Parts.Work.DrawingSheets.CurrentDrawingSheet.Name)
End If

What to change in the code above to get all the sheet names in which notes resides?
Kindly do the needful.........
placing balloons in 2d, I noticed I only have the options to place the stub, left or right.
So my question is, how does on place it, below the balloon?
Hi,
is there a quick way create multiple expressions linked to spreadsheet cells? I am using the formula ug_cell_read, but with this I must link every single expression one by one.
Thank you
Hi there,
I'm having some troubles in PMI positioning, when i utilize PMI in an assembly, looks like the dimension get locked, and i can't organize as i want. As you can see in the video, all the PMI must be align, but, there are some restrictions and i can't move freely.
I have created a part with PMI dimensions, and I need to check whether every dimension, surface finish symbol and note is associated to its appropriate face.
The manufacturing team currently uses the wave PMI linker to check associativity of these dimensions, but most of the PMI dimensions cannot be linked or selected, particularly in section views. This happens to be the case even when associativity has been correctly given at the model level.
Is the Wave PMI linker a reliable way to check the associativity of a large number of PMI dimensions, or is another method more reliable? Please advise on the same.
Please guys, I have big problem to a color set up, although in basic set up is turned on a grey color (as defaut) still I have some orange color as you may see on picture bellow. How can I solve it? Just to notice you that isn't a default setting, I get it after I fixed something what I can't remember and even how I did it.
Dear Siemens PLM NX Customer,
We are pleased to inform you that NX 12.0.1 is now available on the Siemens PLM download server.
NX 12.0.1 is an accumulation of fixes and small enhancements built for installation on top of Windows 64-Bit and Linux 64-Bit images of NX 12.0.0. Please note that this Maintenance Release will only be shipped (on DVD) by request.
To find the release package(s) for your platform(s) click on the following link or enter the URL in your browser address window (Note: A valid WebKey account is required):
https://download.industrysoftware.automation.sieme
From the download page, enter “nx-12.0.1" (including the quotes) in the Search box to see a list of links to the release letter and available release packages.
Alternatively, the release packages can be found using the file navigator by selecting ‘NX’ from the products menu on the left and then navigating through the directory structure by selecting: Product updates -> Maintenance-release -> Nx12 -> [platform].
NX 12.0.1 also includes updates for the Release Notes, What’s New and NX Help documentation. This update is separate from the Maintenance Release package and can be downloaded from the same platform folders, or you can access the documentation from the Siemens PLM Doc Center website.
Please note that the download zip file has been split into 3 smaller files using WinZip, instead of one large file. Because of this change you will need WinZip, or 7-Zip, to extract the downloaded files. Please refer to the README file for more information and for Maintenance Release installation instructions.
Sincerely,
Ben Broad

Always thank you for your help.
I tried upgrading to NX 12.0.1.
But it will fail with the following error:
Error Message- - - - - - - - - - - - -
[Siemens NX 12.0.1]
Error 2229. Database:.
Could not load table 'Control' in SQL query:
SELECT 'Control', 'Type', 'X', 'Y', 'Width', 'Height', 'Attributes', 'Property', 'Text', 'Control_Next', 'Help' FROM 'Control' WHERE 'Dialog_'=?.

Do you know workarounds?
Additional notes
It is occurring on multiple PCs.
The NX installation .zip size has grown from 2.8 GB for NX 10 to 5.5 GB for NX 12. Why is it nearly twice the size? It's hard to believe that's all due to new features. Is there some other cause?
