Save Ribbon bar layouts If you add icons to Border bars or customize the NX interface, you can save these changes as a Role. This example shows how to save your current interface as a new Role called Analysis. 1. On the Resource bar, click the Roles tab. 2. In the Role palette, expand the User group. 3. Right-click in the background of the Roles palette and choose New User Role. 4. In the Role Properties dialog box, in the Name box, type Analysis and click OK. The new Role saves the changes you made to the Ribbon bar interface. Command Finder Use Command Finder to find and activate a specific NX command that is associated with one or more words or phrases. This includes commands that may not be active in the current application or task environment. Note Results are limited to commands available in the ribbon groups, in the Menus, or on toolbars. Commands contained only on background shortcut menus or in navigators are not included in the search. From the list of commands you can: Display the command location, when it is available in the current environment. Launch the command, if it is available. Turn on a toggle command, when it is available in the current environment. Add the command to a Border Bar. Access the Help information for the command. When a command is not available, Command Finder either states that the command is unavailable or identifies the application in which the command is available. Options for Command Finder are located on the Gateway→User Interface→Command Finder tab in the File tab→Utilities→Customer Defaults dialog box. These options allow you to: Save a cached file of all menu and toolbar commands. Identify a location for a custom list of words and phrases associated with specific commands. Search for a command using a secondary language. Where do I find it? System Bar Command Finder Menu Help→Command Finder Shortcut toolbar A shortcut toolbar is a toolbar that contains the commands that you are most likely to use for the selected objects. If you select one or more objects of the same type, the shortcut toolbar displays the commands that are specific to the selected object type. If you select multiple objects of different types, the shortcut toolbar displays commands that you can use on all the selected object types. When no dialog box is open and you select one or more objects in the graphics window, NX displays only the shortcut toolbar. When no dialog box is open and you right-click one or more selected objects in the graphics window, the Part Navigator, or the Assembly Navigator, NX displays the shortcut toolbar and the shortcut menu. View shortcut toolbar The View shortcut toolbar is displayed when you: Click in the background of the graphics window. Hold Ctrl and click an object. Radial toolbars and radial shortcuts Radial toolbars Radial toolbars are available when you hold Shift+Ctrl and click a mouse button. The radial toolbar you see depends on the mouse button you click. Radial shortcuts Radial shortcuts are available when you click and hold the right mouse button. A radial shortcut with view commands appears when you click and hold the right mouse button in the background of the graphics window. A radial shortcut with object-specific commands appears when you click and hold the right mouse button on a selected object. Keyboard accelerators A keyboard accelerator is also known as a keyboard shortcut, a shortcut key, or a hot key. You can add a new keyboard accelerator or modify an existing one. The following table lists a small number of keyboard accelerators in NX. To do this task Perform this action Orient geometry in a trimetric view Press Home Orient geometry in an isometric view Press End Fit geometry to the graphics window Press Ctrl+F Switch between standard and full screen display Press Alt+Enter View Help on context Press F1 View the Information window Press Ctrl+Shift+S Note When a text box is active, single letter accelerators do not work. The letter is entered in the text box instead. Where do I find it? Menu Mouse buttons and mouse key combinations You can do many tasks in NX using the mouse or using a combination of a mouse button and a keyboard key.

Resource Bar The Resource bar contains tabs for navigators, a browser, and palettes. Each tab displays a page of information. The location of the Resource bar, as well as the tabs displayed on the bar, depends on your specific configuration. You can also display the Resource bar as a Ribbon bar tab. # Component Description Display information such as the features in a part and the components in an assembly. Navigators HD3D Tools Integrated Web browser You can use navigators to manage and edit data, view and change creation order, and select objects such as features, tools, or operations. Provides access to HD3D tools that let you display and interact with information directly on the 3D model. Provides access to the Internet from within the software. Provide access to standard and frequently used model data. Palettes You can use palettes to access user-defined templates, roles, system visualization scenes, and system materials. Palettes Palettes provide access to libraries of information and templates that enable you to drop objects, data and parts into an NX session. You can access palettes from tabs on the Resource bar and from buttons on the Resource Bar tab. Palettes in the Resource bar You can: Change, modify, or create new roles using the Roles palette. Open or reload recently opened parts from the History palette. Add material characteristics to objects in your part using the System Materials palette. Change the background of your part using the System Scenes palette. Create a custom palette to organize and reuse your own set of palette entries. Other application-specific palettes, such as Manufacturing Wizards and Process Studio, are also available. To add a palette entry to your NX session simply click the entry, right-click the entry and select Open, or drag and drop the entry onto your graphics window. Where do I find it? Palettes Command Finder Tip Right-click in the palette background or a palette entry to access all palette commands. HD3D tools HD3D is a technology that lets you quickly find and interpret information about your product or design. HD3D turns data which can be hidden or hard to find, into knowledge that you can immediately access and act upon, thereby expediting the design process. This is achieved by overlaying the information onto the 3D design using tags and view styles. In addition, visually-engaging user interface displays are also provided to help navigate the information that is presented in the graphics window. Different HD3D tools are provided to let you display and interact with information directly on the 3D model. You can: Access the HD3D tools from the HD3D Tool Manager on the Resource bar. 1. Visual Reporting tool 2. Check-Mate tool 3. Product Template Studio tool 4. Requirements Validation tool 5. Issue Management tool Activate more than one HD3D tool at a time. View and interact with tags in the graphics window. Tags identify objects for which an HD3D tool has information. Check-Mate tags identify areas with problems or check result information. Visual Reporting tags appear as color wheels. Control how you view tags and other information inside the 3D model using the See-Thru display styles. Use visual reporting to get a visual report of information on the model. For example, you can color code components to display their load state. In the following graphic, components are partially loaded and components are fully loaded. Display information in different styles in the HD3D dialog box. For example, to scroll through thumbnails to find the items you want, use the Flow List+Tree view style in the Check-Mate tool. When you first activate an HD3D tool, the view styles are shown in the tool's dialog box. You can also display the tool's results in its own separate window. Set preferences for the HD3D tools using the HD3D Tools dialog box. You can use the HD3D tools to interact visually with information presented in the graphics window that may previously have been presented in dialog box lists and information reports. Where do I find it? HD3D Tool Manager Resource bar HD3D Tools tab Applications, task environments, and the 'No Part' state NX is an integrated suite of CAD/CAM/CAE applications developed to support a variety of major workflows. You can design products, build assemblies, produce drawings, develop tool paths, as well as perform analysis and simulation studies. NX uses three work area concepts called the No Part state, Applications, and Task environments. No Part state When no file is open, the software is in the No Part state. You cannot choose an application until you either create or open a file. Applications An application in NX is designed to provide process-specific functionality. For example, you can design products in the Modeling application, create a drawing in the Drafting application, create a tool path in the Manufacturing application and so on. You enter an application when you create a new file from an application specific template. For example, if you select a Model template, the file opens in the Modeling application. You can always change the application you want to work in. When you open a saved file, it opens in the application in which the file was last saved. Your access to the NX applications depends on the licenses you buy. NX applications can be licensed either individually or in bundles. Task environments Some applications provide access to sub-applications called task environments. For example, from the Modeling application you can enter the Sketcher task environment. This task environment is specific to creating constraint-based 2D curves. When you exit the Sketcher task environment, the software automatically returns to the Modeling application. Where do I find it? Menu File tab→Applications group→All Applications NX Viewer NX Viewer enables you to open and examine part files and assemblies. You can: Rotate, zoom, and pan parts. Change the display between shaded and wireframe modes. Shaded with Edges Wireframe with Hidden Edges View data (including drawings) using Layer Settings. View features in the Part Navigator. Show and hide components in the Assembly Navigator. Measure distance and angle using the Measure Distance and Measure Angle commands on the Analysis menu. Measure Distance Measure Angle Print the screen. Export Parasolids. Note You cannot save or copy parts. Where do I find it? Windows Start→All Programs→NX x.x.x →NX x.x.x Viewer Non-Windows UGMENU On-screen input boxes On-screen input boxes are available on a feature, when you need to enter a value for that feature in the command dialog box. When you change the value for an option in the on-screen input box, the value for that option is updated in the command dialog box. Grips Grips are available for dragging on-screen input boxes. Selection options Selection options that are common to many dialog boxes are available from onscreen input boxes. Limits Location along an arc Chamfer types Display of object selection Dialog boxes Most command dialog boxes in NX focus on the task and present options in a top down workflow. Options are presented in groups. For consistency, dialog boxes for different commands present the same groups of options for often repeated actions such as selecting chains of curves, specifying points, or specifying vectors. You can expand or collapse groups. # Component Title bar Groups Collapsed groups Less/More button OK, Apply, Cancel confirmation buttons The OK and Apply confirmation buttons are available only when all the required actions for the command are complete. Note When you resize a dialog box, the custom size is not retained after you close the dialog box. Visual cues in dialog boxes Dialog boxes use visual cues to help guide you through the selection process. Cue Description This color indicates the current selection option. The objects you select in the graphics window for the current selection option are displayed in the selection color. This icon indicates a required selection. This icon indicates a required selection that has been made by you or inferred by the software. This color indicates the next default action. Tip Click the middle mouse button or press Enter to accept the default action and advance to the next step. The OK button is the default action after all required selections and entries are made. The brackets indicate auto complete. The OK button displays brackets when auto complete is available. Command dialog boxes that have a preview have the auto complete capability. This capability is activated after you make the minimum required input for a command to display a preview. You can then start another command without clicking OK or Apply in the current command's dialog box. The software completes the current command and opens the dialog box for the next command. This indicates the Less or More layout of the dialog box . / Click to see all the dialog options. Click to see fewer dialog box options. The highlighted arrow indicates that the group contains an active select option. The highlighted arrow appears when you enable the Keep Group Closed if Selection Block in Group gets Focus option in the Customer Defaults dialog box. Tip To find a customer default, choose File tab→Utilities→Customer Defaults, and click Find Default . Reset a dialog box If you expand or collapse groups of options in a dialog box or change values, you can restore the original display and the default values. To reset a dialog box: On the title bar of the dialog box, click Reset . Show or hide groups in a dialog box You can expand the groups you want in a dialog box and hide the collapsed groups to simplify the display. To hide the collapsed groups: On the title bar of the dialog box, click Dialog Options and select Hide Collapsed Groups. To show the hidden groups: On the title bar of the dialog box, click Dialog Options and select Show Collapsed Groups. Hide a dialog box To hide a dialog box, do one of the following: On the dialog box title bar, click Dialog Options box. and select Collapse Dialog to hide the dialog On the dialog box title bar, click Dialog Options and select Expand Dialog to show it again.

Press F3 to cycle between hiding on-screen input boxes in the graphics window, hiding both the dialog box and the on-screen input boxes, and displaying them both again. Title bar options in dialog boxes The following table lists the options that appear in the title bar of dialog boxes when they are clipped and unclipped. Option Dialog Options Description Lets you: Choose the Less or More layout of the dialog box. Hide all dialog box groups that are currently collapsed. This simplifies the display of the dialog box. Show all dialog box groups that are currently collapsed. Note In the More version of a dialog box, Show Collapsed Groups is displayed only after Hide Collapsed Groups has been selected. Save a dialog box layout as a favorite. Open a favorite dialog box layout. Collapse and expand the dialog box. Reset Resets dialog box input values to the default values. When editing a feature, the default values are the values used when the feature was created. Note To reset to the default values, you need to be in the More or Less version of the dialog box. When you are in a favorite version of the command dialog box, Reset would reset the favorite version of your dialog box, but not reset to the default values. Close Closes the dialog box. Less and More dialog box layouts NX displays Less and More layouts of command dialog boxes. The layout that you see depends on your role. You can control whether NX displays the Less or More layout by default, using the Default Dialog Layout User Interface preference. Tip To find the User Interface preference, choose File tab→Preferences→All Preferences→User Interface and click the General tab. You can create your own favorite layouts and access the layout you want from the Dialog Options menu when you right-click the dialog box title bar. Click Dialog Options the Favorites options. on the dialog box title bar to see all NX does not display the Less or More button on the dialog box if: You are in a favorite layout of the dialog box. Click Dialog Options go to the Less or More layout. on the dialog box title bar to The Default Dialog Layout User Interface preference is set to More. NX needs to display a dialog box only in the More layout. You can have easy access to simplified or full layouts of command dialog boxes. NX matches the simplicity or complexity of the command dialog box to your NX role. Saving favorite versions of dialog boxes Use the Save Favorite and Save Favorite As commands to save a single or multiple versions of a command dialog box. If there are specific values and layouts of a dialog that you use frequently, for instance if you consistently expand or collapse certain groups, then you can set up the dialog box as you frequently use it, and save it as a favorite. This saves you from re-entering values for often-used cases. You can: Save multiple versions of the same command. Use the saved favorite in current and future NX sessions. Access the saved favorite from the role that you created it in. The saved favorite is added to the role that you save it in. Open the saved favorite in existing commands. For example, you can customize the Extrude command to create a new layout by displaying only the Section and Direction groups and hiding all the other groups in the Extrude dialog box. Add the saved favorite to the Ribbon bar for easy and direct access. For example, you can load the customized version of the Extrude command to the Home tab. You can also click Dialog Options on the dialog box title bar to see all the Favorites options, or rightclick the dialog box title bar to access the shortcut menu. Note You cannot save on-screen selections that you make in NX as favorites. You cannot save dialog favorites in Teamcenter. Where do I find it?
