Unigraphics NX4 balloon’s Disappearing

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

We have recently had an issue with one of our UG NX4 CAD Workstations.

We have completed an assembly drawing with views and associated balloons, but when we have inserted a new clean drawing sheet all the balloons on all sheets lose the text within them.

We believe this is because when inserting a new drawing sheet, the default is to insert an associated BOM, which then removes the numbers that have been edited into the balloon.

Has anyone experienced a similar issue, or does anyone know where the default setting to not insert a BOM is located ?

Inventor to DWG Colour Issue

Monday, March 16th, 2009

We have an issue with converting Inventor R2009  *.idw files and saving them into Autocad.dwg.  When doing a print preview in autocad, using monochrome pen settings, some lines and text are not black, but retain the colours used in the *.idw file. This seems particularly evident on text and sketched lines from Inventor.

Has any body has similar experience or knows an answer ?
