    Break a line on a drawing

    I have a very busy drawing, and some of my text notes cross lines on the drawing. to make the text easier to read I want to break the line that crosses the text. Does anyone know if there is a function in drafting that will let you tidy a drawing ? Thanks Tim

    select faces on a solid by tangent chaining

    The problem is,I dont know how to select 1000 tanget faces with one dig, and change the colour of the selection. The tangent modifier/selection only appears when in a function.

    select work plane objects only

    the sketch tool ---'select work plane objects only' does not seem to work on my recently installed 8.5 version of NX. Is there a switch to turn it back on or is it a bug in 8.5 ?
