I heard Google is working on this thing where they plug in a probe in the back of your head and you learn everything in a few miuntes. Or maybe that was the "Matrix". j/k Seriously, it just takes time and experience. I've been doing UG / NX for 20 years and still learning new things about the...

Sorry about the confusion. It's when I move components within the assembly that the constraints no longer show up.

I'm using NX 7.5 and ever since deleting some assembly constraints in one model, now everytime I use them for positioning it shows up briefly and then disappears. No constraint list is created in the navigator. How do I turn this back on? Thanks, Steve

I'm currently working in NX3 and when switching between work part and displayed part my color selection preferences reset to default (white). Is there a way to change the selection color so it applies globally to all my windows?

tryitagain, I felt the same way when I started using NX8 after being in 5 for so long. It took some time getting used to the new icons and other functions, but now I like the improvements. Especially the sketcher. Never really used it much and now I'm a convert. I would say to give your self...

OK, thanks for the explanation.

OOOpss I mean lorenolepi...

lorenopi, Why does it matter so much what the model structure shows a sub-assy for clamp fasteners? Doesn't your drawing control the clamp hardware build up anyway? Your response to John seems rather rude BTW.

The only way I can think to do what you want is to export all the components together as a parasolid then import the whole "wad" back in and use that "group" to create a new component. I would recommend this only to create a drawing cartoon and make a parts callout on the F/D or BOM.

Hi, I'm currently doing some work in NX3 and would like to know a way to "turn off" the automatic creation of datums/datum axes when creating a sketch. I did a search but none of the topics addressed the question. Thanks, Steve

Hi Mark, Thank you for the information. I'll reference that ER when I contact GTAC to make my request. Steve

John, Those are good tips on orienting views. Thanks for posting. On a related subject...Is there a link or other information with a Function key matrix that shows what the "F" keys do within NX? Steve

Thanks John, I will contact GTAC. Are they by any chance located over in Cypress with you? Also, are enhancement requests (once blessed) rolled into a big wad with the next release or is it something accomplished with a software patch? In the meantime, F3 it is. Steve

Any way we can get NX product development add a setting to toggle them off for a whole session in the next release? or keep them but have them pop up outside of the selection area by default? Because in my design POV, they are almost completely useless. I've tried dragging them out of the way...

Thanks John, I didn't know about the F3 key input. I'll keep that in mind. BTW, does the keystroke make them go away for just that instance? or for the entire time the component position function is active? Also is there a setting I can toggle that will make them go away for an entire session...

mco, The lightweight square hole thing drives me crazy too. I just change the part I want to exact in the AN to display the shape as it should be.

I just want to add that any sketch geometry based on projected curves CAN be deleted (although it generates a system warning dialog) after that particular sketch element is created. I use this method all the time when aligning a though hole for joining multiple parts that need to be match...

I've been using NX 7.5 for about 8 months now and wondered if there is any setting to get rid of the little distance boxes that get in the way when trying to grab the dynamic WCS handles? They are really annoying? I don't remember them showing up and jumping in front of the cross hairs in UG/NX...
