1973 - Where did the model view orient command/icon go? 1

[Aaron_H]

All,

There was an icon/command for the standard model views (front, top, right, etc.) See attached picture. It was available at least through 11. I can't seem to find it in 1973 build 4320. The closest I've been able to get is orient view in the right click menu or model views under the part navigator tab on the resource bar.

Help me, John Baker. You're my only hope.

Sorry Aaron, but it's been seven years since I retired and I no longer have access to copies of NX.

That's the "orient view drop down". Open the customization dialog, select the "commands" tab, select the "all dropdowns" category then search for "orient view". It should show up there. From there you can drag & drop it onto your desired NX toolbar.

John, What rock have I been hiding under? Congrats on the retirement, unfortunate for us as we lost an incredible resource.

Cowski, I found Orient View Drop-Down under Categories but I cannot add that drop down as its own icon as before. It will only let me pick the individual views and place those. Which I suppose would work. You know engineers though, "Why can't it just be the way it was?"

I don't have NX 1973 installed, but it works for me on NX 1919 and 2206 (see screen recording).

Edit: Looks like the video didn't capture my cursor. Once I found the drop down in the list, I just did a click & drag onto the main toolbar.

That's it! You're a steely-eyed missile man. Many thanks!

While not a perfect substitution - you can also click on the sides of the coordinate cube thing to quicky orient the model view along an axis.
