A question on NX7.5 1

[Darthdad]

Hi Guys

I'm using NX7.5.0.32 on a Windows7 64bit, and I have a question hopefully someone can answer for me.
I use the curve length command quite extensively, and it has changed between NX7 and NX7.5 in that it no longer is a dynamic input. What I mean is that when I select a curve in the 'curve length command' it automatically reverts to the last curve limit. Is there a way to change it so that it picks up the curve length of the selected curve?
Hope this makes sense.

Best regards

I'm not sure which command that you're talking about. Are you talking about...

Analysis -> Measure Distance -> Length

...or are you talking about...

Analysis -> Measure Length...?

Hi John

The command is under - Edit->Curve->Length.
Sorry for not making it clear.

I see what you mean and I agree that this appears to be a mistake. I'm opening a PR and will get back to you with what I learn.

What I do is type zero in the total box and hit enter. Then I pick the curve I want and it will display it's full length.

This is being resolved as we type.

I just added my approval to the fix this morning. Hopefully it will make NX 7.5.2.x.
