Assembly Navigator in Full Screen NX9

[jmiklovic]

Is it possible to have your model navigator and assembly navigator visible in full screen mode in NX9?

Perhaps not in Full-Screen mode, but with NX 9.0 there is a new 'minimized' mode which is not as 'full' as full-screen, but it's close. In that mode you can have multiple free-floating navigator windows displayed just like in the normal window mode. To toggle on this 'Minimized', you'll find a 'UP' pointing 'chevron' next to the 'Full-Screen' icon. Just select it to toggle ON the 'Minimize' mode. Selecting the now 'DOWN' pointing 'chevron' will take you back to the normal window mode.

I found a bit of a work around that works great.

While in full screen mode with an assembly open, select a component. Then click the 'find in navigator' button on your selection bar. This will bring up the assembly navigator window. This will bring up the assembly navigator on your screen. From there you can drag the navigator to the side of your screen and it will dock.

It will stay docked there even for your next session of NX.

Hope this helps someone. I've found full screen mode to be great in NX9. Hit alt to bring up the ribbons and roll the center mouse button to toggle between ribbons. Very nice.

I thought you were asking to have BOTH the Assembly and Part Navigators open at the same time in Full-Screen mode.
