Broken View Won't Edit

[Twullf]

Recently upgraded from 7.5.3.3 to 7.5.5.4

Previous to this the feature worked perfectly fine. The drawing and broken view were created after the update.

I bring up the broken view tool, and am unable to select the view I wish to modify. So I went into boundary tool box and told it to make the boundary automatic. I am still unable to select the view in order to create a new broken view.

In order to edit the one view I had to delete all the views and recreate them. Very inefficient.

Any idea what went wrong or if there was another trick I could have used to fix the problem?

Thanks for your time.

Have you contacted GTAC and submitted an example drawing for them to look at?

No I figured there was a trick of the trade that I was missing and wanted to verify that before I submitted anything to GTAC. Company I work for does NOT like me to send drawings or models out to any external customers.

I can only use it in extreme circumstances.

I bring this up because you seem to imply that something changed from one MR to another. It's critical to report these sorts of issues to GTAC and development, however I have to say that with respect to 'Broken Views', unless it's some sort of show-stopper, there may not be much that can be done since NX 7.5 will soon move into critical maintanance-only mode. Besides, starting with NX 8.0, the Broken View function has been replaced with a totally new function.
