Deleting a "saved WCS" and/or choosing to put your WCS back there

[JChurch77]

I am working in NX6. This is probably simple, I saved a WCS location using "Save WCS". Since then Ive moved my WCS back to 0,0,0. Now I want to put it back to the saved location, how do I do that? Also when Im done I want to delete it, it shows up in my drawings. Thank you.

First of all if when you delete your "saved WCS" your WCS cannot be on top if it, or it won't delete. So move your WCS off the saved one, and then to delete it just select it and delete.
To orient your WCS to the saved one just go to
format > WCS > orient > select saved WCS

Hi Jerry,
It will not HIGHLIGHT and let me delete it, nor can I go to "Orient" and chose it. Strange!

Check to make sure that your selection filter is set to "No Selection Filter"

Yes, it is

When you are in the WCS orient dialog, change the type to 'inferred', then it should let you pick the saved WCS.

If you want to keep the saved WCS but not have it show up in your drawing, remove it from the reference set (you are using reference sets and the master model approach, yes?). Alternatively you can use layers to hide it in the drawing.

No reference sets, no master model approach. I am familiar with both and know how to go about them both. But, unfortunately the place that employs me currently uses 1, I repeat 1 PRT. file and has a whole mold design in it.....generally when the mold is complete, every component is a "dumb solid" and that is from deleting parameters constantly. This blows your mind doesnt it lol. Its the way its been here and I am the only one here with formal Unigraphics training. I have explained numorous times the "real deal" approach to using Unigraphics in the formal way.
Anyways, with all that being said, I tried to using inferred as the type and it just will not pick it up, honestly I cant even click on it and delete it....

try hiding everything and then do a delete > select all . I think I had this problem a while back - hopefully it will come back to me exactly what the problem was.

Yep that worked Jerry. Why though? That seems strange.
