I'm in NX 2007. The problem I am having with the Relax Relations/Dimensions settings are that if I'm working on a sketch and I can't get a curve to go tangent to a circle (for example) then a message comes up suggesting to Relax Relations and Dimensions. So I do that and make the constraint I want and it changes all the other constraints and dimensions I've created.
It would be great if I could just see what is over-constrained so I could focus on those entities. I've tried changing the color of "Over-Constrained Objects" within the preferences, but it doesn't seem to be working. I can't even delete a constraint.
I would really like to learn how to use this Relax concept since their probably not going to change it back but so far I've been disappointed.
