Hi everybody,
do you know if NX9 has some tool for searching and finding geometry in graphic window?
I guess, that feature is in the NX8.5, but I have forgot how is called...
Note: I know...after item marking, the geometry is shining, but I have a case when I have many small items and I can't to find the right one.

For example: Catia v5 has the Reframe On after right click above item of tree

Thanks in advance
Jan

mark the feature in the partnavigator,
goto view tab look for fit view to selected
the opposite for Catia users center graph is:
mark feature in 3d and goto the selection bar something like find in navigator icon with the telescope

sorry new in NX
regards

Now here's the perfect opportunity to customize your 'Shortcut Toolbar' by adding the 'Fit View to Selected' item so that all you had to do was either select the feature on the screen and this option would be immediately available, or when selecting a feature from the Part Navigator, the workflow would be to select the feature, press MB3, the 'Shortcut Toolbar' will appear and again you could immediately pick the 'Fit View to Selected' item. In fact, if you added the 'Fit View to Selected' icon using...

Customize -> Shortcuts -> All Objects

...this would allow you to perform this operation on ANY selected object, be it a feature, Component, edge, curve, point, even a note on a Drawing.
