How to Move Curves in Drawing

[Jashe]

I had to create labels in a drawing (NX 2007) using the Active Sketch in a view and now they want to move those labels. I've been trying to do this using the Move Curve tool. It's not going so well. I am unable to use the Dynamic option to manually move the curves. It's doing some funny stuff when I try to use it. Anybody know?

Since the labels were created in a sketch, you will need to activate the sketch and see if/how they are constrained to the existing geometry. Break any constraints necessary for the desired move.

Thanks Cowski. But how do I "break" a constraint now that they've changed it to "Relations". There used to be a "Remove/Add Constraints" tool. Now what do I do?

This is the backside of the "every curve should be a member of a sketch" which is Siemens drafting strategy.
If these curves are members of a sketch, and that sketch is created in a view on a drawing, maybe you can copy the curves and paste to the drawing sheet instead of the view. then delete the original curves.

The more you know about a subject, the more you know how little you know about that subject.

I try to avoid sketching in the drawing as much as possible. I prefer to do those kinds of things in the 3D model. Project the curves onto the model surfaces and as long as they're in the correct reference set they show up on the drawing. You can use a layer to only show them in the view(s) you wish.
