How to set the snap increments for Move Command 7.5

[Cid1979]

Anybody know how to set the snap increments for the move command so that I don't have to keep typing it everytime I move a component?

NO I am talking about setting the snap increments for when you move a component. It always defaults to 0.000 I would like to set that.

Reposition Component, Click on component, set snap increment, drag by handles.

NX 7.5 does not have reposition it's called move, and I know how to do that, I want to set it so I don't have to type the increments in EVERYTIME I go to move a component.

The best that you can do is hit the Tab key whenever you select a vector Drag Handle and enter you increment value. Note that once you enter a value, as long as the Drag Handle remains on the screen you can select another vector direction and the increment value will be retained. However, once you pick another Component or leave the dialog and come back, the increment value will be reset to zero.

That is what I was afraid of, is there anyway to put a bug into R&D and have them able to do this?

Call GTAC and have them open an ER (Enhancement Request).
