Move the detail view from one parent view to another in NX 7.5

[carliro]

Good morning Guys,

I am new in this forum. In last few days I had a task to change many details views to different parent view and delete the original one is it possible in NX 7.5?


Example: On sheet one you have to details A_A and B_B, on view A_A we have detail C, D, E, F is it possible to move details C,D,E,F to view B_B and delete view A_A?

thanks for all you answers

I am niot aware of such a function

When you create detail view 1st step is to choose the parent view from which the detail is done... why editing is not possible at the level of choosing parent view?

 

[jerry1423]

You can move the cutting plane line (of a section view), as well the the detail circle of od detail view, but only within the parent view.
There is no easy way to resequence the view labels, but it can be done manually.

 

[jerry1423]

Try to descibe what you are ultimately attempting to accomplish and maybe soeone can come up with a good way to do it.

I believe he's wanting to re-associate which parent view the detail views are using.

In short, I do not believe you can accomplish this as you're wanting to do. The easiest way would be to create a new detail from B-B (let's call it G) then reassociate the dimensions from C to G. When finished, you may delete detail view C and edit the view label for detail G to show C. Repeat for all detail views you wish to move from A-A to B-B.

Jerry, thanks for help moving in the boundary of one parent I knew previously but this is not what I wanted to do.

Xwheelguy, in result I have followed your way but I thought I could do it in some other way without deleting old details views.

Guys let me describe my situation maybe that could help.

I have an axisimetric body and I have several sections showing many different features but in the same time I have some regions that are everywhere the same. During drawing creation I have done section A_A sheet 2 and section B_B sheet 4 to show something, then I added to section B_B on sheet 4 , details B,C,D,E but unfortunatly at the end I decided to remove section B_B because design has changed and this is the reason that I wish to move detail to section A_A.

I thought that maybe we have some ways to do that. I wanted to save time on that (long time updates) for hudge assembly.

One more time thanks for help.

Moving between sheets is the same situation - recreation will be in order.

I feel it would be a great idea for an Enhancement Request - adding the ability to reassociate parent views for not just detail views, but any views that require a parent view. Wonder if John Baker has any thoughts/things to add to this?

I am not very familiar with people on that forum but is it a possibility to infrom John about it? He is a programmer for Siemens?

If you could pick a new parent for a detail view, I'm fairly sure you would lose associativity of all the dimension/drafting objects. In essence, you would be recreating the view anyway...

[carliro]

Yes, this is right but in many cases you dont have many dimensions or you dont have at all i.e. for assemblies you just have callout for BOM prefixes and this is very easy to fix.

Anyway recreating dimensions with all feature control frames etc. is much faster that doing it from the beging.
I my opinion that would by useful.

thx

[jerry1423]

As far as dimensions go
You are able to move those from one view to another

 

[carliro]

Jerry could you specify you answer?

 

[jerry1423]

RMC (right mouse click) on one of the extention lines of the dimension -> edit associativity -> pick new entity (endpoint, centerpoint, or whatever) for the dimension to go to, the new entity can be in a differnt view

 

[carliro]

Yes, that is right. I knew it. But this is still the case to change everything to attach on new created detail.
