NX6 Edit Crosshatch Boundary

[hurley710]

Hello all,

Just upgraded to NX6 yesterday! Only thing I'm not seeing is the icon to edit crosshatch boundary. In the past, If i needed to place a dimension or ID symbol over crosshatching, I could then edit the boundary and add the dim/symbol and it would just x-hatch around it rather than through it. The only way I'm seeing this can be done now is by right-clicking on the x-hatch and selecting Edit. I'm not a fan. Anyone know if an icon still exists to do this? Thanks in advance.

There is no longer an explicit 'Edit Crosshatch' icon, but rather one labeled 'Edit Annotation' on the Drafting Edit toolbar which is a general purpose tool allowing you to select and edit any Drafting annotation object. Either select the crosshatch object first and then the 'Edit Annotation' icon, or select the icon first and then the crosshatching.

BTW, if you had used the Command Finder and typed in 'crosshatch', 'Edit Annotation' would been one of the hits.
