NX6 - Legacy Transform

[phillpd]

A user, sorely missing the legcay Transform functions has just shown me how to 'find' them, without resorting to enabling the environment variable.

Simply perform one of the available transformations, and when you get to the Move/Copy menu, you will have the Transformation Type button available. Simply click that, and all the legacy functions are available.

Amazing what users will go through to stay in the past.

There is some functionality in the old menus that I miss, making incremental copies was much easier the old way - for 1 example.

 

[ewh]

Remaining in the past is a necessity for some functionality, such as scaling curves, unless you like following obtuse work-arounds for what were previously simple tasks.

I agree wholeheartedly with most of what has been said here, but for the comment about making incremental copies, in which case I would defer to persuading users to try instance geometry.

As a mere user one wonders why all scaling and repositioning functions aren't simply ported to instance geometry along with those that already more or less correspond with transformations.
