NX6 part navigator icon

[moovrr]

Does anyone know where I can find the NX6 Part Navigator Help which explains what the image attached icon is?

It appears to be a warning but the sketch is fully constrained!

It is an 'alert'. If you hover your mouse over the icon it may give you some descriptive text (doesn't always work for me for some reason). It is probably just a message to say something has changed, it doesn't mean your sketch is invalid or unconstrained, just something you may want to know.

If something important goes wrong, you will see a red icon.

You can also enable an extra column in the Part Navigator which will show any current 'Alert' associated with a feature. Just place your cursor over some 'white space' in the Part Navigator, press MB3 and when the list of options comes up, if you place your cursor over the item labeled 'Columns', a list of available 'topics' will be displayed which if you toggle ON, will be added as an additional Column in the Part Navigator.

You might just want to check that your sketch is correctly attached to a plane and referenced to a horizontal datum.

Apologies if you know now to do this but ...
Within 'Sketcher', if you click on the 'Reattach' icon (blue cube with red square) it should show you if you have lost either the datum or horizontal reference.
Take a look at the attached image - you should have two green ticks. If there are any red stars then just pick the appropriate reference.

Yes you were right it showed an error with the sketch when I added the Alert column which has now been fixed.

Thanks to all for your help.
