Sep 23, 2011 #4 cowski Mechanical Apr 23, 2000 8,181 It doesn't work for any feature you try it on or only certain ones? What version of NX? and can you post an example file? Upvote 0 Downvote

Sep 23, 2011 #8 cowski Mechanical Apr 23, 2000 8,181 You should at least apply the latest patch (6.0.5.3 I think) before you go on a potential goose chase with the settings. Upvote 0 Downvote

Sep 23, 2011 Thread starter #10 rmorgan890 Mechanical Sep 23, 2011 70 If it's a result of the version I'm using, then there's nothing I can do about that, unfortunately. Also, its not a result of the feature being suppressed. It doesn't work regardless of the feature or the part file. Thanks anyway. Upvote 0 Downvote

Sep 23, 2011 #11 JohnRBaker Mechanical Jun 1, 2006 35,869 This is a long shot, but go to... View -> Camera -> Edit... ...and go the section of the dialog labeled 'Clipping' and select the 'Fit Planes to Extents' button and then hit OK. Now try editing the features. John R. Baker, P.E.
