Selection intent pop-up NX7.5

[Dawson70]

Is there a way to disable the curser pop-up for selection intent in NX7.5?

It is constantly in my way, and I have gotten used to flicking my mouse between clicks to throw it off into blank space.

Not sure if this will address your issue, but try going to...

Preferences -> Selection

...and in the 'QuickPick' section of the dialog, toggle the 'QuickPick on Delay' option OFF and hit OK.

Now when you are selecting something with the cursor the the 3 dots (...) will not appear until you have held down MB1 for about half a second. In this way you now have complete control over when QuickPick is or is not launched.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

I'll try your suggestion in the morning.

Once again, thanks for the fast reply!

In retrospect I think I know the preference setting you mentioned.

The one I'm referring to is the one that places single curve, chain curves, etc. that now shows up at the tip of my curser when picking curves for a boundary in mfg or extrude in modeling.

Is this the same?

This is what's known as the 'Active Selection' mini-toolbar and it has been enabled during profile selection since NX 6.0.

Now there's no option which will disable this behavior, however if you simply move your cursor away from the mini-toolbar or press MB1, it will disappear. Note that if you're running on Windows 7 the mini-toolbar will appear translucent, making it less noticeable since you can see thru it.
