Hey all,
is there a setting somewhere for the SEW operation that will show where there are gaps with red lines? Can't seem to get that to work anymore.

Thanks

Click apply instead of ok. That's the way I've always gotten any boundaries to be displayed

NX3 to NX10 with almost every MR (21versions)
 
I just checked with the NX8.5.3 MP9 and it does not show the boundary lines when OK is clicked either. Did earlier versions have such behaviour?

Anyway, the lines are shown if you click Apply or select Preview.

 
I've seen in both ways in NX9 (i.e., sometimes the lines show as read when the Sew has issues, but other times there are no highlighted lines, but there is still an issue preventing it from sewing). One thing that is sometimes helpful is switching to wireframe (instead of solid viewing).
