Smart being deleted

[rossly]

All,

Has anyone seen this? I am on NX2. When I pick a curve that has been used for any free form opperation, it can be deleted. UG updates and gives me a failure for the feature and I can pick undo so all is good. The problem is that I can't clean up my unused curves.

Does this only happen with Freeform Features? What specific version of NX2 are you running? Have you called GTAC about this?

I'm running NX 2.0.4.2 MP6 & am not having this problem.

How is the curve created? part of a sketch, basic curve, projected curve, intersect curve, etc?

I have reported this same error in PR5096123.
I not recieved a resolution to it though. In my case, I redefined a freeform surface to use new curves, deleted the old curves, and then the feature began to fail to update. I had properly and completely redifined, but still I had problems.

Hello Rossly

The first part of your initial statement - this is a bug.

The second part, cleaning up unused curves, is it possible you have made unassociative copies of the a curve being used in a feature and they are what's being deleted? A method I use sometimes to delete unused curves - first make the first feature in the model the current feature. This will unclutter your display and make unused curves easier to select and delete.

Tinhombre,

It is a bug.

To delete unused curves I put them on one layer, delete the curves. If the curves were used in an extrusion, they don't get deleted. If they were used in a free form creation, they get deleted and the surface fails. It has little to do with position on the model tree.
