Update Display options?

[JMagnus]

Is there any way to get NX10 to periodically update display automatically? Like set it on a timer to do it every 10 seconds or so?

I do a lot of gaming at home and I know that the two drivers for each type of graphics are COMPLETELY different, but I feel like it should be able to globally update display constantly as you rotate/zoom etc.

Thanks in advance!

An update to my situation:

I saved all my settings and somehow IT managed to switch them all back to the defaults. So it looks like I will have to continuously change all of the visualization preferences and faceting options every day.

Also, I found something that DOES break when you load partial, because after I changed those and saved them, wouldn't you know I came in this morning and they were back to load partially! Even though I hit the "Save as Default" option in my assembly load preferences... Maybe IT has a .cmd file or something when I load up NX/TC to reset all of my settings *sigh*

Point is! what broke is the WAVE-link function. When I loaded up partially, my constraints and pieces were all crooked and a WAVE-link was wrong. I checked the "status" and it said "up to date" but I knew it wasn't. Thus, there IS something that is effected by partial loading, just as a heads up for everyone else here!

@JMagnus Are you using teamcenter?

 

[JMagnus]

yes, I am using Teamcenter, Teamcenter 10 to be exact

We needed to flip a switch last week that affects your assembly load options depending on where you open your file from. For example if you launch your part from teamcenter you have a certain load options vs, if you open a part from NX. Please see below for the explanation of your assembly load options switches. I do not know if this fixes your issues but may give a place to look if your assembly load options are changing. Maybe there are even more switches in teamcenter that could be messing with your settings.

Validate the following preference(s) in Teamcenter;
Edit --> Options --> Index;


TC_NX_Navigator_Override_NX_Load_Option

Documentation:
Valid Values
As Saved - Loads the part file as it was saved in Teamcenter Integration for
NX.

Latest - Loads the part file with the latest revision rule.

None - Ignores the As Saved command and loads the assembly as defined in
the load_options.def file.

Default Values
Latest

yeah so I don't even have an index tab under the options folder in Edit>Options....

I don't know if my organization has a way to hide that or something. everything else that I can't change is simply grayed out.

Making a Component Part the Work Part, or even the Displayed Part, and if you even "rotate the screen", this will NOT mark the Component as 'modified'.

This is true, but i think what you will find is that if you change the view type from Shaded/Shaded with Edges to any Wire Frame view.. NX marks the part as modified.

This has been a frustration and huge annoyance for me since NX3!

Of course changing the display mode will mark the part as modified because technically it has been since the display mode is something that is saved with the part file and therefore, when changed, even if it's simply toggled OFF and then back ON, the system has no choice but to assume that something has been changed and that you probably should save the file.
