WCS Functions in NX12 1

[randy64]

I have searched and found WCS functions (Display WCS, Orient WCS, Rotate WCS, etc.), and placed them in a Gallery on the Ribbon. I come in today, open my file, working in Modeling and all but Display WCS and save WCS are grayed out.

Why is this? I find these very useful. Is this done to move users towards constraints?

Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks!

They work in my version of 12. I love the WCS functions

I wonder if it could be something as simple as your WCS being turned off.

Don't know if this matters or not but, "W" is the hotkey to toggle the display of the WCS.

Quick tip:
You can double click the WCS in the graphics window; this will put it into "dynamic" mode. Handles will appear on the WCS that you can use to move and rotate the WCS. This also works on a datum csys, if the WCS is currently on top of a datum csys - be sure that you have the right one!

every once in a while, though at least once a week mine grey out as well seeming at random.
I assume it's something I'm doing inadvertently. I save and exit NX then come reload and its fine.
