Smart being deleted
Smart being deleted
(OP)
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.

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.

RE: Smart being deleted
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.
RE: Smart being deleted
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.
