Selection settings
Selection settings
(OP)
I can't select temporary axes on a part when editing another part in an assembly. Where is the setting for this?
I've looked eveywhere under tools/options, but seem to be missing the setting.

RE: Selection settings
Not jumping down your throat, Scott, 'cause I know you're just offering an opinion, but I have a problem with options that are available to users that really shouldn't be.
RE: Selection settings
If you have a single part and it was 4 features in it. You can incontext each feature to 4 different parts. Those parts when changed will affect that single part. That part could easily get messed up by either 1 of those 4 parts or a combination of any of those parts.
Have you ever tried to work on some elses file...? Sometimes it can be quite annoying trying to figure out what they did. Now add the combination of in-context (without the option on) Now it's just crazy trying to figure out what was done and how/why it was done. Now turn the option on and now you have complexed the matter beyond comprehension. SW may support it... but I don't think I would be able to diagnose and issue like that in a reasonable amount of time. It could take weeks to understand what a user did to a file if it had that many in-contexted relationships.
The Cluster %$@% I had above was sent to the VAR I work for now and he looked at it for weeks and could not determine what I did to get it so messed up and that was when that option was not available. I learned alot from the Cluster... and that was how and why I created the FAQ "Assemlby mates and Best Practices".
