Face emphasis vs edge NX2-NX4
Face emphasis vs edge NX2-NX4
(OP)
Is there a way to change the curser selection mode back to curve/ edge of NX2 vs the face orientated one in NX4?
Picking objects is harder/slower now than before. I have tryed changing the intent to single curve, but I'm still not getting the previous results.

I knew there must be a simple solution.
If I recall correctly G used to be for general objects and F for features. I always kept it on features for the easy parameter editting. If I understand you correctly I'll now have to toggle back and forth? I'm not at work right now so I can't test it out.

RE: Face emphasis vs edge NX2-NX4
As for the old "G" being General, meaning Edges, Faces, Curves, etc, that was correct. Now starting in UGS NX 4, "G" means that Faces have priority since there is now an "E" for Edges and Curves. But remember, NONE of these 'priorities' are exclusive 'modes', but rather just an attempt to shift the priorities of what gets selected ahead of other types, but keeping them all selectable with something like Quick Pick. Our testing showed that the exclusive nature of the old 'modes' often frustrated users when it was obvious what it was they wanted to select but found themselves in the 'wrong' mode.
Anyway, give it a try when you get a chance, changing the options and seeing how selection behaves as well as how this plays when using Quick Pick.
