So what has happend to "simplify" in NX5.0.2.2
I'm guessing that the delete face in Direct modeling should be used instead ?

RE: Simplify
Also note that with NX 6, there will be even more enhancements to what we've traditionally refereed to as Direct Modeling, now known, at least for marketing purposes, as Design Freedom, which will further provide capabilities which will make the need for a separate 'Simiplfy' tool, at least for modeling purposes, unnecessary.

The Local Scale, Simplify Body and Edit Face commands are hidden in NX5.0.2 and
higher. You can add them back to the user interface with the following:
Local Scale: set the variable UGII_DMX_NX502 = 1 in NX502. In NX503 and
higher, use Tools -> Customize --> Commands tab --> Insert --> Direct Modeling
--> add the Scale Body (new name) to the menu.
Simplify Body: set the variable UGII_DMX_NX502 = 1 in NX502 and higher. You
may have to add the function using the Customize dialog as above to the Direct
Modeling menu.
Edit Face: with UGII_DMX_NX502 = 1 in NX503 and higher. This function will
appear at the bottom of the Edit menu.
RE: Simplify
It's one thing to fall behind because for whatever reason you or your organization can't move to the latest release. But it is quite another when you do spend the time and resources to upgrade, but then demand that we tell you how to turn on the 'old functions' because you don't like the new ones. That's just being naive if you think that you 'can somehow have your cake and eat it to' and thus avoid having to learn the new way of doing things. NX is a software product that will continue to evolve in order to stay competitive and to continue to provide the best level of functionality possible. In order to accomplish that, things do and will change. Get used to it!

RE: Simplify
We use simplify (especially automatic hole removal) to prepare manufacturing files for some vendors or processes where delete face is a VERY tedious replacement. The old command in fact allowed near complete automation in our design libraries.
RE: Simplify
Which is the only reason that we still provide the POSSIBILITY of going back to an old command, but that is still no excuse for not learning what the new functions are capable of doing, which is a great segue into what I'm sure was your justification for making the above remark in the first place.

And I suppose NO one ever cared to look at the fact that in the Type section of the Delete Face dialog that the option titled 'Face' was actually ONE of TWO options, the other being 'Hole', as shown in the image below.
