How should I work with 2D lines that were converted from .DXF to PRT ?
How should I work with 2D lines that were converted from .DXF to PRT ?
(OP)
Hello guys:
I am having some small problems dealing with 2D lines that were converted from .dxf to .prt and I am using NX5. I am finding it difficult to manipulate these lines such as if I offset one line and try and delete the other both lines get erased or if I add a line across an existing line I can’t trim it.
So how do you handle something like this in NX?
Thanks!

Expanding the view
going into view style and setting the extracted edges to associative
inserting a sketch into view and then going to insert - sketch - existing curves

I am working in modeling and I will need to extrude this sketch, and they do extrude fine; I just need an effective tool to move lines around, like the ones available in sketcher.
Thanks.

Tim there is so much stuff to adjust there in Customer Defaults that its hard to say at this time what to set. But thanks for you advise, and trust me I take notes! But yeah so far I have made some adjustments and all and all I am liking NX5 a lot!
Thanks a bunch!
