Setting the width of navigator windows in NX3
Setting the width of navigator windows in NX3
(OP)
Does anyone know if you can adjust the width of the part and assembly navigator windows? With the amount of "variables" I have turned on I have to constantly scroll to see what I need and I would really love to know how to make it wider so I can see what I want without scrolling. Is this possible in NX3, what about other releases? We will be going to NX5 soon.
Thank you,
Thank you,

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

BTW, there is no need to do a 'Right-Click', but rather just allow your cursor to hover over the edge of the window until the appearance of the cursor change from the normal 'target' to a double-ended arrow '<->'. As soon as you see this change, press down MB1 (LEFT mouse button) and drag the edge of the window, letting go when you reach the desired width.

But that being said, they this as well. Open some normal dialog like...
Insert -> Design Feature -> Block...
... see if you can, using the instructions in my previous posts, edit the width of the Block feature dialog. If that works, but not the Navigator panel, I really don't know what to suggest.

I can change the size of the design feature block window (the example you mentioned above..but it is like just like COWSKI said. I should have made that clear, but I am working with 2 monitors and my part and assembly navigation windows are unpinned and placed on the second monitor. What he experienced is the exact same thing, I was just hoping someone knew of a way to over ride it. Just real glad it doesn't seem to be an issue in latter releases of NX.
Thank you both for replying.

As our system is setup, you can only change the width of a navigator window inside of the main NX display window. You have to drag the navigator inside the main display (but still free), change the width, then put it back where you want it.
It seems to be fixed in NX6.
