Sketch Visibility
Sketch Visibility
(OP)
First off, NX6 is Awesome!...finally getting to mess around with it a bit more. Today's favorite finds are 'Reference' (feature parameters) and make sheet metal from Solid.
Anyways, I was wondering if it is now possible to have sketches show up entirely through a shaded part without having to 'edit' them? In the past I would just select the sketch and all of it would highlight through the shaded solid, now only the visible portions (those between you and the solid) highlight. I would the option of having all of a certain sketch (or all sketches on many parts) be shown at all times unless I have that layer turned off. (Layers aren't forecasted to go away, are they?)
Thanks for your time,
KLINE

Preferences -> Selection...
...and in the 'Highlight' section of the dialog, toggle ON the 'Highlight Hidden Edges' option.

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