Redefining sketch positional reference (NX5)

Redefining sketch positional reference (NX5)

Redefining sketch positional reference (NX5)

(OP)
Often when making a lot of modeling changes a sketch will lose its positioning reference, resulting in a warning (yellow triangle) in the part history.  How can this be fixed without deleting the sketch and re-creating it?

RE: Redefining sketch positional reference (NX5)

I'm not sure I know exactly what you mean, but there is a button on the Sketch toolbar called "Reattach Sketch" which will allow you to redefine the plane and the horizontal reference.  I would try that.
