NX6 and F8
NX6 and F8
(OP)
F8 snaps to the nearest orthogonal view. In past versions you were also able to select a planar face and F8 would snap to a straight on view of the selected face. Has that functionality been removed in NX6 (6.0.2.8)? I can't seem to get it to work.





RE: NX6 and F8
I have the selection filter set to 'face' and 'entire assembly', I pick a planar face that is not parallel to a canned view, press F8 and the view snaps to the nearest canned view.

Can't comment on 6.0.2.8 (anymore), but it does work correctly in 6.0.3.6.

RE: NX6 and F8
Using 6.0.2.8 as long as I have the selection filter set to face that I get the expected behaviour. If for any reason you're able to select a feature rather than the face then it appears confusing sine the highlighted object is the same but the system will not snap to the face. I believe that is to be expected.

RE: NX6 and F8
I put together a small assembly to post so you could see what is going on, but of course F8 worked as expected. However, in other existing assemblies it still only snaps to the closest orthogonal view.
RE: NX6 and F8
If the component is fully loaded, F8 works as expected. If it is only partially loaded, it will not snap to the view of the selected face. Is anyone else seeing this behavior?
This is a change from the last version I worked with (NX2), is this the way it works now or is it unintentional?
