Adding Tangent Point To Selection Toolbar
Adding Tangent Point To Selection Toolbar
(OP)
I am using NX6.0.3.6 and cannot add Tangent Point to my selection toolbar. It says that it is there but it does not show up in the toolbar anywhere. It does not come up as an option when I am working. Is this a bug or is there a workaround.





RE: Adding Tangent Point To Selection Toolbar
At one time we turned them ALL ON, but grayed-out the ones that were no usable by the current function but the consensus was that that was confusing to people as it cluttered up the toolbar and required you to notice what was and what was not grayed-out and so we changed the code a while back so that the ONLY Snap Point options which would appear would be those valid for the entry that you were being asked to make. And so in your case, until you actually are in a function which can utilize the 'Tangent Point' method of selecting a Snap Point, you will never actually see the icon on the Selection Bar.
I hope that make this a bit more clear as to how this works.
