Selection Issue
Selection Issue
(OP)
I am having an issue with selecting an edge when it is inside/behind another solid model. For example, if a screw is placed too far down into the mating part, I can't select the center of the bottom edge of the screw head in order to move it since it sits below the surface and in the mating solid. Is there a setting to change this?

...which controls whether you are allowed to select hidden curves/edges. When Toggled ON (as shown above) you are able to select 'thru' the shaded image and select 'hidden' curves. When toggled OFF, only visible curves/edges are allowed to be selected. If this item is not visible on your Selection Bar, you can use Customize to turn it on.

As noted before, I didn't have this problem pre-NX4.
Is that toggle only intended for curves and edges as it is titled, or for any type of entity?
