Visible parameters when editing
Visible parameters when editing
(OP)
ok so back for another question.
In nx3 when you edited a body the parameters were displayed so that you could click on them individually to edit. I see that I can do that with features in nx6, but I can't get them to display when editing the main body.
how do I turn them on or is that not an option?
Thank you

However, some modeling features like Extrude and Revolve as well as detail features like Chamfers and Edge Blend will have them onscreen and allow you to edit the feature using them.
I don't believe any setting will force a change in this behavior.

Was that pre-v11?

attached is a screen shot of what I'm looking for and it is from nx3.
edit feature parameters is the command in nx3 and I simply select the block.
not seeing that in nx6
RE: Visible parameters when editing
Those are the displayed parameters (dimensions if you will) of the Block. They are not used directly for editing and cannot be selected for editing as your initial post indicates. They only come up during Edit Feature and as John said, they were removed once the primitives were 'upgraded' to be fully parametric.
During an edit, features usually will have quite visible handles and/or input boxes pointing to the feature being edited if it's able to be done in the graphics area versus a dialog box. If it appears like in your screen capture, then it's only visible information for the user and not something interactive like the handles or input boxes.

RE: Visible parameters when editing
this is what i want to do in nx6.
if i can't do it cool i'll live, but i know i can do it to a fully parametric body in nx3.
RE: Visible parameters when editing
And despite what you might think, Primitive objects were NOT fully-parametric in NX 3.0. You could NOT parametrically define their location, nor in the case of Cylinders and Cones, their direction. However, starting in NX 6.0, you now have complete parametric control over ALL aspects of a Primitive object (Blocks, Cylinders, Cones and Spheres) including size, origin, and where appropriate, direction.
