What happened to extract edges in drafting mode in NX6?
What happened to extract edges in drafting mode in NX6?
(OP)
All,
I used to be able to expand a view on a drafting sheet and extract the endges/curves. I cannot seem to find the extract edges ability in NX6. I've read the help and it only seems to talk about how to set associative preferences for extracted edges. Has this ability been removed?
I use this ability when creating dwg files. It's been my experience that 2D exchange works best when creating 2D DWG files. However, to get good drawings of assemblies with complete views I've always had to extract the edges first. For part files this step was unecessary.
So, can someone please tell me where extract edges moved to or explain why 2D exchange won't export all of the lines/curves of assembly views?
Thanks in advance,
Aaron

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

By definition, the 'associative' extracted curves are still 'associated' with the Component, hence when you hide the Component, we honor your request.
