NX6 from drafting to modeling
NX6 from drafting to modeling
(OP)
When I go from drafting and into modeling my application stays in "drafting". I then have to toggle the modeling application to get into it.
Is there a way to go immediately into the modeling application, without manually toggling it, when I go out of the drawing and into the model?

RE: NX6 from drafting to modeling
The 3d environment that you access using that function allows you to manipulate certain elements of the model in 3d workspace for setting up drawing views and the like without consuming a modelling licence.
You can at any time simply swap between drafting and modelling by toggling the applications without first changing to the 3d workspace as described above. Maybe all you need to work on is setting up your icons or toolbars so that the right functions are accessible to you whenever you need them.
Either that or I'm making sense of your question where there otherwise is none unless you've happened upon a hitherto unseen bug.

It's still in NX6 so maybey i'm going to make him do so if we switched to NX6 in a couple of months.

RE: NX6 from drafting to modeling
I am working in master model, and when I go to the model file I tend to do it thru the ANT, by clicking on the file, and making it the displayed part. When I get to the part I am still in "drafting".
I just thought of something as I am writing this ... I think my problem is that I have "display sheet" toggled off in the model file. If I did not have it toggled off the sheet would be displayed while I am still in drafting.
I guess it would be a nice NX enhancement to have the application switch to "modeling" when the "display sheet" is toggled off.

RE: NX6 from drafting to modeling
Seems like that could be the next step since on opening a part NX6 can change to the application the file was saved in.
RE: NX6 from drafting to modeling
I think I remember doing it that way in pre-V10 parts, but I could be wrong about that.
RE: NX6 from drafting to modeling
Now in order to simulate that behaviour my best guess would be that you add to your templates attributes for the preferred application that you could use with a custom written program to change parts. It sounds like a fairly complex thing to want to do to me, and there may not even be any guarantee that it will work from one release to the next. Even knowing as I do that it can be inconvenient to have to manually change applications I would have to say that the time savings which such a customisation would yeild are moderate at best.
