NX6-Move & chaining curves... how?
NX6-Move & chaining curves... how?
(OP)
Ok... what am I missing? I want to chain some curves and move them, but I can't seem to figure out how to chain the curves from within the move command. So what gives?

Is this a correct understanding?

EWH: Cowski's response got me to looking in the customization menu, which allowed me to dock the 'chain' icon from <Tools><Customize...><Commands><Selection Bar><chain (located at the bottom of the list, naturally)onto the Selection menu. This solved my issue, and addresses yours.
Thanks again guys...

To see a bit of how this will work, look at the attached video and note that the first attempt is your normal 'chaining' type situation, while the second part shows how you can use the various Selection Intent options to infer a path through a maze of curves, noting while I'm moving my cursor over the curves it's showing me all the possible 'paths' and by making incremental selections you can see how a very complex path through an ambiguous maze of curves may only require a minimum number of picks to the your final desire result.
Anyway, take a look and let me know what you think of the approach that we're taking. As I noted this will be part of NX 7.5, at least wherever the Selection Intent tools are available.
