Switch from model to drafting
Switch from model to drafting
(OP)
Hi,
my steps that I use to go from the model to his drafting, it seem absurd, I hope I am wrong.
As suggested by Siemens, I keep separate the model to his drafting.
To make this switch, I make these steps:
1) From the model I select the Windows menu and select his specification
2) Once I do this I'm in the modeling specification
3) At this point I click on Start menu 'NX drafting' or I type Ctrl + Shift + D
To switch from drawing to model performs the same procedure in reverse.
There seems absurd?
Do not talk about it if I'm changing a part in the assembly environment and I have to go to his specification.
Do you make the same ?
Regards,

I had a thread on here a while back asking why it can't remember which application you're running in each window and then automatically switch when you change windows.
I was told that it was a lot more complicated than I thought, but that's what software developers always say when they don't want to do something (I do a fair bit of software too).

Seeing as this may be a common concern (independently my colleagues have griped about this too) I'm wondering whether it would make sense to have the facility to set a 'file associativity option' (with the default being to do nothing).
For example you could set the option that specifictions always go into drafting (and maybe you could hold down shift or alt if you don't want it to).
I guess this is similar to windows where you plug in your camera and it asks you what you want to do ... then you can select to 'always do this'!
Just a thought from a user who doesn't program software ...

Each window that's available in the list of windows should be able to remember which application it last used during the session.
That's got nothing to do with databases and I still don't understand what is so difficult about implementing this.
There is clearly an internal list of all the windows that can be viewed, so add an application field to the data.
When a window is selected look in that list to see which application is required and put the system into that mode.
Have a preference to turn this off.
