cross sections and linking
cross sections and linking
(OP)
Using NX5, i want to cut a cross section of a part and then put in a seperate file. Usually I make a sketch and use the cut/paste technique and it works. However sometimes I cannot use this because it says that it is "linked" to solids (usually doesnt work on the files i need most).
Any suggestions on a better way to do this or how to turn that link off? Im coming from Catia, so usually you can just "isolate" a sketch, does NX have a similiar function.

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

There has to be a feature turned off on the file or something.

Not an easy 2 click solution, but it will work and it will not try to link to the original body.

If you start with a sketch, NX will try to link it to the body.
