NX6 - Visible in View
NX6 - Visible in View
(OP)
NX 6.0.5.3
Using visible-in-view, I make a layer visible. I then create some dimensions, selecting the geometry I made visible. When I now make the geometry invisible, my dimensions change to 'retained'.
Did something change between NX3 and NX6 ? Surely that behavious isn't correct ?

RE: NX6 - Visible in View
I also tested NX 7.0.1.7 and NX 7.5.1.4 with the same results, that is if I turn a dimensioned object OFF using Visible in View to the set the layer that the object was on invisible, the dimensions referencing the now invisible object are NOT changed to a 'Retained' status.
I tried this by saving the part, reopening it with partial loading, everything that I could think of which could possibly affect this and each time, nothing. I get the same behavior I verified in NX 3.0 (and NX 4.0 and NX 5.0 as well).
Sorry, I don't know what to tell you, but there has to be something more going on here than just a simple Visible in View changing the display status of a dimensioned object.

I'm thinking there's something else going on. I'll look further.

RE: NX6 - Visible in View
It worked fine in NX3 and NX4.
