layers messed up
layers messed up
(OP)
I have a weird problem in NX6. Turning on or off specific layers doesn't actually do anything in the part. I think someone may have been fooling around with Visible in View and that screwed something up somehow. I can Hide or Show features in the Part Navigator, but using layers is useless. I found a closed thread about this very problem from a few years ago, but it devolved into whether Visible in View was useful in part mode and the question never got answered. Is there a way to set this all right again? Reset to Global doesn't seem to do anything.

RE: layers messed up
First make sure all your layers are turned on.
Then (as you mentioned) go into each one of your model views and:
Format > visible in view > reset to global
and then:
View > operation > save
I hope that will do it.

I hope there are better suggestions
RE: layers messed up
After picking Reset to Global I would pick OK, which would then go to the list of all 256 layers, where I would pick OK again to get out of the menu. That's not the way to do it. After you pick OK the first time, and the list of layers comes up, you need to pick Cancel to get out of the menus. After I tried that and then checked that views status it was Global. Now my layers work just fine.
Thanks to everyone for the help!

I think there should be a setting in NX that would allow/disallow "visible in view" in the canned model views.

It's fixed now though and life is good again.

Come the revolution the first ones up against the wall will be the sods who use visible in view in modelling!
