Snap view in NX7

Snap view in NX7

Snap view in NX7

(OP)
I have recently moved from NX4 to 7 and noticed that the snap view feature is gone! Anyone know why? I used this so much I thinking of moving back to 4....or am I missing something?

RE: Snap view in NX7

I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'snap view'.
If you press F8 it will snap to the closest orthogonal view, is this what you want?

RE: Snap view in NX7

(OP)
Well that works!! Thanks so much!

RE: Snap view in NX7

You can also select a planar object before hitting F8 and it will reorient the view normal to the object (won't work on components that are not fully loaded).

Actually that's been fixed, at least it's working in NX 7.5.1.4 (NX 7.5.1.5 will be available in the not too distant future).

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