Sketch Select-ability through opaque solids
Sketch Select-ability through opaque solids
(OP)
Similar to a previous post: thread561-244099: Sketch Visibility , and visited again because I found something that almost got me where I want to be in NX7.5. The see-thru command was what I thought was going to finally allow me to select sketches through opaque solids, but this is still only possible by clicking at least a percent of translucency into the model.
The sweet radial commands have made this somewhat better in that I just quickly go between solid and wireframe, but wireframe of complex assemblies gets very messy. If the see-thru command would allow me to select-sketches-thru, I'd be very happy. Is this a legitimate request for enhancement? Is there now (now that I am in NX7.5)a command that will allow me to do this? Essentially if I could trick my system to make all parts displayed as fully shaded have 1% translucency (without having to change all of them each time I load them) I would be all set, and would never visit this topic again.
Thanks for your time, and please ask for any clarifications of what I am looking for.

RE: Sketch Select-ability through opaque solids
I am very happy now. I can see complex sketches buried down in complex assemblies (without wireframe clutter), select them, and edit them in context of the assembly.
Thanks again,
