Sketch rotate variable
Sketch rotate variable
(OP)
Hello all
We have recently just had a hardware refresh and since the refresh I have had users making my ears bleed because before the refresh, when you created a sketch or entered one, it used to lock out the space mouse rotation automatically with only pan and zoom operating normally until you exited the sketch at which point rotation would swith back on.
Now I asked Mr J.R.Baker offline and he said that he doesn't recall such a setting in the variable files, but i definately remember swithching some thing on my own computer because I hated the rotation lock and this makes me think that out 300 CAD users have inherited my settings file.
Would anyone happen to know what the name of this variable is to I can stop the ear bending I'm getting from my user base....It's worth a big fat shiny purple star if you do.
Many thanks in advance.

Life shouldn't be measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of times when it's taken away...





RE: Sketch rotate variable
Of course you can toggle it in Prefernces > 3D Input
before you get into the sketch

RE: Sketch rotate variable
Check out this thread ... "Sketcher Locks into 2D mode: 3D Connexion Space Navigator, NX4" ... your 'issue' is related to the Connexion driver for NX.
RE: Sketch rotate variable
I have searched for that thread and cannot find it?

What is the "annoying little fixed tool bar with the green tick red x and selection intent button" ?

This just goes to prove that old software adage that "One man's 'bug' is another man's 'feature'."

RE: Sketch rotate variable
You know for exsmple when you select edit --> blank. In the top corner of the screen, a little fixed tool bar appears with the selection intent button on it and and X and a tick? Well you can set something so that this doesn't appear and it just pops open the full selection intent window saving yourself a few clicks.

There is this variable that can be used in NX4 ... Enable the Class Selection = Dialog NX_FORCE_CSD=1
That what you're looking for ?

Frankly I don't know how many users you have or how bad your hardware is but I would have thought, putting implementation costs to one side, that most hardware runs the later versions better if anything. What if any comparative testing have you done?

RE: Sketch rotate variable
the upgrade from TCE9 to TC Unified will take you on a long journey, as you will need to do this in 2 steps, first from TCE9 to TC2005 and then to TC unified, it takes about one full day for each upgrade with up to 400 steps, and if you don't keep an eye on it you will find the upgrade has stopped on step 204 or something like that and you can start all over again.
And frankly speaking, the new TC Unified looks better, but some things aren't improved, maybey the processes and programming behind it is better, but for ex. a rename of a part will take you 3 times longer then before, because you need to check in and out the parts which you want to modify not like in the good old days; RM button then properties and adapt whatever you want clik ok and finished.
The upgrade is very time consuming, but neccessary if you want to enjoy your NX7.5 experience. Good luck with it.

Michäël.
