NX7 - Lightweight models
NX7 - Lightweight models
(OP)
Hi all,
We (the company I work for) are currently using NX4 and we produce a lot of large assemblies. I've installed NX7 on one machine as I was on the understanding that we may benefit from some of the JT features.
Am I correct in thinking I should be able to add a view and detail it using the JT reference set? I've added a view but I can't seem to turn off hidden edges. It might be that I'm missing something :(
Any help VERY MUCH appreciated.

I've turned hidden lines to invisible but I can still see them :(
Am I right that I should be able to do this with the JT? Also, is using the Lightweight (FACET) reference set the same as using JT?
Thank you

Or use the Visible layers in view function, CTRL+SHIFT+V and use the reset to global button for the sheet and all the views.

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

RE: NX7 - Lightweight models
For some reason I was under the impression that this could be done in NX7.
Oh well that explains the issues I'm having, am I right that lightweight is the same thing as JT?
Thank you!
