NX6 Sketches
NX6 Sketches
(OP)
Hi Friends
Let me comment something about NX6 Sketches, when I make one sketch (A) in a plane or face and I make other new sketch (B), the first sketch (A) hide when I stay working in the second sketch (B).
How can I get that the sketches are visible when I work in a new sketch?
I send one image about that.
Thanks for your help
Tom

In the part naviator, rmc (right mouse click) on the feature that contains the sketch > make sketch external
Then when you are done with what you want it for then make the sketch internal again. If you associate something to that sketch then you may not be able to make it internal, which is not a big deal, but you have to live with it.
RE: NX6 Sketches
I tried to apply your tip, in the part navigator but doesn't appear " make sketch external", only appears "Make current feature". And when I select this option many parts of the part navigator doesn't work.

Use the regular edit.
RE: NX6 Sketches
It happens using "regular edit" and "roolback".
But when I change the position of the sketches in the tree of part navigator I can "link" different sketches.
But I need to see all sketches without move in the part navigator.

All sketches are in active layers. probably I need to select a preference that permit show all active sketches.
In this time I finished my model, but I will try to find how resolve this item.
Thanks a lot for your comments.

Running cad straight out of the box is OK but, a system tuned with application software is the best way to increase productivity.

I am not sure on a work around from this.

I am working considering that the previous sketch hide when I stay working in a new sketch, I only move the previous sketch in the part navigator to link sketches.
Thanks for your comments

Attached file (.prt) if you edit sketch A you can see both sketches (A,B), but if you try to edit sketch B you will not see sketch A.
I think that using the file you can understand better this item.

RE: NX6 Sketches
I did not understand the first Phill's post, but now I have the answer. The problem was that I did not use "right click" to choose 'edit', all the time I used 'roll back'.
Thanks a lot for your comment, you are very professional
Best regards

RE: NX6 Sketches
Preferences -> Modeling -> Edit
...and change the 'Double-click Action' option from 'Edit with Rollback' to 'Edit Parameters'. Now when you double-click edit ANY feature you will go into simple 'Edit' mode with performing a Rollback (note that this will effect how ALL feature are edited, however starting with NX 7.5 you will be able to independently control the double-click edit behavior of Sketchers versus other Feature types).
Note that if you do not want to edit the double-click behavior, you will need to perform an explicit 'Edit' by selecting the Sketch, press MB3 and selecting the 'Edit' option.
