NX6.something & work in expanded view
NX6.something & work in expanded view
(OP)
I have not done a lot of detailing lately. Even when I did, I rarely used expanded view. I have almost all icon menues off, to maximize working screen size. In expanded view Insert-Point and Insert-Curve are mostly grayed out. However, activating the icon menu allows insertion of both elements into the expanded view. Is this duality of status as designed or is there a toggle here at work that needs to be adjusted? Thanks Guys!

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

So when you start adding curves to a drawing which is anything other than 1:1 scale, if the size of the object which you're adding are going to created in terms of what one would like to see if the drawing were plotting out onto paper, then draw them on the Drawing sheet itself. However, if the objects are to drawn relative to the model size, then draw them in the context of the relevant views.
