UG NX6 Sketch Constraints Display Bugs

UG NX6 Sketch Constraints Display Bugs

UG NX6 Sketch Constraints Display Bugs

(OP)
thread561-188548: PROBLEMS WITH CONSTRAINT, AND SKETCH VISIBILITY
Four years and two versions later,
UG still didn't fix the bugs.

I.e. UG (NX6) doesn't display constraints in the sketcher after I did some updates to the part replacing features and returning to the sketch.
Actually, displays selectively: e.g. equal length are shown, but can't see perpendicular signs. Adding a new constraints shows new perp. signs.

May be there are no constriants at all?
so I try to set the perp. constraint and as I select the two curves that I know are constrained and see the perp. constraint button depressed and deactivated (grayed out). So I guess it's there.

Ok. If it's there, but not displayed, I should be able to delete it? So I hit "show/remove constraints" select "perpendicular", "All in active sketch", "Both" (expl. and implicit)
And see NOTHING. Not even new perp. constraint that I set up and can see on sketch.

Any suggestions?
Any ideas are appreciated

P.S. So tired of bugs in UG... So much time wasted...
Company's UG support is useless - starts reading help to figure out what I'm asking about...



 

RE: UG NX6 Sketch Constraints Display Bugs

Can you supply a sample part where this behavior is seen?

John,

Thank you for the reply.
I'll try to recreate the conditions on a part from scratch, since I can't show the part. Hopefully bugs will come out again.
(unfortunately for question about trim feature robustness I couldn't recreate the error to provide you with the part.)
Thank you
Oleg

What if you zoom into the sketch?
