Naming layers in 7.0
Naming layers in 7.0
(OP)
This might be simple and obvious, but I have been using NX for 7 months and I have yet to figure out how to name a layer. NX 7.0.

RE: Naming layers in 7.0
Now don't get me wrong, I agree that we need some sort of 'collector' mechanism in NX, but trust me, if I were designing it from scratch a fixed number of mutually-exclusive 'buckets' would be the last thing I would propose. I would rather see us rework 'Groups' into a more universal scheme where the user could control the behavior of these allowing more flexibility and being usable across the entire product in a consistent easy to understand manner. And yea, we could have 256 predefined 'groups' named 1 thru 256 for those people who have been using groups extensively and would like to at least retain what they have before they started to move out to something more usable.

RE: Naming layers in 7.0
My guess is that you are new to NX having come from some other CAD system. Tell us more about why you think the NX layering functionality should be changed and what benefit you see from the change.
For reference I have used UGII/NX from 1987(UG2 ver3) to 2010(NX4) and Pro/Engineer since 2001(2000i2) upto now(WF4).
