Why are thread symbols selectable from the sheet?
Why are thread symbols selectable from the sheet?
(OP)
Example:
I want to hide all the drafting objects on the drawing sheet and make a rectangle selection.
And I see that the thread symbols in the member views are also selected.
Now I use MB3 hide object, the result is: that now the drafting objects are blanked, but instead of the thread symbols,
the entire solids are blanked in the model area.
Also to change the object display is possible in this way!
That's really funny, changing model objects is now possible in drafting. *lol*
This is a function I want to have for the new "Move Object" command.
This is happened in NX6, NX7 and NX7.5
Is this a bug or a new function?
Thanks for your help!

As for the behavior with the blank, I will look into that as it seems to be a bug of some sort (however, I think I know what the 'problem' is and I suspect that this is the behavior that we are going to have to live with).

About "Move Object": if working in Drafting and switch off the drawing and press "File-> Properties" you will see that the "Creation Mode" is Model.
That means you using the Drafting application but working in the model area and until now, it was possible to move or copy geometries and drafting-objects together with the old transform dialog.
I didn't see any logical reason why it's now locked for "Move Object". But if you are changing the status of the geometries to view dependent, it works fine.
For Example:
I have finished my work with only 2D geometries, dimensions and all the drafting things. Or I have exported a drawing sheet with 2D-Exchange. That means no solid bodies and no parameters.
With the old transform it was possible to mirror it, to get very fast the solution for the left hand design. Or to scale it, that you get the geometries in scale 1:1.
I believe NX is on the best way to be a pure 3D CAD and will lose its previous 2D functions.
But we also really need the old 2D functions for 50% of our daily work.
