Problem with selecting curves for cross hatching
Problem with selecting curves for cross hatching
(OP)
Attached is a jpeg of a small area of my plan of die that I am trying to place cross hatching to represent the area of the strip that will be cut out. I sketched the light blue curves to close the boundry. However I am not able to select the green curves after I select the blue, nor am I able to select the other grren or blue if I start with one of the green ones. Please help.

With your drawing displayed, set the view where you wish to create your crosshatching to be a Sketch view (in NX 5.0 you'll need to select the Sketch icon first and then select the view, whereas with the newer versions you can just select the desired view, press MB3 and select the 'Active Sketch View' option). Now start by using the Sketcher 'Project Curve' function and select the 'Green' curves. Then draw your 'Blue' curves forming a closed boundry. Now you can select these Sketch curves as your new Crosshatch boundary.

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