Part Navigator?

Part Navigator?

Part Navigator?

(OP)
Looking for the part nav setting that causes current feaure to be unblanked and shown.   Thanks.

RE: Part Navigator?

If you right click a feature you can choose 'show' or 'show parents', the option 'make current feature' will show the feature and make it current. Or are you looking for something else?

RE: Part Navigator?

(OP)
When I use "make current feature' the selected feature does not appear.   

RE: Part Navigator?

It doesn't work for any feature you try it on or only certain ones?

What version of NX? and can you post an example file?

RE: Part Navigator?

(OP)
It doesn't work for any feature.  That's the reason I believe there's a setting for this.  

 

RE: Part Navigator?

(OP)
NX6

RE: Part Navigator?

(OP)
NX6.0.0.24 to be more specific.

 

RE: Part Navigator?

You should at least apply the latest patch (6.0.5.3 I think) before you go on a potential goose chase with the settings.

RE: Part Navigator?

The only time I've seen this is when the feature is suppressed.  If it is, then it will not be visible, even when it's been made the 'Current Feature'.

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

RE: Part Navigator?

(OP)
If it's a result of the version I'm using, then there's nothing I can do about that, unfortunately.

Also, its not a result of the feature being suppressed.  It doesn't work regardless of the feature or the part file.  

Thanks anyway.   

RE: Part Navigator?

This is a long shot, but go to...

View -> Camera -> Edit...

...and go the section of the dialog labeled 'Clipping' and select the 'Fit Planes to Extents' button and then hit OK.  Now try editing the features.

RE: Part Navigator?

have you checked to make sure all of your layers are on?  This has bit me a few times.

RE: Part Navigator?

(OP)
Cowski, I found a reluctant IT guy to apply the 6.0.5.3 patch as you suggested. Problem fixed!!
