NX6 self hidden feature
NX6 self hidden feature
(OP)
I have searched several different ways to find a term that I believe is correct. When using some Booleans, sheet metal and a lot of sketch based operators. The creating object disappears. Is the correct term for that "consumed"? Thanks Guys

If You expand your "unite" (and other booleans) menu you will see options to retain the tool or target or both - that may be something that interests you.

I too am looking for a solution so I will try to explain it a little better and hope that either of you or someone else knows how to eliminate this behavior.
What is happening is that upon creation of a new feature of any sort, the objects that you use for reference, or creation if you will, are automatically hidden. For example: when creating a new offset datum plane from an existing one, the referenced datum will automatically be hidden likewise upon creation of an extrusion or revolve from a curve or sketch will cause that curve or sketch to automatically be hidden.

I have been through all of the customer defaults and preferences yet still have not found any settings for this. I have also been through the ugii_env.dat file with no luck.
Perhaps I have overlooked it. If you are working on NX 6 and don't see this then I would tend to agree with you that it is something to do with the setting. Guess I will have to check the settings once more.
If I find the setting, I will post where I found it for anyone else who is experiencing this.
Thanks.
