stop process?
stop process?
(OP)
I have a file that has hung up on update after I edited a blend. it says it's updating 100% and updating the last feature. is there any way I can interupt the process without killing the UG session? (I haven't saved in quite a while)
Running NX 7.5 in Windows
Thanks

moog2 is right. I've had it error on me too but I've also wish I could hit stop just waiting for an object to preview. There have been so many times I accidentally clicked the wrong line, trying to select a series of lines, causing NX to try its best to solve it.
A stop button would be an awesome addition to the next version of NX. (Hint hint...)
Maybe even a "delayed preview" check box?

Due to the nature of NX using many modules which are basically 'black boxes', like Parasolid, it it very difficult to halt the operation of some task when you don't have any direct control over what's happening behind the curtain. Also, with the nature of virtual memory, the application isn't always in a state where if it were halted it could resolve what it had or had not yet written to memory. Of course, any operation which is writing information to the disk cannot be halted before the operation is complete and the written data verified that its valid and complete.
Sure, we'd like a universal 'Halt whatever you're doing and do mess anything up' button, but they just don't exist and probably never will. That's just the nature of modern software/hardware architectural liminations.

NX is actually a collection of software 'modules', performing different tasks and which can be reused by different applications. For example, the solid modeling kernel, Parasolid, is a 'module' which could be called several times during the execution of the single task. And then we have the 'Constraint engine' which comes in a couple of different versions, 2D for the sketcher and 3D for defining the Component relationships in an Assembly. Even something like NX Sheet Metal is made up of modules which allows the system to create or manipulate solid models as if they were thin sheets of different metals which behave a certain way based on the fact that they will be formed into those shapes using certain manufacturing processes.

John can you please share the list?????
RE: stop process?
Besides, as I alluded to earlier, the operations which can be halted are supposed to indicate that by popping-up the 'Work in Progress' message with the included 'Stop' button enabled. While it's possible that some have been missed, if we already knew what those operations were, so that they could be compiled into a list, we would have already made sure that the 'Stop' button was enabled for them as well.
