NX8 constraints groups?

NX8 constraints groups?

NX8 constraints groups?

(OP)
I've recently upgraded to NX8 from 6 and was keen to see how the constraints navigtor works
Apart from being able to show constraints by components etc, it seems to be very similar to before.
I'd like to be able to create groups of constraints, so that i can easily work with the ones that interest me, while i can hide/ignore others.
Also i was hoping that naming them would replace the default description with my named description(instead of adding it to the end)
In the past i've used layers to filter out ones i'm not interested in, maybe if you could show them by named layers this would also be a good option.
Can anyone suggest any way to help?

RE: NX8 constraints groups?

Both of these issues have been addressed in the next full release of NX, which we will be available later this year.

Hi John,
sorry but what moog2 is asking is present from NX 8.0.1.
In this version you can add constraints group, hide and show them an visualize whit only the custom name.

Thank you...

Using NX 8 and TC8.3

RE: NX8 constraints groups?

You're right.  We've been so focused on the next release (we just finished our 2nd week of beta testing) that I've kind of lost track of what has been happening with NX 8.0.x.x.  Granted, I've installing all the development phases and the MR's, mostly to help test the install scripts and such.  I've only been running it when I expressly needed to.
