RE: Strange view in modeling

Can you get rid of them through View -> Operation -> Delete ?

RE: Strange view in modeling

Looks like the part was created with the "Add dimetric views" option set.

RE: Strange view in modeling

So what happens when you try to delete them?

RE: Strange view in modeling

What you need to do is RMC (right mouse click) on each of those views in the tree -> Activate -> then you should be able to delete them.
This is all new to me !

RE: Strange view in modeling

Also check to make sure that you have not somehow toggle ON the Customer Default which controls whether these 'special' views are being automatically created in your part files. If you don't unset this option, they will continue to show up.

This setting can be found at...

Customer Defaults -> Gateway -> General -> Part

...down near the bottom of the page.

RE: Strange view in modeling

I believe those are buried in the Customer Defaults for GM-related parts (in-car position views). You'll have to manually delete them from the part. If they are present when you create a New part (File -> New), you will have to edit your GM-related defaults (if different from your User level & if you have permissions to do so); THIS MIGHT BE MORE THAN JUST GOING THROUGH THE CUSTOMER DEFAULTS - it might be set during your launching of NX & at the moment I don't have the time to dig in & find exactly where those dimetric views are called out. You can search any text based files for 'dimetric' to find them quickly if the Customer Defaults route proves to be a dead end.

Jerry,
I'm not able to delete dimetric views in 'Model view' part navigator, but only in 'Cameras'.

For John:
-Add dimetric view is not set in the customer default, this is a very old part.

Thank you...

RE: Strange view in modeling

Cuba,

You specifically said you IMPORTED the part (STEP, IGES, NX Part????) - so it could be getting those views from your Customer Defaults, not the legacy part; unless of course, you didn't do what you had initially posted. I'd recommend creating a NEW file and then checking your Camera and Model (in the Part Navigator) for those views - if they are there, then it's either in your current Customer Defaults or in a .dat file supplied by GM via their supplier toolkit. You will not be able to delete these views if they are what is called "canned views" - we have them in some of our legacy parts and they won't delete - we'd have to create a NEW file then import the part into the NEW file (using File -> Export -> Part). You MAY have to remove parameters to fully accomplish this - I don't have time to check this out fully for you.

Make sure you're changing your levels while in your Customer Defaults dialog (at the upper left, Defaults Level). You could be using Group, Site & User levels, in which case you'll have to check all 3 and see if there are any dimetric views defined.
