can you delete a solid body or surface

can you delete a solid body or surface

can you delete a solid body or surface

(OP)
I am wondering if there is a way to delete a body that I have used to define a feature. like if you want to split something with a surface for example. Usually it is moved to a different layer or hidden. The problem is if somebody uses the model and doesn't know what geometry to use. I am also using nx5, but might use nx8 in the future.

Only if you are willing to lose the defining parameters of the feature.

NX provides ways to determine the parents and/or children of a given piece of geometry. Other users will be able to figure out what you have done and how you have done it.

In NX 8.5 we will be providing a new function, 'Delete Body', which will delete either Solid or Sheet bodies WITHOUT destroying the parametric nature of your part model, even if a deleted body had been used as a 'tool body' in some previous Modeling operation.

Thats what I was hoping for, just too bad its 3.5 versions ahead of us. Siemens really made a lot of good improvements to UG in that time.

it's actually 5 releases past the one you've got: NX6, NX7, NX7.5, NX8 then NX8.5 bigsmile
