is there a way to have more then 256 layers?
is there a way to have more then 256 layers?
(OP)
for all the years i have been using UG/NX (since v16) i have ever only been able to use 256 different layers. today i open a part to examine from some one else and i notice in the model navigator some of the items are on layer 258! i don't know how this could be!
i have changed the show window to 'all layers' but 258 does not come up. help!! some of the part is developed with sheet metal.
i have attached a picture to show.

That being said, I don't really know how your model ended-up organized as it was, but I have seen this before (but not for awhile) and don't recall if anyone ever figured out what happened in those cases either.

thanks for replying. i have noticed that i can select the object and move to for example 256 so i guess that is what i will do.
funny thing is if i review the properties of the object it does report out layer 258. i was even thinking that it was a 'named' layer but even still the name of the layer does not show up on the model navigator.
if you do get the chance to dig into this more i would appreciate it.

However, if you edit those feature that are on layer 258, it will display that geometry
