Constraints selection by rectangle in NX8.5
Constraints selection by rectangle in NX8.5
(OP)
Hi,
In NX8, it was possible to select some constraints (colinear and equal length in the given example) with a small rectangle selection around the first symbols.
In NX8.5 we need to draw a big rectangle around all symbols. It's very bad and dangerous because another constraint could be inside this big rectangle
I hope to be clear: have a look at the zip file that containt 2 images and the NX8 part
I hope to be wrong and that there is a setting

Go to...
Preferences -> Selection...
...and change the 'Selection Rule' to 'Crossing' instead of 'Inside'.
Now you will need to be careful since in your example the Line will also be 'Crossing' the selection rectangle so you will either need to filter for 'Sketch Constraints' or if you don't set a filter, you will need to be prepared to deselect (Shift-Select) any object with is not of interest before pressing the 'Delete' key.
Now to make this quicker, if you haven't already, enable the 'Selection Rule' item on your Selection Bar and then you will not need to go to Preferences every time that you wish to change the Selection Rule to 'Crossing' and then back to 'Inside' afterwards.

Thanks for your answer. It works but it's a little disturbing to change our habits to each version
