How to keep NX from renumbering Features?
How to keep NX from renumbering Features?
(OP)
This question comes from the I-Deas world. In I-deas features would hold and keep the value after the feature. For example extrude 185 would always be extrude 185 until it got renamed. In NX these numbers that are assigned to features are changing constantly. Is there a setting that can be changed to keep NX from Changing this number when modifications happen to the model? The reason for this is to be able to compare the modified model history to an older revision of the same part. So if some sketches change that was not excepcted one can go back in the old model and do a search for the sketch 345 and it could be found in the older model.

In I-Deas the work flow would be a feature would have an epic fail. One goes into the extrude and the wireframe has no gone nuts. So I go into the old revision of the part do a search for that same extrude and look to how the model was designed at the begining. It is the search for the same features from one revision to another revision I am looking for.
Thanks for suggestions.

Sorry I am not aware if it can be done via part navigator but in case you are working on concept parts (not assemblies) then you may try EXPORT /PART with retain all parameters.You will see that the new part containing this exported feature history will have it in proper order.

So the bottom line is that the 'number' that you see after a feature in the Part Navigator is NOT really part of the 'name' of the feature, it merely indicates the order in which the feature will be updated.
