UG NX Drafting view convert to un associated curves
UG NX Drafting view convert to un associated curves
(OP)
At my last place of business I used a command to un associate a base view (or convert the view to curves) in order to keep the view from showing as "out of date" as work continued on assemblies and this also sped the generation of the views for my very large assembles as each component didn't have to load to create the drawing view.
I could later re associate the view and update when I wished. I can't remember where this feature is. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

RE: UG NX Drafting view convert to un associated curves
That seems to be how I remember doing this using NX 6 But maybe the wording has changed a bit in NX 7.5 (that I am using).
The options are "None or Associative" Mine was set to "none" by default. So if I set to Associative this will extract the edges and make them static until I initiate an update by toggling back to none? Along with toggling off the delay view update (which also by default is currently set to on for me).
So this leads me to another problem of sorts that I have been battling (and I am hoping this trick will fix at least until I can solve the root of the problem) I have an assembly drawing with many imported step solids from IDEAS and in my drawing I am experiencing many dimensions disappearing from the drawing after I add them save close and then re open at later date. I believe this must be a corrupt file or something that has to do with the imported bodies but I must get released prints to my customer and don't have time to remake the drawing from scratch. Hoping by making the lines static it will solve the issue at least temporarily. Do you think this may fix my dissapearing dimension issue?
Thank you for your help with this
