select work plane objects only
select work plane objects only
(OP)
the sketch tool ---'select work plane objects only' does not seem to work on my recently installed 8.5 version of NX. Is there a switch to turn it back on or is it a bug in 8.5 ?





RE: select work plane objects only
To activate the option to 'Make Objects Off Work Plane Non-selectable' you have to first toggle ON the 'Work Plane Emphasis' icon on the 'Utility' toolbar. Only then will the 'Make Objects Off Work Plane Non-selectable' icon become active, at which point you can now toggle it ON.
Now this is a change of behavior from earlier versions of NX, but note that once you've toggled ON both the 'Work Plane Emphasis' icon and the 'Make Objects Off Work Plane Non-selectable' icon, you only need to toggle ON/OFF the 'Work Plane Emphasis' icon to control both behaviors.
Anyway, give this a try and see if it works.
