Hi all,
NX8.0

I know its just a settings somewhere but I looked in preferences>selection and I didnt find it there.
Problem:
If I am trying to pick a point on a line that is inside or behind a solid I cant pick a point in that line untill i hide the solid and actually able to see line in my view.
Anyody knows where that setting is?

Thanks alot.

RE: can't pick a line inside/behind a solid

Turn on "Allow selection of hidden wireframe", which works well in conjunction with the option: "Highlight hidden edges". These are toggle buttons that are probably already present on the selection toolbar; if not, you can customize the tool bar to add them.

Just had the exact same problem a couple of days ago. GTAC didn't know right away, but eventually we got it.

To the Toolmaker, your nice little cartoon drawing of your glass looks cool, but your solid model sucks. Do you want me to fix it, or are you going to take all week to get it back to me so I can get some work done?
