How to create and Manage customized 3D Views in Siemens NX?
(OP)
Hi Everyone,
Sometimes I doubt to myself. In CATIA is everything so simple. Now, after I
come back to NX I have difficulties....
I like to create customized (= self made) View in 3d. When I press or "Add
View" some words shows up in the menu when you click the right Mouse
button under Orient View/Custom View and a window shows up with a
numbers of Views you tried to create with "Top...". But, thats it.
But I like to rename this views and I like to order/workwith this views. I have
two high praised Books from USA and Germany, no word about a
customized view and I had a look up and down here in the forum, no hits in this direction.
See attached image. Its a Truck Cabin for a phantasy truck.
Thanks in advance

From the Part Navigator, you also have the option to create a 'View Set', which provides a rather neat way of creating up to 8 new views, plus the current view, oriented using 'standard' projections RELATIVE to the orientation of the current view. Give it a try and I think you'll see how this could prove to be very useful at times.

I tried first the method of JohnRBaker. Works great.
The method of cowski is still not solved. The first problem was the "save as" in View orientation. This order button was not on the menu, I had to order this with the commend search. I think it is a catastrophic feature of NX, not to have all orders or buttons in the menus available like in CATIA or Solid Works. I plan to write a letter or email to the management of Siemens.
Then the next problem. Now I have the Orient View open (from Custom View) and click now helpless around in this menu like a non swimmer in a pool of piranha's. First time no reaction. All of the sudden some other views show up.
Can you cowski explain how it works? I would be very helpful. Thx

Can you post a picture of the dialog you are talking about?

Anyway, the point is that perhaps you're not using NX with 'full menus' enabled. Go to the Roles tab and select one of the 'System Default' roles 'with full menus' and see if this turns ON those 'missing' items for you.

For Cowski,
it's like this before but with other names. It is in the modeling module. Via Tree it works fine now but I have no idea how to handle the window under custom view.
Thx
